I purchased the EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS STM as a direct replacement of an EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III kit lens that I'd had from an older camera. It's a great upgrade due to it's shorter focal length on my T8i (APS-C sensor), image stabilization, and faster autofocus. My primary usage is kids sporting events, which it excels at. If you're looking to upgrade from an older kit lens or add to your collection of available lenses, this is a fantastic option that should be on everyone's short list.

Fantastic Upgrade From Older Kit Lenses

Focus ring did not work right out of the box.  So sad.

Focus ring did not work

Great lens

Great Lens! I'm an amateur photographer and best described as a street photographer.  This lens provides me the flexibility of taking a variety of shots without having to change lenses.

Great Lens

I bought this refurbished but it looks like new! Outstanding results with it so far. Exceeded my expectations.

Great quality lens!

Perfect mid range zoom lens for the average photographer like myself.

Zoom lens

Original purchased back in 2016 and has been used frequently as an avid amateur photographer. Sensor failed and repair center deemed unrepairable and recycled. This was the same lens as a replacement.

Replacement for failed original . . .

Great lens.  Compact, sharp, great range of focal lengths.

Telephoto zoom

Works perfectly and it's a great lens. Easy to use.

Great lens!

I bought my sometime ago and have been pleased with the results. One off the things I like, and convinced to buy it is the f 4-5.6 speed. It?s a must on my RP.

Nice lens for the money

If you have a Canon EF/EF-S mount product, you cannot find any better telephoto lens for travel. Look no further and get one of these. For just 13.23 oz or 375g with pack of latest technology, merely $300 is the bargain of the century. Unlike other Canon telephoto lens, stealth capability is at its best. I took many winning images among those professionals who proudly own big "white" lens with a "red" stripe. I am so happy to own this, and, as a matter of fact, this is the second copy in case the first one is worn out in the near future.

Ultimate travel lens

Will this lens work on the Rebel T7? How well does this lens take action shots and how close range does it get?

Action shots- Sports

I am so happy I purchase this lens! My photos are amazing. It is lightweight and highly recommend.

Beautiful photos!

I bought the lense a couple of years ago to go along with my Canon 80D

Great lense for the Money

Nice lens that seems quite easy to use for a beginner photographer.

Canon zoom lens

Amazing lens! Great for distance shots as well as close ups. I usually keep this lens on by default. The auto focus and image stabilization is phenomenal as well!

Great all around lens!

I purchased this through the used department here at Adorama. I love this lens! I tested it at a local small zoo and it did not fail me. It is super quiet, as a matter of fact I don?t hear it at all focusing. The IS comes in handy as some of the time I was shooting at 250mm at 60/s hand held and it nailed it.  If you are looking for a versatile telephoto then this fits the bill.

Excellent lens to use while saving for L glass

This lens has been great, has a good range of zoom and is very quick focusing. The one drawback is the way the lens focuses, being an stm the camera needs to be awake with manual focus or awake while holding the shutter halfway if you want to manually focus or refocus, which isn't a horrible thing but for someone like me who likes to quickly compose shots without having the camera on or while the camera is sleeping means I have to take extra steps to get the camera on even if I don't intend to  always take a picture, which means it uses more battery power.  Being an STM lens though does mean it can take good video while autofocusing quietly without that jittery sound you get on standard lenses.

Overall a very capable lens with a quirk

Good lense, crisp. A welcomed addition to my bag for distance purposes.

Good stuff

Amazing! The photos I?ve taken so far have been clean, crisp and beautiful. I?m extremely happy with the lenses.

Great Purchase

I’ve had this lens for about two years now, being my only lens for now as I am a hobbyist with my Canon 77D (previously working with a Canon 50D. But I love the two together. If you love portraits and wildlife, then you’ll love this lens! Very sharp, and super versatile. If you’re taking portraits however, be prepared to stand back quite a bit if you’re looking for a blurred background lol. But otherwise, absolutely amazing. I also suggest adding a lens hood for a greater depth in color. Highly recommend!

I love this lens!

I was looking for a lens to fill the gap between my 135 and my 400, and this is a great solution. The lens is light, fits easily in my 'grab and go' bag, and I've been very happy with the images I've gotten.

Great mid-range lens

Good

For the price you can't beat it picture quality is great not professional but still great and I would recommend this all day long.

Great

Super happy with this lens. I am a beginner and it’s working so nicely. Getting some great wildlife closeups!

Great wildlife closeups

I really like this lens. It is so quiet I actually thought it wasn't focusing. Also very light.

Canon EF-S 55-250mm

Purchased this EF-250mm lens to go with new EOS Rebel SL3

Like new only better price

Light, great zoom range, excellent IQ at all focal lengths, and economical. I had the 70-300 IS II, but chose to sell it in favor of the 55-250 because of the factors I listed.

Best Telephoto Zoom for Travel

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.

Great purchase

Great lens and a great price when we bought it with our EOS Rebel T7v
