Features and handling The unusual 55-250mm focal length range of this telephoto lens butts up neatly with Canon's 18-55mm standard kit lens. Between them, the two optics offer EOS users an uninterrupted range of 18-250mm – that's 29-400mm once you factor in the EOS system 1.6x crop factor.

Canon EF-S 55-250mm f4.0-5.6 IS Telephoto Zoom Lens for Canon Digital SLR Cameras

I had ordered this item from a different site and never received it. I was really very frustrated because they had charged me 4 something I never got and I really need it but couldn't wait long. So I ordered from you, guys, but never believed it will come on time 4 the trip that I needed it.

Seems to be a pretty awesome lens so far.

I'm still learning how to fully utilize this lens which came as part of a package deal with the Canon EOS Rebel T3i that I purchased. It seems to be a great little lens for taking quality distance shots. I expect to appreciate it even more as I learn to use it to it's full capacity.

  • Still learning how to use this

Cons:

Cannon Telephoto Lens 55 -250 IS

Lens works great, I already had a 18 - 55 mm, this is a good companion. Because I have to change lens quite often, I considered other options that covered the 18 to 300 mm range, but they were to expensive.
Pros:
  • Great Lens
Cons:
  • None
