About this product

Product Information

The Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS STM Lens is a long-reaching zoom lens that provides a 35mm-equivalent focal length range of 88-400mm, covering portrait-length to telephoto perspectives to suit working with distant subject matter. Greatly benefitting this lens' reach is the incorporation of image stabilization, which works to minimize the appearance of camera shake by up to 3.5 shutter speed steps to support handheld use in low-light conditions. An STM stepping focus motor is also integrated into the lens' design to provide smooth, quiet, and fast focusing performance that is ideally-suited to video applications as well as tracking moving subjects. The rear focusing system, high-speed CPU, and an enhanced AF algorithm also contribute to quickened overall AF speeds. Full-time manual focus is also supported to permit fine-tuning of focus even while working in AF modes. Additionally, the front lens section does not rotate during focusing to better facilitate the use of polarizing filters.

  • An Excellent lens - especially at this price...!

    On an APS-C camera (those designed for EF-S lenses) - a 55-250mm zoom lens is equivalent to a focal length of 88-400mm with a full frame 35mm camera. On bright days, you have therefore with this lens a lightweight portable zoom with quite some reach when using the cameras for which it was designed. A 400mm lens with Image Stabilisiation would cost the "Earth" yet this lens has it The stabilising is quiet - and it works great. Auto focusng is also very quiet and very quick. Manually focusing - well, that works too, but it is seldom required; but for specific applications. All in all - simply fantastic.

  • EF-S 55-250

    I can’t say if it’s durable because I’ve only had it a couple of weeks, however it is pin sharp and light. This lens is in great condition and has given great results in the field, it it quick to focus and quiet, nice and light and is a perfect addition to my kit

  • Impressive Image Stabilization

    I was concerned that the lens would not be very sharp having read a comparison web site. However, I wasn't prepared to pay for an L-series lens which it gave a higher rating to. It produces images sharp enough for my use and. I have been impressed with the Image Stabilization - which cuts down blur from camera shake. I would recommend this lens to all but professional photographers.

  • EFS 55-250 STM

    Excellent image quality, equal to an L class lens in real world use. Not as durable but very decent...not too plasticky or loosely held together Focussing not as fast as an L 99% sure anyone would be happy with it

  • Worth the price

    I love this lens. The images are nice and clear and with the STM motor you hear nothing when focusing! Great value for money if you can't afford an "L" Lens.

  • Excellent amateur gear

    No bad things to say. It took less than 2 weeks to ship to Finland which is great. Citiwide replied fairly quickly to my enquiries during the process too. Lens was shipped in a blank white box. It works perfectly - to be honest I was a bit concerned because of the cheap price but there is no reason for that, at all! All was well and the lens is just perfect for the price! Very good value!

  • Excellent alternative to EF-M IS equivalent

    I bought this to go with my newly purchased Canon M-100 (via an EF-S - EF-M adaptor). It's a rapid, smooth lens with good glass, and lightweight. Although not styled to match the camera, it's lower cost and equal or better in performance. Excellent value, with the unexpected bonus of a filter and lens cleaner kit.

  • Great lens

    Great value telephoto lens. Very quiet, accurate and fast focus. Very solid feel considering all plastic lens and mount. Just need to upgrade the camera to match the quality of lens
