Telephoto Zoom EF-S Lens (55-250mm, F/4-5.6)

( Lens Aperture: 4f-stops )

Star Full Star Half

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 (when used on Canon EOS cameras compatible with EF-S lenses), 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.

I just got this lens last month and have been mostly pleased with the results. It is only my second DSLR lens next to the 18-55mm standard lens, but I am pleased with it so far. The only thing I found is some pictures can be a little bit blurry if you zoom in all the way.

The cost of this lens compared to the next in line makes this lens a great value. To get a slightly better zoom you have to pay almost twice as much. I am very happy with this purchase

I bought this lens to bring to the Zoo, parks, etc with my kids to get close ups of animals and such. So far so good. The image stabilizer is a must! However, if I had the extra cash, I'd go for the 18-250 with the stabilizer instead. Good lens for the price.
