A telephoto lens makes subjects appear closer than they actually are, which is great for when you can’t get close to your subject. This has an artistic purpose as well as a usability one, as it makes the seperation between subject and background clearer.

A Canon telephoto lens offers the creativity you expect from modern telephoto lenses, with wide maximum apertures allowing for daytime through to low-light use, perfect for wildlife and sports photography.

If you are struggling to find out which telephoto lenses you need, check out our How to Read a Canon Lens guide for further information.
