Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS - Retest @ 15mp / Review
Regarding the recently reviewed EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS I was prepared to receive another el-cheapo plastic lens but, honestly, the EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS did surprise me here a bit. Sure, it is not build like a tank but the plastic quality is fairly decent and the tolerances are pretty tight.

Disapointed
The information stated that if used with an eos cannon the zoom would be 85 t0 400mm and it is not I should have gottin the 75 to 350 for a $150.00 half the price and better zoom.

TELEPHOTO LENS WORTH EVERY PENNY
I needed a replacement lens, something affordable but that could help me capture the moments, sometimes from afar. This lens has worked great. The quality of the photos have been great and the value for the price is unmatched.

This is a light weight and inexpensive lens which takes very sharp photos at any focal length. Considering the crop factor (1.6) for my Canon T7i camera, it provides an effective telephoto focal length range of 88-400 mm. Excellent! Only downside is that the mount is plastic not metal.

Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS Lens Review
The Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS Lens is a small , light and economical telephoto zoom with a long focal length range - one that matches up very well to many general purpose zoom lenses . As it is an "EF-S" lens, the 55-250 IS can only be mounted on Canon APS-C/1.6x FOVCF bodies.
