I'm going to purchase a Canon Telephoto Lens that uses the EF Mount.

My friend is willing to pay half if i let her borrow it; however, she has a Nikon D3000.
Will she be able to use this EF Lens on her F mount Camera.

Please be descriptive in explaining if these mounts can or can't hold the same type of lenses.

No, and that lens is the worst one canon currently makes.

No you can't - the mounts are incompatible.

NOPE

You need to buy a Nikon AF-S lens for your friend.
The AF-S 70-300 mm lens is what you need to buy

The Canon EF 75-300 mm is one of the worst lenses Canon ever made, so there's a reason they sell at such a low price

No you can't.

And please don't buy it for yourself. I have that lens and it is very poor.
The Canon EF-S 55-250 F/4-5.6 IS (which I also have) is much much better not least because it has image stabilisation.

In a word: NO. Canon and Nikon use proprietary lens mounts and they are incompatible. Buy a Canon lens for a Canon DSLR. Buy a Nikon lens for a Nikon DSLR.

It is possible to put a Nikon F mount lens on a Canon EOS body using an adapter, although that is probably more trouble than it is worth. There's no adapter to put a Canon EOS mount lens on a Nikon F body. That is because the Canon mount is a larger diameter than the Nikon.
