description :
This telephoto zoom lens is designed with Canon's Optical Image Stabilizer technology while retaining compactness and lightness, in response to demands of photographers. This high zoom ratio lens is equivalent to a focal length of 88-400mm in the 35mm format , and the image stabilizer effect equivalent to a shutter speed about 4 stops faster than the same size lens without Image Stabilizer. In other words, if the slowest shutter speed you could formerly hold a 250mm lens steadily was 1/250th of a second, with Canon's 4-stop stabilization correction, you could hand-hold at shutter speeds as slow as 1/15th of a second. It also uses a UD-glass lens element to correct chromatic aberration for excellent image quality throughout the zoom range. This new EF-S telephoto lens with great features delivers excellent performance at an affordable price for all photographers.

The Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS is a compact and light telephoto zoom lens featuring a wide focal range that accommodates many situations, including portraits, sports, landscapes, etc. Due to its ES-F configuration, the unit is only compatible with Canon APS-C/1.6x FOVCF bodies. Critics have noted the unit’s bad build, in that the lens mount is plastic, and the focus ring is not all that smooth. Featured is a Micro Motor AF system that’s been touted as slow but accurate, a narrow aperture, and a short Minimum Focus Distance and yields a high Maximum Magnification. There is no Full Time Manual focusing, however. Additional features include a 4-stop Image Stabilizer with vertical and horizontal auto-panning detection, and a light weight frame. Critics say though the Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS doesn’t offer the greatest in image quality and build, it does host an extremely “inexpensive” price. Features Compact/Lighweight Telephoto Lenses Wide ... PROS: (1) excellent price for an IS zoom lens, most cost quite a bit more (2) images are sharp through the center and edge to edge (3) IS makes composition at 250mm much easier, nice to work with (4) small and light for a 70-300 lens ... CONS: (1) the light weight and finish on the plastic feel cheap (2) low light focus is noticeably slow, have to plan ahead a little for it in the moment (3) rear lens cap falls off, plastic flanges on the back cant seem to hold any lens cap (4) front of lens rotates and moves in and out a lot while focusing, can make you have to recompose the shot sometimes
