It kind of ... exists and it is higher than … rebel (pun intended!)People would rebel at that.
Not entirely right, the RF protocol is very different to EF (runs at a far higher clock speed for example) but the RF bodies are designed from the start to talk both RF and EF protocols, so EF lenses and RF lenses both work natively. The adaptor for the EF-RF lenses simply allows physical connection.
This is why third parties can do "RF" lenses because they are using the mount with the older EF protocols. No-one yet understands the RF protocols outside Canon, which is why you won't see third party lenses with control rings.
Not to forget the 70-300mm f/4-5.6 which was also a kit lens.
I got some version of the 75-300mm for $100 with my first Rebel, a bit overpriced it turned out. But I did make good shots of the total eclipse a few years back. Shooting at f/11, most of the chromatic aberration went away.Much more often it was the truly awful EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III...

But if I recall correctly, those were more "retailer kits" than kits boxed together at the factory.
It was in its own box as I recall, but it was a Canon promotion. You could buy the camera with just the normal kit zoom, and then you had the option of adding $100 to get the telephoto also. The whole purchase was completely an impulse purchase. I went into the store to look at washers and dryers and flat-screen TVs as I was preparing to retire and move into this house, where I didn’t have any of those. The Rebel itself was decent, but very noisy in low light. I had been using 4MP Casio that had a Canon lens. It was my first digital camera, bought for my 2002 Alaska cruise. The Rebel (an Xsi, or something like that) was my first DSLR. It mainly taught me that I wanted a better camera. I shot with the T3i that followed for a number of years. I didn’t get a good telephoto until after I got the 6D2.Was the 75-300 factory boxed with the rest of the kit? Or was it part of a "dealer" kit that was in its own box?
