Editorial Reviews
| Product Description Bring your photographic subjects closer with this Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS Image Stabilizer Telephoto Zoom Lens. It is designed with Canon’s Optical Image Stabilizer technology and is compact and light. 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). The image stabilizer effect is 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. Filter Size – 58mm Max. Diameter – x Length 2.8 in. x 4.3 in./70 x 108mm (maximum lens length) Weight – 13.8 oz./390g Canon 1 year limited warranty |
User Reviews
Taking childrens pictures without scaring the subjects 
Very good lens for the money. Very cost effective for advanced beginners with today’s budget constraints
Good in relatively low incident and ambient lighting, wherein flash would distract the subject. Should have been sold with a pouch.
good buy 
Very good buy. Still getting to try out its full capabilities. So far so good.
Works Great!
Used the lans a few times at our kids athletic events, very pleased. Great lens for a novice photographer.
good quality with reasonable price
Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS Image Stabilizer Telephoto Zoom Lens
is worth the money, the focus is great and quick. I got a better picture of the goldfinches in the backyard, crisp and sharp the image stabilizer helps to get the best shot with out the blur.
Great piece of kit for the price
When looking at lenses, generally you know what type of photography you are hoping to do. This one is great for wild life photography.
There are some caveats. The biggest issue I have is with the speed of the auto focus. Yes, auto focus is built in and it works well, however it can seem to be glacial when trying to snap photographs of animals (or anything) in motion. Slow auto focus generally won’t be an issue with macro photography (assuming you aren’t photographing insects and such). I have missed shots and when I think I may want faster focus I put it on manual and adjust out to a specific distance and try to ensure what I am photographing is always that distance. Of course, this isn’t perfect either as I’ve gotten blurred subjects due to an incorrect focus plane.
Image stabilization is tremendous. It works rather well and as others have stated, it enables you to take a photograph a few f-stops lower than usual as it will accurately compensate for vibration.
One issue professionals may not approve of is the use of plastic housings. For normal, non-professional (and even some professionals), the plastic housing will be fine and you won’t notice a difference. For the photo-pro though, metal is obviously more sturdy and hardy, allowing for some bumps and bruises along the way while it travels in your kit bag. Plastic also makes the lens lighter.
The only other problem I have, and it’s only a problem when I forget proper flashes, is that the aperture is designed more for outdoor photography in decent to great lighting conditions. I’ve missed shots indoors (yeah, I’ve used it indoors) because of this.
Of course, if you’re looking for a lens that doesn’t have any of these issues, double or triple the amount of money you are willing to spend on a lens, as fast focusing lenses with better apertures will cost you.
Over all though, this is a great piece of kit, especially at this price. I bought mine elsewhere and bought it as a Canon refurb, but it was well worth what I paid and would be well worth Amazon’s asking price. No question about it.
