Is the canon rf 75 300mm f 4 5 6 good for wildlife?

It's a reasonable budget pick for wildlife, but with limits. At 300mm on full frame, you get a modest reach for the price, and the light weight makes it easy to carry on a long walk. The catch is that it has no optical stabilisation, so you'll need a fast shutter speed or a steady support to avoid blur. It's also slow at the long end, f/5.6 at 300mm, so it needs decent light.

On an APS-C Canon RF body, the crop gives you roughly 120-480mm equivalent, which helps if you need more reach for small or distant animals.

If you're new to long lenses, the wildlife and sport guide explains why the subject is so hard to get, and Buying used is a good way to try a longer focal length without losing much money.
