Canon EF-S 55-250mm f4-5.6 IS
The Canon EF-S 55-200mm is equivalent to a 88-400mm lens on a film camera. This makes it a great all-round telephoto lens that's capable of capturing the action even when it's a long way away; football, rugby and cricket matches are good examples, as well as most types of motorsports.

Excellent distance lens
Great for shooting sports and anything a bit further away. Even if the subject still looks far away once the pic has been taken, you can zoom and crop still with immaculate detail.

Great lens for the price.
Using a 12mm extension tube with this lens enabled high quality images from 15 metres, using a Canon 200D.

A great 'kit' lens
This is a great little addition to my kit - it has a really positive zoom - doesn't slip when camera is tilted - it produces good sharp images with great colour reproduction. Lightweight too so easy to carry with me.
