The EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS STM telephoto zoom lens offers high magnification in a compact and lightweight EF-S telephoto zoom lens with an optical image stabilizer for up to 3.5 equivalent stops for shake correction. The lens' stepping motor and newly-designed focus mechanism support Canon EOS Movie Servo AF to provide smooth and quiet continuous autofocusing during video shooting, as well as when shooting photos.
The EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS STM telephoto zoom lens features one UD lens element, reducing chromatic aberration throughout the zoom range for excellent image quality with high resolution and contrast. It features enhanced lens coatings to help ensure superb color balance while minimizing ghosting and flare and a 7-blade circular aperture creates beautiful, soft backgrounds. For outstanding performance, a new compact six-group zoom system provides a maximum magnification of 0.29x at the telephoto end. Full-time manual focus is available in AF mode. The front element does not rotate during focus, which is beneficial when using polarizing filters. Minimum focusing distance is 2.79 ft. /0.85m. The lens' rear focusing system, high-speed CPU and improved AF algorithm allow for high-speed autofocusing.

Rated 5 out of 5 bytomdock from Great lensLightweight and pretty easy to use. simple to carry. Not one of those monster lens. The 55mm to 250mm is really nice. I do mainly landscape photos so it suits my needs as a one in all lens. AF works fine but may struggle, of course, if your shooting a thin bridge 7 miles away or thin tree branches. I don't have much to compare it with but I'm glad I got this instead of a bulky one.

Rated 5 out of 5 byOhio78 from This is a sharp lensI heard this lens was good but didn't realize how good until I got out to our local zoo to test it out. When you hear about this lens being sharp, it's not an exaggeration. For the price this lens is amazingly sharp, the only way you're going to get a sharper image is with an L lens. The STM is dead quiet, as is the image stabilization. Honestly a great lens for the price (and mint condition refurbished you really can't beat it. I came from a 300mm and I don't miss the extra 50mm at all.

Rated 5 out of 5 byTanman from A bit dissapointedThe lens came as part of a package deal from Costco when I purchased the Canon 70D. At first I thought something was wrong with the lens when I took pictures at 250mm. The pictures were blurry and super low quality. I have other lenses that are amazing on this camera so I knew it wasn't the camera. I tested the pictures in various settings such as RAW and .jpg, fully auto mode and several manual modes. Every time the pictures were useless. I took the lens back got a new one and same problem. I took the camera lens and the camera to a camera store to test other camera bodies and still same problem. I guess the lens is ok if you don't zoom in past 120mm but anything more than that is just awful.Side note: the 70D is awesome, especially when paired with the inexpensive 50mm 1.8 prime lens.

Rated 5 out of 5 byCWhitePhotos from Great lens...I bought this lens used and I am generally happy with it. Comparing it the other lenses that I bought for my 7D new, this one has softer picture quality, especially at the ends, lower and upper boundaries. Admittedly, I am relatively new to DSLRs, not photography, so it may be something that I am not doing correctly.Nonetheless, I am quite satisfied with my purchase.
