Canon Ef-S 55-250Mm F/4.0-5.6 Is Stm Lens
Canons' 55-250mm EF-S zoom lens with image stabiliser. A Nice reasonably compact size zoom lens which complements the Canon 18-55mm lens nicely. Described in some reviews as being light in weight due to its main plastic body I found it felt quite substantial, albeit not as heavy as an all metal...

this lens is a bit similiar story to 18-55 STM. it hits the sweetest spot of size and weight for this focal range - just enough heavy for good handholdability, not too heavy to not want to carry it around.
Pros:
- inexpensive
- size and weight spot on for a Rebel body and this focal range
- good shapness until some 180mm
Cons:
- lack of microcontrast

So far so good
Pretty great lens for the price. I had been looking for a while at the 70-300 range, but none featured IS. I read a lot of reviews and watched tons of videos. This one seemed to be the best, i was willing to pay the $250 they charged on Amazon, but at $170 this was a steel.

Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS STM
I purchased this used on Ebay for 138.00. I have used the ISII version of this lens. While I was impressed with that lens I must say this one is even sharper. I purchased this STM model to complement the kit 18-55stm that came with my SL1.
Pros:
- sharp
- silent and built solid
Cons:
- Really nothing so far

The Lens You Must Have ....
Being a proud of owner of Canon EOS 500D and this lens makes me overwhelmwed with the output of the photos that I am clicking. 10X Zoom is the best and the clarity of the picture taken is so great,each and every detail can be identified.This lens is must to have when you are using a SLR.

Canon's new EF-S 55-250mm f/4.0-5.6 IS is designed specifically for cameras with 'APS-C' sized sensors and combines light weight with a very low price tag for an optically-stabilised lens.

Great lens
I got this lens with my 500D and have used it too many times to count. It takes very good photos and the only flaw I can find is that the focus doesn't lock when set to auto-focus which may cause damage to the lens if turned accidentally, this problem has been fixed with the new model of the lens...
Pros:
- Super-sharp images

Nice lenss for the buck
Nice lens and focal distance. Size light enough to carry on camera all day. Long distant focus can be an issue in auto mode. Manual focus helps in that case. Great compliment to the standard lens that comes with most cannon EOS cameras.
Pros:
- Easily Interchangeable
- Lightweight
Cons:
- Lens Creep

A must have in every photographer's bag!
Pretty much this is a zoom lens that enhances any enthusiast photographer's capabilities of shooting moments at a far distance. It's quite useful, especially if you're a wildlife photographer, and don't want to scare the target (bird, reptile, etc.
