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

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Not a bad product, quite normal quality.

In addition to the whale lens, I also purchased the following. It is impossible to purchase another telephoto lens equipped with a stabilizer for this amount of money, but a stabilizer is required, particularly at the long end of the zoom range. I am quite pleased with the outcome. In terms of its operational capabilities, I would point out the following: 1. Landscapes do not come out very well because the focal length needed for them is quite long, and the distortion at the near end of the zoom range can be seen. 2. Pleasant portraits are completed successfully (acquaintances, at least, are asked to take a picture). 3. You can't use it as a macro lens because the magnification isn't high enough for that purpose. 4. If you want to photograph birds, you will need to switch to continuous shooting because autofocus is a slow process. In general, I advise individuals who have invested in Canon 450D or Canon 500D cameras to consider purchasing the lens. That will significantly broaden the creative possibilities available to you.

Pros
  • The price to quality ratio is, of course, the most important factor to consider. You will also obtain coverage of all focal lengths when you use this accessory in conjunction with an amateur series kit lens, such as the one included with the Canon 500D. Even while using a slow shutter speed, you will be able to shoot images thanks to the presence of a four-stage image stabilizer. Because of its diminutive size and low weight, it is easy to transport and keep with you at all times.
Cons
  • Significant chromatic aberration present. Stabilizer that creates a lot of noise and a tiny aperture combine to make shooting indoors nearly difficult. By using short focal lengths (up to 70 mm), considerable distortion will occur. Polarizing filter enthusiasts will be dissatisfied to learn that the front lens can be adjusted.

The lens is not bad much faster than 18-55 For landscapes and long distances, this is a chic lens.
