Canon ef 75-300 is a zoom lens which has a minimum focal length of 75 mm and a max of 300mm. 300mm will bring you about 9x closer to you subject than the standard lens that came with the camera. I am assuming the standard lens is around 38 mm. 4.0-5.6 is the max size that the apature on this camera will open. An other words it is the opening that will allow the most amount of light. The minimum amount is probably f16 of 22 which will allow the least amount of light. If you are buying this camera new you should probably consider a digital camera. Film camera are going out of style. There is a web site you should go to if you decide to buy digital it has all the information you will need to make an educated guess on your purchase. www.dpreview.com Visit the forums and ask some questions most are very willing to assist.

indoors - 50 mm f1.4 or 1.8 prime lens
outdoors - a 24/200 or a 24-135
snowboarding - a 70-200L (canon) or equvalent with a 1.4 or 2x TC.
explaining your questions:
EF : type of lens, manufacturer specific
75-300 - the focal length range in mm (zoom range of the lens)
F 4.0-5.6 (the maximum apertures possible at 70 mm and 300mm)
III - the third model of the same lens with slight variation in specs from the earlier two releases (the earlier two have been, in all probabilities, discontinued) - also called as Mark III or Mark 3. Any further queries can be emailed to bijitbose@yahoo.com
