Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4.0-5.6 IS Telephoto Zoom Lens for Canon Digital SLR Cameras
Customer Review: No regrets
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this lens to go with the 18-55 kit lens on my 40D and I have used it for sports and some portraits and I must say I'm impressed, my daughters play outdoor field hockey so having the range from 55mm to 250mm is great, the pictures are very sharp and I can't complain about the saturation or contrast, when used for portraits the bokeh is very nice, all this from a $255.00 lens? Like I said ....No Regrets!
P.S. You will need to buy the Precision Design ET-60 lens hood for $12.95
Customer Review: I love my lens
Summary: 5 Stars
So, this is my only telephoto lens, so I can't really compare to others. I do own 2 different types of lenses, & I find myself going right back to this one. I think for the price, quality, & features it has won't disappoint you. I have some great shots with this lens & I'm always so happy using it. I'm an amateur photographer on a budget & this lens is perfect for me right now. If I could've afforded the extra 50mm for a longer range, I would've, but I'm still in love with what I have.Customer Review: Fantastic telephoto lens for the amateur!

Photography is basically a hobby for me. I shoot a lot of outdoor sports photos for an online publication. This lens is serving me well so far. If you like the Canon 18-55 IS lens, then you will like this as well. The lenses complement each other nicely. For the price, you can't beat this lens.
If you are an amateur photographer on a budget, this is perfect for you. Professionals will find little flaws and nit-pick, but an amateur won't even notice those things.
Customer Review: Another good addition to my Canon lens collection.
Summary: 5 Stars
I have used Canon products exclusively since my first purchase in 1960, with countless Canon cameras since my first Canon FT SLR. I did not think that a zoom lens in this price range could be as good as this 55-250 mm is proving to be. I would certainly recommend this lens to any Canon user who wishes to try this zoom range and is budget minded. After doing much research concerning lens tests, etc, before my purchase, I must say that it is exceeding my expectations already.Customer Review: Great Lens, Great price
Summary: 5 Stars
After reading numerous reviews on this lens and several others I decided on this one. So far it has been just what I want. The zoom is perfect for getting the shots that you can't get with standard lenses. Many complain about the plastic mount ring, but I have had no problem with this. The zoom is not loud and it is still very quick. I haven't missed a shot due to slow zoom or focus speeds of the lens. So far I have nothing to complain about. Great lens, great price!!
