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.

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.

Using a 12mm extension tube with this lens enabled high quality images from 15 metres, using a Canon 200D.

Canons' 55-250mm EF-S zoom lens with image stabiliser. A Nice reasonably compact size zoom lens which complements the Canon 18-55mm lens nicely. Described in some reviews as being light in weight due to its main plastic body I found it felt quite substantial, albeit not as heavy as an all metal...

New to photography. I pick up new hobbies at whim so I didn't want to spend a small fortune on camera accessories immediately but knew I had a need for this type of lens. It is noisy but I'm ok with that. It took a little getting used to but it really seems to read my mind.

The only thing that left me a little upset was that it came in a package full of paper (in order to avoid shaking) but the...

This is a light weight and inexpensive lens which takes very sharp photos at any focal length. Considering the crop factor (1.6) for my Canon T7i camera, it provides an effective telephoto focal length range of 88-400 mm. Excellent! Only downside is that the mount is plastic not metal.

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.
