I have owned my Canon Rebel T1i for a few years now but only just got around to buying a second lens for it recently. I love everything about nature and wildlife; a great subject for photography. With the 18-55mm I could never quite get that perfect shot of wildlife.

Fast, capable, accurate lens.

I always carry a P&S camera with a fast f/1.8 lens and 3X zoom. But, for more distant subjects I use the Canon 55-250mm on a Canon T3i camera - and it does a great job.
Pros:
  • Consistent Output
  • Durable
  • Easily Interchangeable
  • Fast / accurate auto-focus
  • Lightweight

Successful purchase - Canon EF-S 55-250mm IS Lens

I bought this lens this week and I have been using it with my Canon 300D as my first additional lens to the one that came with the camera. I am very pleased indeed with the lens. I have taken some great bird photos and one or two others this week. The images are sharp and clear.

Better Than More Expensive Lenses

I bought this lens last summer and have taken well over 1000 pics with it. My demands are high as I photograph small birds which can be difficult at best. I take most pics at about 5 - 20 meters in dense brush. I use AF centre selection to focus directly on the tiny bird.

Excellent lens

Took some action shots at my son's hockey game and both the auto focus and image stabilization were fantastic. Even with the hockey glass in the way, the resulting pictures came out incredible. This is a Great product. And the price was right with the best buy sale.

I had ordered a great package deal that turned out to be a mistake on the website so instead of getting the camera bundled I thought I was getting, I only got the lens.
