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.

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.

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 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.
