Review on Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS Telephoto Zoom πŸ“· Lens - International Version: Exceptional Image Stability & No Warranty by Kenta Kawano ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I was surprised by the quality for this price.

the lens as a whole is excellent for its money, sigma 70-300 is soap compared to it, 70-200 is 3 times more expensive, and the functionality is narrower. I advise! With its pros. - price quality - 5x zoom, isn't that an advantage? - I have never noticed chromaticity for several months of use, it greatly outperforms the whale in this regard - the stub is excellent. at the long end (250mm) without a stub, I could only take clear pictures with a shutter speed of 1/250 * 1.6 = 1/400. with a stub, in practice, clear pictures are obtained at 1/6 - these are six stops, only 4 are declared in the canon specification, modest ones \u003d) - tolerable bokeh - and the stub and autofocus are very quiet, almost silent. usm Cons below: - sharpness is not portrait, of course, which cannot be expected from a zoom lens - no lens hood included (traditionally) - drew attention to such a feature: if you focus autofocus on some object by 55mm, and then zoom in (250mm), then it will not be sharp, so you have to zoom in, press the shutter button halfway, move away, build a frame and only then press completely - specifically my copy at 250mm and MDF gives front focus - frank soap at the edges, 18-55 wins in this sense

Some pros: 1 good picture (compared to whale) 2 value for money above average 3 in good light, few misses 4 small HA 5 lightweight, comfortable. 6 great stub! (see my photos) Some cons: 1 no hood! 2 there is no width, and aperture . (there are other glasses for this, you can’t assemble everything at an affordable price in one box)

Some pros: as the first telephoto - was perfect. What is dark? I don’t know, I shot constantly in good weather - I was always satisfied. Cons: a bit dark . if you shoot at dusk. A little flimsy.
