There are many 3rd party adapters for around the $20-40 range. Some of them have contacts for AF others do not. The Canon adapter will set you back $100. As mentioned the 75-300mm is a very old lens and generally not well reviewed especially on today's modern digital cameras. The EF-M 55-200 would be significantly better but also more expensive. The EF-S 55-250 would be another better lens to adapt.

You must be able to find the EF-M 55-200 for around € 250.

See a review of the 75-300 III (mediocre !), don't buy this lens

and the EF-S 55-200 compared to the EF-M 55-200

The latter is much sharper.

You are comparing the older version of the EF-S 55-250mm lens. You need to look at the more modern "STM" version. You also need to look at the much more important long end of these lenses. The EF-S 55-250mm IS STM is better (and cheaper) than the EF-M 55-200mm IS STM

Canon EF-M lenses have a very good price/performance and are compact and light, reason why you bought an M in the first place.

Don't get me wrong, I mount large tele lenses on an M too.
