Canon EF-S 55-250mm F4-5.6 is STM

I just received this and am a beginner. If you put your DSLR camera on automatic then youll have no problem. I guess my comment is more about how this lens compares with the 18-55 mm lens in terms of how easy it is to use. From a value for dollar POV - impossible to beat. The Image stabilization feature is definitely worth the extra cost. And I was able to bring high rise buildings that were about 5 miles in the distance into enough focus that you can make out the lights in the various rooms.

Pictures are sharp all the way through focal range, and colors are true. Fast silent focusing. I would buy again and recommend to my friends. Using on a Canon 70d. The hawk photo was taken at 250mm, very over cast day, shutter speed 320, f8, and 1600 iso. The butterfly was taken at 250mm, shutter speed 400, f5.6, and 100 iso.

Smooth and quiet - and with faster focussing than its predecessor. Sometimes it has a little difficulty finding little birds or fast moving objects, but that is the only (almost) negative thing I can say about it - and to me its not even that big a deal.

Good product very happy!

Quiet focus, light cause plastic body but feels cheap cause of plastic body. At the end of the day good bang for the buck

Ich freue mich so sehr über das Objekt. Vielen Dank!

Let me first say that I have not used L Glass lenses, yet. I have read that other reviewers said that the 55-250mm is approaching the crispness of L or as good. Someday hopefully I will get to SEE what everyone is talking about with the L factor. If I go someplace to take pictures, I find that I keep the 55-250mm on the my T5i most of the time, even for grabbing a few quick flower shots.

Ok

This is definitely an incredible lens. I recently took on the hobby of photographing wildlife, and have gotten some great pictures with this lens. My only complaint Is that the autofocus is a little slow, making it pretty difficult to catch birds in flight

Canon has a truly immense selection of telephoto lenses.
