Very nice lens at a good price

I like it a lot. Has quick auto-focus, and you can use manual focus even when in auto-focus setting. Has no fringing. Has tack-sharp clarity of optics, so I can crop things shot at 250 mm and they look better than uncropped shots did with my old 300 mm lens from a different manufacturer.

Fantastic Upgrade From Older Kit Lenses

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.

Replacement for failed original . . .

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.

Nice lens for the money

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.

Ultimate travel lens

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.

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

Excellent lens to use while saving for L glass

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.

Overall a very capable lens with a quirk

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.

I love this lens!

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!

Great mid-range 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.

Best Telephoto Zoom for Travel

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.

I put this lens on a Canon Rebal T5 and got fantastic pictures in an auditorium several rows back and to the side. It was a pageant and the lights were turned down low. great pictures , clear and focused.

I'm so impressed with this lens. I have no desire to pack around the "White Beast" if I don’t need to. I purchases this lens for wildlife photography on my Rebel SL1. What a pair! The 88-400mm equivalent focal length range is so useful. This lens is truly an anomaly for the price. Technical reviews tell the story far better then I can. L grade edge to edge sharpness and color/contrast on sub-frame across the focal length range in a beautifully compact and discrete package. Even distortion is ...
