Great lens.

I bought this lens a month ago and have used it at a few live events, very impressed with the results, even without a tripod. The auto-focus is quiet too. Great lens.

A great wee lens

Bought this as a "starter" lens with my new Canon 7D Mk2 and have not been disappointed. Allows me to learn with the camera and I have been surprised with the image quality. Got it with £20 refund from Canon and as such, its a snip.

Best bang for your buck

Very happy with this lens so far. The image stabilization (IS) truly separates it from the other economical options out there.

I did buy it again!

I had a 55-250 a year ago, and also had a 70-300. I decided to sell the 55-250 thinking the 70-300 would satisfy my desire for a bit more reach without sacrificing image quality. After all, the 70-300 was more substantial in size, build, and weight, and the IS was nothing short of amazing.

Purchased this to replace the old IS II version of this lens that had broken. I am extremely impressed with this lens for the price. The STM autofocus is completely silent, and the image stabilization is excellent. It feels well built and has no play or lens droop.

Built solely for Canon APS-C DSLRs, the 55-250mm offers a 35mm equivalent focal length of 88-400mm. While this is a highly versatile telephoto zoom range, other lenses in our round-up can zoom in over twice as tight.
