I bought this lens a month ago and have used it at a few live events, very impressed with the results, even without a tripod. The auto-focus is quiet too. Great lens.

We used this lens to take pictures on a recent trip to Israel and it did not disappoint! Easy to use and spot on focus this lens takes fantastic pictures.

I purchased this used on Ebay for 138.00. I have used the ISII version of this lens. While I was impressed with that lens I must say this one is even sharper. I purchased this STM model to complement the kit 18-55stm that came with my SL1.

sharp; silent and built solid

Really nothing so far

Built solely for Canon APS-C DSLRs, the 55-250mm offers a 35mm equivalent focal length of 88-400mm. While this is a highly versatile telephoto zoom range, other lenses in our round-up can zoom in over twice as tight.

This is a great little addition to my kit - it has a really positive zoom - doesn't slip when camera is tilted - it produces good sharp images with great colour reproduction. Lightweight too so easy to carry with me.

Sharp; fast to focus; minimal chromatic aberration; good zoom range; image stabilisation very effective

Nothing so far

The camera is of good quality and take super quality photos. It is very easy to use and adopt very good with the weather conditions where you use it.

I've brought this to match my Nikon lens, and this one is so much better, My review is this is cheaper then the other companies out there.

The information stated that if used with an eos cannon the zoom would be 85 t0 400mm and it is not I should have gottin the 75 to 350 for a $150.00 half the price and better zoom.

Great for shooting sports and anything a bit further away. Even if the subject still looks far away once the pic has been taken, you can zoom and crop still with immaculate detail.
