Description |
| This telephoto zoom lens is intended together with Canon's Optical Picture 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 (when used on Canon EOS cameras compatible together with EF-S lenses), and the picture stabilizer result equivalent to a shutter speed concerning 4 stops faster than the same size lens not including Picture Stabilizer. In other words, if the slowest shutter speed you could formerly hold a 250mm lens steadily was 1/250th of a second, together with Canon's 4-stop stabilization correction, you could hand-hold at shutter speeds as slow as 1/15th of a second. It in addition uses a UD-glass lens element to correct chromatic aberration for outstanding picture excellence throughout the zoom range. This new EF-S telephoto lens together with excellent features brings outstanding performance at an reasonable cost for all photographers. |
| Incorporating Canon's Optical Picture Stabilizer technology, this Canon 55-250mm telephoto zoom lens captures long distance, low-light shots far better than many comparable lenses, helping you photograph the far-off action of athletes or zoom in for an intimate portrait together with a blurred background. The high-zoom-ratio lens is equivalent to a focal length of 88-400mm in the 35mm format (when used on Canon EOS cameras compatible together with EF-S lenses). Extra significantly, the picture stabilizer result creates an equivalent shutter speed of roughly four stops faster than the same size lens not including an picture stabilizer. In other words, if the slowest shutter speed you can hold a 250mm lens steadily is normally 1/250th of a second, this Canon lens will let you hand-hold shutter speeds as slow as 1/15th of a second. The lens in addition boasts a UD-glass lens element to correct chromatic aberration to make outstanding picture excellence throughout the zoom range. Bringing an outstanding performance at an reasonable cost for all photographers, the 55-250mm lens carries a one-year warranty. Specifications

 Great Value for a f4.0-5.6 lenss 2010-08-31 |
| By Kenneth R. Depree (Sosua, Dominican Republic) |
I've only had the lens for a short time, bought at same time as the Canon T2i to pick up where the 18-55 kit lens leaves off, but have taken some very good photos with it.
However, I learned taking photos at the Patriots vs Rams pre-season game that I will never get "pro" quality photos with in when shooting sports in the burst mode, at least not at night. Actually, night games for the pros are far different than high school teams because lighting was very good. With this lens the camera had no complaint with f5.6, shutter speed of 400, and ISO 1600. But the best shots were when there was a momentary pause in the fast action and of people in the background watching the action because a shutter speed of 400 was not fast enough to get crisp shots of moving people.
Actually, with post processing, most of the game shots are fine for personal enjoyment. But few would cut the mustard for more ambitious use.
Earlier I might have given the lens a 4, maybe even a 3, because of my game experience, but since the game I have learned a lot about lenses and I now know that the photos I got were the best I could expect from this f4.0-5.6 lens.
In day time settings, I have consistently gotten clear, sharp shots but have not yet tried shooting kiteboarders, something I enjoy doing. However, my expectation is that I will, because when the game started at 7:30 pm and there was still some daylight as well as the lights, I was able to shoot with a shutter speed of 500 and lower ISO. Based on this, I believe in sunlight that I will get the shutter speed I need. If that does not prove to be true, I will update this review.
I have not tried the lens in low light, but my guess is this is not the best choice for low light either because the lens does not let in enough light.
In summary, for what I do most of the time, this lens is excellent. And I really appreciate the image stabilizer. If I were going to shoot a lot of night football I would start saving for an f2.8 lens, but they are quite expensive. |
| Works very well. Excellent price 2010-08-29 |

| For an image stabilization lens, this is an excellent price. It takes great pictures and the zoom range is good. |
 Good value 2010-08-28 |
| By Orchidist |
| My previous lens (Canon 70-300) lost its auto focus abilities and it would have cost as much to fix it as to purchase this new lens so I decided to buy rather than repair. In addition I now have image stabilization, something I didn't think I needed but am very happy to have. The lens is just a bit lighter than the old one and though other reviewers complain about the plastic mount, I have not had any issues. Picture quality is very good and there is minimal extra draw on the battery when using the image stabilization. For the price I think it was the right thing for this amateur photographer. |

Given to husband for birthday present. Great price and pictures, details look clear and sharp, just what we were hoping to achieve with this zoom lens.
