Quiet and nimble STM autofocus stepper motor. Effective image stabilizer. A light weight.
Plastic bayonet mount.

Canon EF-S 55-250mm formally (and not without reason) refers to telephoto lenses, but the range of focal lengths of 55-250mm makes it quite versatile — up to medium-focus shooting. Nevertheless, the lens is well optimized for long distances — it has a built-in image stabilizer. The optics are mounted on a Canon EF-S mount, the standard matrix type is APS-C. Autofocus drive — from a classic motor.

Video reviews

Canon's entry-level APS-C DSLRs often come with a Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM kit zoom lens. A powerful addition to it will be a telephoto lens with a focal length range of 55-250 mm for photography at a distance from the shooting object.

Weightless telephoto

As for the telephoto class, the Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS STM is very light (only 375g) due to the model's plastic construction. Not only the body of the lens is made of plastic, but also the bayonet mount, so you need to be careful when changing lenses frequently. Otherwise, the risk of accidentally damaging the place where the lens is attached to the “carcass” of the camera increases.

floating aperture

The Canon telephoto produces a soft and plastic picture with excellent sharpness across the entire field of the frame, starting from the open apertures. Its largest value floats from f/4.0 at the short end to f/5.6 at its closest. As compensation for not the most outstanding aperture, the lens got an optical stub at its disposal, which helps to win up to 4 stops in shutter speed.

STM drive

The model is proud of the quiet and fast STM autofocus stepper drive. It especially helps out when shooting video, because there are no extraneous sounds in the process of focus in the "insides" of the lens. By the way, when focus, all elements of the optical scheme move inside the telephoto design, and in size it changes only when zooming — a change in focal length upwards is accompanied by the appearance of a sickly “trunk”.

Democratic value

This model has an equivalent focal length of 88-400mm, and its closest full-frame cousin is Canon's powerful pro tool EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L II USM. However for its cost you can buy a good dozen 55-250 mm telephoto lenses — anyway, the democratic price tag belongs to the category of the main advantages of a crop lens.
