Canon has announced a new zoom lens that could appeal to many photographers. The RF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 has a 4x zoom range and sits in an attractive price segment.
This lens is the RF version of the well-known and successful EF75-300mm. It has similar features, such as a lightweight design and a short throw on the zoom ring. A quarter turn is enough to go from 75mm to 300mm.
The minimum focusing distance at 300mm is 1.5 metres. The maximum aperture at this focal length is f/5.6. There are seven blades that form a circular aperture for attractive background blur.
The lens is 146.1mm long, but it becomes longer when zoomed in. The lens weighs just 507 grams.
The lens will be available from May 2025 at a recommended retail price of just 309 euros.

Nando, ben je van plan de lens uitvoerig te gaan testen en een review te gaan schrijven? -
