I am thinking about getting a refurbished Refurbished EOS Rebel T100. Is it compatible with Canon EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III Telephoto Zoom Lens? Also, what is the cheapest way I can go up to 400mm?

Thanks.

  • \$\begingroup\$ @inkista I'd argue they're not duplicates of the question as asked ("Is the EF 75-300 compatible with with Rebel T100?"). They are good additional information to support my rant about the 75-300 though :) \$\endgroup\$

Yes, Canon T100/4000D is compatible with EF 75-300. And if you want to reach 400mm for this sensor you will have it because equivalent focal length of this lens on this body is 480mm.

But you may have challenge with autofocus which may not work on long focal lengths (on this camera it will work fine till f5.6)

If you want to reach 400mm (real value) IMHO there is no cheap way. Maybe you can use mirror lens but they are manual focus and there is probability the image quality will not make you happy.

  • \$\begingroup\$ I doubt the image quality of the 75-300mm will make the OP happy either. It's probably the worst lens in Canon's entire current catalog. \$\endgroup\$
