Unless you are hooked on the Canon brand name ( no shame in this !) then you would be far better advised to look at the sigma 70-300 APO macro. Optically it is far better reviewed than the Canon 75-300 versions, with or without USM


Canon 6D
Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 , Canon EF 85mm f/1.8 Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 macro

Here's the best thread i've seen lately on the 75-300 (with lot's of example shots)-
https://photography-on-the.net …203777&highligh​t=75-300mm

As steve says the sigma Apo is better lens.
The sigma is a good allrounder with no real bad points. The canon usm has faster focus speed (good for sports) but is quite soft at the long end and has no macro ability
