    I wanted a telephoto lens, and this is a good lens for that; however camera shake that is associated with a lens at 250 really requires a tripod. This isnt a flaw in the lens, simply a fact of photography. I think, for what I love to shoot, I would have been better served getting the 24-105 and just eating the price. However, this lens is great if you enjoy nature photography, or landscapes. Ill keep it to have in my collection for when I feel the urge to photograph wildlife. Its very sharp for the price.

    I bought this lens for $199cad, it was too good to let it pass. It is a great upgrade to anyone who, like me, has a 18-55 ef-s with IS II kit lens. Its not only a range upgrade: color, sharpness and stabilization are way better with this lens. The focus is completely silent, faster and more precise than the 18-55 ef-s that came with my camera. Of course there are better lenses out there but not for this price. It is shipped with the lens cap but no pouch or hood but anyone on a budget would prefer this than paying 50$ more. It is the right choice by Canon. You can buy the pouch and hood one month later or whenever you have the money.

    I picked this lens up for my African Safari. We all cant afford the L series Canon zooms for safari and this little guy makes a reasonable substitute for the budget conscious shooter. On a crop camera I would have really like to have the 100-400mm focal range for Safari and I found myself staying almost entirely between 150-250mm with this lens. Fully zoomed at 250mm there is some heavy vignetting and most of the reviews hold true for image quality, distortion, sharpness, etc.

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).
