Canon EF-S Telephoto zoom lens - 55 mm - 250 mm - F/4.0-5.6 - Canon EF-S

4.5 x zoom, 13.8 oz, 27.8 degrees view angle, 58 mm filter, 0.31 mag, 3.6 ft min focus

This telephoto zoom lens is designed with Canon's Optical Image Stabilizer technology while retaining compactness and lightness, in response to demands of photographers. 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), and the image stabilizer effect 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 shuttermore »

    CNET - Matthew Fitzgerald - Jun 27, 2008 - Editorial review
    Pros: Lightweight and compact; affordably priced; very usable manual focus capability; optical image stabilization for sharper handheld photos at slow shutter speeds.
     
    Cons: All-plastic construction, which is less durable than metal; sharpness falls off at 250mm where it is likely to see a lot of use.
     
    Bottom Line: A lightweight, compact design coupled with its stabilized 400mm-equivalent focal length zoom and affordable price make the Canon EF-S 55-250mm f4-5.6 IS a versatile lens for entry-level shooters and amateurs on a budget.
     
    Available for less than $300, the Canon EF-S 55-250mm f4-5.6 IS is a lightweight, affordable first or second lens to complement your entry-level or midrange digital SLR. With its 400mm-equivalent focal length, you get the reach and angle of view desirable for shooting portraits and sports, or just to bring the scenes in closer, with the image stabilization essential to keep those long telephoto shots from blurring from camera shake.

    This lens is like having a set of binoculars than the normals SKR s come with. I paid more than this. Get it, it s amazing If you have the money but don t know where to look, this one is super easy to use too, but yet when used properly, can be amazing. Not the best in the world, but the best in this price and class range.
