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

very nice lens, love it

I’m anything but a professional photographer but I can I do take photos Daily. I found this lens to be a great addition. I have used it quite a bit this past few weeks and have had some great stills as well as moving shots with no issues. Recommended

The lens works fine but it is not like the older expensive version that is heavier. It does have difficulty auto focusing at times. I would not have purchased this lens had i been able to test it in a store. Extra.....Im adding to this review because i have had more time to work with it. Im not sure if the problem is my skills or the lens. Comparing it to the first lens i purchased when the camera was new, Canon 60d, the images are pretty good. Im still a beginner camera user of about five years but when i compare this lens to the first lens with the glass its about the same. The first two pics of cardinals are with the new lens and the last four are with the old lens. I hope this helps!

Hands down, my favorite telephoto lens for the price. I use it to photograph my horses and I dont have any trouble with getting clear action shots. This lens also gives me decent and clear photos in low light with a flash. Absolutely zero complaints.

Not enough for bird. Lens wise, good there is the stabilizer. Even better on a tripod.

Fonctionne très bien et livré à temps.

I ordered a pre-owned unit from Amazon for a respectable discount. Before I had this I used only the 18-55 that came with my rebel t8i. While I appreciated the pictures taken with that lens compared to a smart phone camera, this item all at once made me feel justified in getting something beyond a smart phone for photography. Im no expert, but even at an amateur skill level this lens produces incredible results compared to the dinky sensors on phones. Thoroughly pleased with my purchase. It makes family outings of all sorts more enjoyable and the clarity of far away subjects is so appreciable.

Amazing product I was really happy with how fast it shipped and the the amount of zoom on the lense 10/10

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.

Buy it for the image stabilization and the stepping motor focusing. You already know you want it for the zoom range. The next step up with Canon lenses can put a real dent in the bank account. Use the Canon Digital Photo Professional that came with your camera and add the lens correction data; it takes a really good lens and makes it great! As another site reviewer put it - If you cant take great pictures with this lens, its not the lens. Its you.
