“A Must-Have Telephoto Lens: Outstanding Quality f
The Canon EF-S 55–250mm has been one of the most impressive and budget-friendly telephoto lenses I’ve used. Despite its lightweight and compact build, it delivers excellent image quality—photos come out sharp, with pleasing color and contrast. The STM autofocus is fast, smooth, and nearly silent, making it a great choice for both photography and video.

Great lens
I love this lens! For those who are looking for telephoto lens, the EF-S 55-250 is an excellent choice. The motors are quiet which is really great when recording video. During the lockdown, I bought this (they even brought it to the car for contactless delivery) to have. As soon as I put it on my Canon 77D I was amazed. Its very comfortable and well balanced when attached to the camera. I even took some great close up pics of the flowers while on our walks.
