This non‑ultrasonic (non‑USM) version uses a standard micro‑motor for autofocus, giving it a characteristic vintage feel and making it popular among collectors and photographers who appreciate early EF‑series design. The 75–300mm range is ideal for wildlife, sports, portraits and general outdoor photography, and the lens remains compatible with all Canon EF and EF‑S mount DSLRs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVery Good\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLight cosmetic wear consistent with normal use.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAutofocus operates correctly on Canon EF\/EF‑S bodies.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eZoom and focus rings move smoothly with no stiffness.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAperture blades clean and responsive.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOptics present well with typical minor dust only.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupplied with \u003cstrong\u003eboth front and rear caps\u003c\/strong\u003e if applicable.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a clean, functional example of the original non‑USM 75–300mm, increasingly uncommon in good condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCanon EF 75–300mm f\/4–5.6 (Original Non‑USM Version)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFront Cap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRear Cap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy This Version Matters\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe first‑generation EF 75–300mm is notable for its place in Canon’s early autofocus history.
