Canon EF S 55 250mm f 4 0 5 6 IS Telephoto Zoom Lens for Canon Digital SLR Cameras

Canon EF S 55 250mm f 4 0 5 6 IS Telephoto Zoom Lens for Canon Digital SLR Cameras

Bring your photographic subjects closer with this Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS Image Stabilizer Telephoto Zoom Lens. It is designed with Canon’s Optical Image Stabilizer technology and is compact and light. This high zoom ratio lens is equivalent to a focal length of 88-400mm in the 35mm format (when used on Canon EOS cameras compatible with EF-S lenses). The image stabilizer effect is equivalent to a shutter speed about 4 stops faster than the same size lens without Image Stabilizer. In other words, if the slowest shutter speed you could formerly hold a 250mm lens steadily was 1/250th of a second, with Canon’s 4-stop stabilization correction, you could hand-hold at shutter speeds as slow as 1/15th of a second. It also uses a UD-glass lens element to correct chromatic aberration for excellent image quality throughout the zoom range. Filter Size – 58mm Max. Diameter – x Length 2.8 in. x 4.3 in./70 x 108mm (maximum lens length) Weight – 13.8 oz./390g Canon 1 year limited warranty

User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Another good addition to my Canon lens collection.
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.

2 Stars unlucky user experience
I bought this lense because I’ve already got the 18-55mm lense when I bought my CANON 450D. When I just got this new lens, I was very excited, but after I put it on, and did some test shots, I was confused. whenever I pressed down the shutter, from the view finder, I first saw a little shake of the lens, then heard the click sound. Then, I tried it a couple of more times, the same thing happened. Then, I took it off and re-installed it again. I thought maybe something didn’t hook up correctly. Unfortunately, still had that little shake when I pressed the shutter. At last, I had to return it to seller. Maybe I’m the only unlucky person? But now, I’m looking for some other lens.

4 Stars Great lens period – especially for the money
I have been using the 55-250 for about 90 days. I didn’t purchase it from Amazon although I wish I had. I could have saved 50 bucks. At the time I got the lens, I didn’t fully understand the importance of “fast lenses” this lens does not qualify as a “fast lens” however, for the money…I consider this my best buy. I have the 18-55, 50mm 1.8, and the 100mm macro….all Canon. The 100mm macro is my favorite, but the 55-250 is right behind it and much more versatile. The range and the IS “image stabilization” are the main good points of the lens. I love the fact you can go form 55-250 as the name of the lens suggests. If I had more money, I would buy a 2.8 lens…something like a 70-200 2.8 IS. However, for a quarter the price, this lens has much to offer. You will need to count on using it outside or in good light. When fully zoomed in to 250mm it’s a little sketchy, but I love the lens and would buy it again today. Don’t even think about getting a non IS lens that has more range but no IS! It’s well worth it. If this lens was a 4.0 steady throughout the range, it would be a great lens. As it is…..it’s nearly great. You just have to watch the lighting. Highly recommended especially for beginners or people on a budget. You will love it!

4 Stars Worked as expected
This lens worked as I expected it too. It is a good product for the money. It does exactly as it is supposed to.

4 Stars quick delivery, hans’t tried out yet
Quick delivery, still havn’t received the camera that was in the same order, therefore hasn’t had a chance to try it out.

Canon EF 50mm f 1 8 II Camera Lens

Canon EF 50mm f 1 8 II Camera Lens

This is the lightest EF lens of all at a mere 4.6 oz. (130g). Compact and high-performance, standard lens. Its Gaussian optics provide sharp delineation from near to far focusing distances. The color balance is excellent for a standard lens.

User Ratings and Reviews

4 Stars You get what you pay for
You get what you pay for and you don’t pay much for this lens, however, what you get for the price is surprising. If you can get past the cheap build quality you’ll be pleased to find that this lens takes excellent quality photos. Shooting wide open (at f/1.8) gives you a wonderful blurred background and it’s easy to achieve your depth of field goals with this little beauty. That said, I do find the auto focus to be a bit temperamental at times and do sometimes miss a shot having to refocus the lens. This wouldn’t have been enough to deter me from the purchase though. For just under a hundred bucks it really is worth any little quirks and it lets you try out the feel of a prime lens without having to fork out the nearly five hundred dollars for the 50mm 1.4.

Overall, very pleased and I think this lens is a steal.

2 Stars Awesome for 2 months, now blurry
I have hardly used this lens and abused it in no way. After 2 months it’s no good to me because I can’t get a sharp picture out of it. The AF is way off. If I manually focus I can come close, but no cigar. All my other lenses are awesome so I know its not the cameras fault.

5 Stars 50mm Lens Surprisingly Great in the Right Situations
I received this lens “stock” when I bought my Canon Rebel xTi (400D) off of a dude on Craigslist. He included a flare guard and a UV filter. At first I had no idea what i was doing with the thing. my initial reaction to a nonzoom lens was THIS IS STUPID WHY DO THEY MAKE SUCH THINGS. I hated that I had to move super far away from my subject matter and that I could get wider shots. As I got used to it, I found out the secret awesome to a no-zoom lens.

-INTENSE depth of field: details get nailed with correct focus

I am very into getting a super focus on my subject, and this lens allows for a huge difference between the subject and everything else. Finding the correct way to focus took a few weeks, but once I figured it out I felt like all my photographs were some sort of brilliant breakthrough. It’s invigorating to have the huge amount of detail from a lower end DSLR. My school had 5Ds for rental, and I feared I would take ages to own that type of hardware after graduating. The quality of shooting is extremely satisfying, as long as you know what you are shooting for. Until you can afford a macro lens, go with this guy.

-capturing live music events can happen

As a band photographer and concert goer, I have played with different types of cameras and (if applicable) lens. The lowlight situations were a biatch when I didn’t have a large flash and didn’t want to distract the performers. This lens rocks at freezing singers in their tracks. Once you find your perch you’re good for the rest of the night. You have to be a little closer than you think you need to be.

I would not use this lens when shooting people in close quarters. you have to get quite a distance away if you want to have anything show up around your subject. It’s a handy lens to have while sightseeing, especially for monuments. If you’re in a museum that allows photography, I would not use it because of needing to be far from the subject — you’d be pretty interrupting to the other museum-goers. The auto-focus can be pretty janky at times which can be a bummer when you want a quick snapshot. Be prepared to do all manual focusing; it creates the best shots with this lens.

This lens is good for a beginner photographer in the land of DSLR because it makes you learn how to use your camera rather than letting you get away with pretending you know what you’re doing.

5 Stars Yipee!
I really struggled with buying this lens for a long time. How could something this inexpensive be any better than the kit quality lenses I already own. Looking at all the sample images and comments finally pushed me over the edge and I am glad they did.

This little gem has been giving me clearer pictures than I have been able to achieve for the most part since getting my XSi camera early December 2009. I am even able to do some very nice quazi macro work until I get a real macro lens, and the bokeh is really beautiful. Taking portrait shots of people, well I just can’t say enough good things about that.

This is going to keep me entertained until I can afford to buy more expensive glass, but hey, I live in California, and work for the state. Can you say ‘furlough’?

Go for it!

5 Stars Great portrait lens
This lens has a decent build quality, sufficient if you plan to hold it in your camera bag. The huge advantages over the zoom lens are:

1) The weight – it weights nothing, very light, especially for entry level DSLRs

2) The price – near one hundred bucks price tag makes it a great deal

3) The low light performance and shallow depth of field – no zoom has 1.8f aperture. You can blur the background much better than with zooms and shoot nice portraits. I compared it, for example with kit lens, which is not even mile close. It still can take pictures without flash when my $1000+ zoom can’t.

Some cons, although nothing critical:

1) The sharpness at f/1.8 is not that great for portraits, but improves significantly at f/2.

2) The lack of image stabilizer makes it difficult to shoot at slow shutter speeds without tripod.

3) The manual focus ring is too narrow, though perfectly usable

4) The lens is 50mm, which is perfect for portraits and people shooting when on full film size sensor, but on cropped sensor, like most of the DSLRs have today, it’s 1.6×50=80mm. With this focus length, it’s difficult to shoot full body portraits inside, there must be enough distance to the object. Outside it is less critical, but still noticeable. When I use the zoom lens, I often set it to about 35mm for full body portrait.

Overall it’s a good buy and great value for money. I recommend it, but not as a single lens.

User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Perfect for a Prosumer
This is my first DSLR, and I am so happy with the purchase. I have wanted a nice camera for years, and I finally had some extra money to make the investment. At $900+, it’s a tad expensive for a casual photographer, but I looked at the purchase as an investment for several years. The image quality is wonderful, and the video is absolutely stunning. Everything in life looks significantly more interesting with this piece of hardware at your side.

5 Stars Awesome Camera…
Wow… Can’t make better decision. I have been in love with this Camera. With 18-55mm and 50mm F1.8 lens it turns out to be the great camera with the price. Video… Wowwww..

5 Stars Canon EOS Rebel T2i 18 MP CMOS APS-C Digital SLR
I just purchased this camera 7-15 and its the best DSLR for the money! I looked at D70 Nikon’s and they couldn’t touch this.

I bought mine at bestbuy because they had it for $899.00 which is a great deal,also bought the camera bag and the 8 gb of sandisk extreme sd card. This camera takes some amazing photos.

1 Star Overpriced, overhyped, review-manipulated crap that will break soon.
It’s a real turnoff when you drop better part of $1000 on a camera and right out of the box it feels like a cheap plastic toy, like something you’d give to your kid. No nice crisp feel to the selector knob, loose actually, not even as good as my old non-digital 35mm (a Chinon, possibly older than me, but it takes great pictures). Plugged in the brand knew 16gb sd card, didn’t feel like it went in right, like sticking the card into playdough, again, shouldn’t be having these kind of doubts “at this price point.” Oh brother. As for the guy who wrote “…The camera is very small and light. It is not weather-sealed or as durable as some of the more expensive SLRs, but it doesn’t “feel cheap” in my opinion…” Well in my opinion, IT DOES FEEL CHEAP and i’m taking it back tomorrow. But to be fair, i’m sure he’s right about it not being weather-sealed.

Update 7/18/2010: Much happier now, got the Pentax K-7 (weather sealed), better feel and very good pictures. Camera body, plus Pentax 18-55 lens lens cost $926.50 plus shipping. All through Amazon. Perhaps Pentax allocates more resource to product quality than marketing and monitoring of reviews.

5 Stars Rival to 7D
I have a friend that has a Canon 7D and yes that thing is a beast, but this isnt about size. Its about pictures. As far as Im concerned and my friend as well, this camera takes just as good pictures as the 7D. And for half the price. Video takes a little getting used to, but WELL worth it. Im a prof. photog. and this was a big upgrade from my XSi. Well worth the price over the 7D.
