What it is

{"overview":"The Canon EF 100-300mm f\/4.5-5.6 USM is a consumer-grade telephoto zoom for Canon's EF autofocus mount, designed for full-frame and APS-C SLRs. These figures are saleroom hammer results and reflect wholesale rather than retail levels, so clean copies offered through dealers can be priced higher. As a budget EF zoom, it sells for relatively modest sums and its value tracks closely with cosmetic and optical condition.","buying_guide":"Inspect the front and rear elements for fungus, haze and coating scratches, and check internal elements for any signs of separation or balsam staining. Work the zoom and focus rings through their full travel to confirm smooth operation without stiffness or grinding, and listen for the USM autofocus engaging cleanly.

Questions

Is the EF 100-300mm f/4.5-5.6 USM compatible with modern Canon cameras?

It uses the Canon EF mount, so it fits EF-mount DSLRs directly and can be adapted to RF mirrorless bodies via Canon's EF-to-RF adapter.

What should I check before buying one used?

Prioritise checking for fungus, haze, oil on the aperture blades, smooth zoom and focus action, and confirm the USM autofocus drives quickly and quietly.
