Items In SLR Lenses You Might Be Interested InProduct Details of Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS Telephoto Zoom LensDescription This telephoto zoom lens is designed with Canon's Optical Image Stabilizer technology while retaining compactness and lightness, in response to demands of photographers. This high zoom ratio lens is equivalent to a focal length of 88-400mm in the 35mm format , and the image stabilizer effect equivalent to a shutter speed about 4 stops faster than the same size lens without Image Stabilizer. In other words, if the slowest shutter speed you could formerly hold a 250mm lens steadily was 1/250th of a second, with Canon's 4-stop stabilization correction, you could hand-hold at shutter speeds as slow as 1/15th of a second. It also uses a UD-glass lens element to correct chromatic aberration for excellent image quality throughout the zoom range. This new EF-S telephoto lens with great features delivers excellent performance at an affordable price for all photographers.

A great dealStrengths: IS, image quality, good range, light, price Weakness: AF, Small aperture, cheap construction Overall, I'm very satisfied with this lens considering of its price range. It is very useful on a 1.6x body and I'm using it even more often than my standard zoom lens now. Highly recommanded!

You do get what you pay forStrengths: Cheap, light, small, good range Weakness: Cheap construction, slightly soft Only 2 weeks usage, but I am generally pleased with the lens. It's not great, but it is a budget level lens, so expectations should not be high. Considered the 70-300IS also, but at 2x cost, did not think it was worth it, and prefer to have 55 on the short end rather than 70. Recommended, for what it is.

Cannon Telephoto Lens 55 -250 ISStrengths: Great Lens Weakness: None Lens works great, I already had a 18 - 55 mm, this is a good companion. Because I have to change lens quite often, I considered other options that covered the 18 to 300 mm range, but they were to expensive.

The Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS is a compact and light telephoto zoom lens featuring a wide focal range that accommodates many situations, including portraits, sports, landscapes, etc. Due to its ES-F configuration, the unit is only compatible with Canon APS-C/1.6x FOVCF bodies. Critics have noted the unit’s bad build, in that the lens mount is plastic, and the focus ring is not all that... Top

Good low-cost telephoto choice. IS is great.
Strengths: Image Stabilization. Low price. Decent build.
Weakness: Slow AF. Small aperture. EF-S only mount.
The No. 1 reason to buy this lens is image stabilization. I wouldn't buy any telephoto lens without IS nowadays. Compare any two pictures taken at 250mm and 1/15s, with and without IS, and you can tell the difference easily even on the tiny camera LCD. The No. 2 reason is price. If you are not planning to upgrade to a full-frame camera soon, this is one of the most affordable telephoto lenses...
