    I did extensive research before making this purchase since in my mind, cheap = bad for lenses. But all of the positive aspects I had read about it, the impressive sharpness throughout the focal range, solid image stabilization, and the ultra-quiet, smooth handling, all turned out to be true. I have been able to get quite soft/silky bokeh results with certain images (fully extended focal length and good separation of fore vs. background) however I think this is where the difference between this and an L lens becomes a little more apparent. The higher priced glass, from my experience purely of looking at other peoples images, seems to produce more buttery bokeh ... however, again, this can depend on the photo and the camera (crop vs. full frame sensor). Also, keep in mind that its not the fastest glass on the market, so if you are shooting in low light conditions, just be conscious of the F/5.6 limitations at 250 mm (much of this can be taken care of with increased ISO and the IS turned on). In the end, my motto has always been that its not the what, but the who and the how that determines a great image. If you have a solid understanding of photography and a good command of your photographic tools, this lens will not get in the way of creating a winning photo! And for this price, it really is a no-brainer.

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).
