    I went flying recently with my son and was able to take wonderful pictures from an altitude of 5,000 feet.

    Really love this lens! Got it with a kit from Sams club but highly recommend. So far it has allowed me to get up close shots of animals quite far away. Image is still nice and clear. Silent zoom as well.

    Very quick to focus. Sharp picture and quiet. I think I’m really going to like this lens.

    Excellent lens but unhappy that it did not fit camera without additional equipment. Although I did ask for the lens to fit my camera it didn’t fit without another purchase of additional weight & cost!

    This went all the way to Oregon & helped me to capture some very tall, and very far away, waterfalls. Even a lighthouse a mile out in the Pacific Ocean!

    I’m an amateur photographer and this is a great starter zoom! I wish I could get a further zoom for wildlife photography, but this lens has opened a whole new world for me! I’ve had no issues and it’s worth the price!

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).
