Compact and lightweight 4x zoom telephoto lens ideal for shooting sports, portraits and wildlife. The front of the zoom ring now sports a silver ring for a touch of luxury. The optical system, construction and exterior are the same as the EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III USM. The difference is that it uses a DC motor instead of a USM to drive the AF. The EF 75-300mm is suitable for sports and other applications requiring fast AF. A DC motor is used to power the AF. This version shares the compact size, close focusing range, and accessory compatibility of the USM lens. For many advanced hobbyists, the 75-300 range is ideal as a versatile entry into telephoto photography.
