Choosing between two Canon zoom lenses is really a question of where you'll be pointing your camera. If you shoot tight interiors, real estate, or wide scenic views, the Canon EF-S 10-18mm F/4.5-5.6 IS STM Lens - Pro Workhorse covers a 10-18mm perspective. If you need to bring distant subjects closer, the Canon EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 Telephoto Lens for Canon EF Mount 6473A002 offers a much longer range. Both are Canon lenses, but they serve very different scenes.
Quick verdict
If your priority is a wide view for indoor and tight-space photos, the EF-S 10-18mm at USD 139.00 fits that role. If you want telephoto reach for distant subjects and a lower listed price, the EF 75-300mm at USD 94.93 is the lower-priced pick.

Product notes
Canon EF-S 10-18mm F/4.5-5.6 IS STM Lens - Pro Workhorse
This lens is listed at USD 139.00 and carries a used condition. The 10-18mm focal range gives you an ultra-wide view for interiors, real estate, and vlog-style shots, and the automatic zoom focus is suited to quick framing changes. The listing describes this EF-S lens as suitable for Canon crop-sensor SLR bodies and notes a 2.8-inch length, so it is a compact option. The example shown has some cosmetic discoloration on the plastic internals; the description states the optical elements are unaffected. If you can accept the used appearance and prioritize a wide field of view, this is the listed lens to consider.
Canon EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 Telephoto Lens for Canon EF Mount 6473A002
This lens is listed at USD 94.93 as an open-box item. The 75-300mm zoom range is the longer reach in this pair, and the focus type is listed as auto and manual, so you can choose between AF and manual operation. The maximum aperture is f/4.0-5.6, and the title identifies it as a Canon EF mount lens. The open-box condition is the main thing to weigh: the listing describes the item as in new condition with no wear, but it may be missing original packaging and may be a factory second. If your shooting leans toward distant subjects and you want the lower listed price, this telephoto is the one to choose.
Final choice by use case
- Choose the Canon EF-S 10-18mm F/4.5-5.6 IS STM Lens - Pro Workhorse for indoor, real estate, and wide-landscape shooting where the 10-18mm range matters more than the extra cost over the 75-300mm.
- Choose the Canon EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 Telephoto Lens for Canon EF Mount 6473A002 when you need distance reach, want manual or auto focus, and prefer the $94.93 listed price.
Both are useful Canon zooms, but the right one depends on whether your subject is a room or a mountain.
