Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS STM Review

 

Canon has updated this lens well, primarily in the focusing category with both internal focusing and the STM motor. The pricing hasn't changed much, so if you're looking for a good telephoto addition to your bag, you really can't go wrong here.

Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS STM

 

The Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS STM is a sharp telephoto zoom, but its aperture is anything but ambitious.

A great wee lens

 

Bought this as a "starter" lens with my new Canon 7D Mk2 and have not been disappointed. Allows me to learn with the camera and I have been surprised with the image quality. Got it with £20 refund from Canon and as such, its a snip.

Great Picture Quality ; Lightweight

Silent Movie Star

 

Bought initially for the occasionally movies on my Canon 70D as my 24-105L series lens is to noisy, but amazingly with picture quality and sharpness for stills approaching the latter and its increased range (approaching my 70-300mm lens) then it's...

Canon Ef-S 55-250Mm F/4.0-5.6 Is Stm Lens

 

Canons' 55-250mm EF-S zoom lens with image stabiliser. A Nice reasonably compact size zoom lens which complements the Canon 18-55mm lens nicely. Described in some reviews as being light in weight due to its main plastic body I found it felt quite...

Great value lens

 

For this money it is an amazing lens, good (stm) focus motor for quick and silent autofocus. Also the 55-250 range is a really nice telephoto focal length, especially on a APSC camera. Love this lens. Love Canon.
