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.

Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4.0-5.6 IS Lens
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.

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 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.

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.
Pros:
- Still learning how to use this
- but I have been impressed with the photos I've been able to take while experimenting
Cons:
- No complaints

I bought this lens to accompany my Canon EOS 450d and it really has been a brilliant purchase. Pick one up on Amazon for well under ￡200 which is an absolute bargain. It has very good build quality and you really will notice the picture quality difference between using this lens and using the...
Pros:
- Price
- Quality

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
