Review on Canon EF-S 55-250mm F4-5.6 IS STM Lens Review & Best Deals for Canon SLR Cameras by Abhey Bar ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Feel free to buy, for such a price, the quality is simply amazing.

A very small and light telephoto that never discourages the desire to carry it with you. Before that, there was another telephoto lens from the 70-300 class, and so that one was a healthy and heavy monster, which you quickly got tired of carrying with you. In terms of the totality of its advantages, to be honest, I don’t see any alternative to this lens, it’s a great workhorse and in general it makes no sense to look for any other lens of a similar range of focal lengths for crop. I noticed this feature on some telephoto lenses (including this one) - they can soap at maximum focal lengths if they use a protective filter, so for this lens I recommend not to wear it and use a lens hood to protect the lens.

Pros
  • 1) Surprisingly good sharpness throughout the zoom range. 2) The weight and dimensions are so small that it's hard to believe that this is a telephoto. 3) Good bokeh. 4) There is a stabilizer, a necessary thing for telephoto lenses. 5) The price-quality ratio is beyond praise.
Cons
  • 1) Not suitable for ff camera. 2) A retractable trunk, there is no dust and moisture protection, but it’s ridiculous to talk about this for an amateur class of lenses, in general there is nothing to seriously complain about.
