    As an amatuer photographer, I cant say enough about what this lens has offered me in versatility, quality and at the same time being kind to my wallet. I shoot with a Canon T3 that I bought used with an 18-55 stock lens which was great for a while, but I eventually felt like I needed more reach in order to capture dragonflies, birds and other wildlife. This lens is my workhorse, not only for its reach, but also for its ability to take excellent close photos of people, flowers, or anything else that crosses my path that does not require a wider view to capture...The other lenses in my bag are Canons 24mm 2.8, the nifty fifty and a DIY tilt lens, (zenza bronica 75mm in a plumbing bell...cause I wasnt born rich).

    Amazing lens. Great image quality. Image stabilization is incredible. Autofocus is absolutely silent. Be warned though, the image stabilization does make very slight noise (placing my ear on the lens). This will not be a problem for most people, however, it might be a problem for videographers who film mainly completely silent scenes

    I’m an amateur photographer and this is a great starter zoom! I wish I could get a further zoom for wildlife photography, but this lens has opened a whole new world for me! I’ve had no issues and it’s worth the price!

EF-S55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS STM

For photographers and videographers looking to add versatility and range to their lens collection, the new EF-S 55–250mm f/4–5.6 IS STM telephoto zoom lens is a dream come true. Compact and lightweight with Optical Image Stabilizer for up to 3.5* equivalent stops of shake correction, it extends the camera"s reach significantly, capturing sharp images of far away objects, even when handheld. It features Canon"s amazing STM stepping motor and a newly designed high-speed CPU, rear focus mechanism and improved AF algorithm for high-speed performance, supporting Canon"s Movie Servo AF for smooth, quiet and continuous focus adjustments. The EF-S 55–250mm f/4–5.6 IS STM lens features one UD lens element that reduces chromatic aberration, helping to achieve excellent image quality with high resolution and contrast. The front element does not rotate, ensuring easy compatibility with accessories like polarizing filters, and full-time manual focus is available even while in AF mode. Enhanced coatings on the lens elements deliver excellent color balance and minimize ghosting and flare, and a 7-blade circular aperture delivers beautiful, soft backgrounds. The EF-S 55–250mm f/4–5.6 IS STM lens has a compact design thanks to a new six-group zoom system that provides a maximum magnification of 0.29x at the telephoto end and a minimum focusing distance of 2.79 ft./0.85m throughout the zoom range.

* Based on CIPA (Camera & Imaging Products Association) standards. Testing performed using the EOS 7D digital SLR camera at a focal length of 250mm (400mm in 35mm equivalence).
