The Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS STM is a compact telephoto zoom lens offering an 88–400mm equivalent focal length range, making it ideal for photographing distant subjects such as wildlife, sports, and travel scenes. Designed specifically for Canon APS-C-format DSLRs, this lightweight lens balances reach and portability, making it an excellent choice for everyday shooting. Its optical design includes one Ultra-Low Dispersion element that effectively minimizes chromatic aberrations and color fringing to produce sharp, high-contrast images with accurate color rendering. The addition of a Super Spectra coating reduces flare and ghosting, enhancing clarity even under strong lighting conditions. A built-in Optical Image Stabilizer compensates for up to 3.5 stops of camera shake, allowing for sharper handheld images at slower shutter speeds—particularly beneficial for low-light or telephoto work. Autofocus performance is driven by Canon’s STM stepping motor, which delivers fast, smooth, and near-silent operation suited to both still photography and video recording. The rear focus system and advanced AF algorithms ensure quick responsiveness, while full-time manual focus override enables precise adjustments at any time. The rounded seven-blade diaphragm contributes to a smooth, natural bokeh quality that enhances subject separation and background blur. Compact, capable, and highly versatile, the EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS STM is a reliable telephoto option for photographers seeking reach, stability, and optical performance in a portable design.Manufacturer Items Included:Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS STM LensCanon E-58 II Lens CapCanon Lens Dust Cap E (Rear)Bundle Items Include:Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS STM LensShoulder Bag64GB Memory Card

Previously funded in Kickstarter and ranked 2nd in the all-time most funded lens project, this is the world's first consumer-grade probe lens which focuses from 2:1 macro to infinity and with a compelling wide angle 'Bug Eye' perspective. The wide angle design means much greater depth of field at close distances than possible with conventional telephoto macro lens, so more background details can now be seen. The front barrel of the lens is waterproof and an LED ring light is mounted at the tip of the lens. It can cover both standard 35mm full frame & Super35 image sensors and is super lightweight to carry.Canon EF, Nikon F, Sony FE, Pentax K, Arri PL mounts are available. "Cine-mod" version, with standard gear focus and aperture rings, is specifically designed for videography purposes. Includes variable-output Control cable and rugged aluminum carry case.The Laowa 24mm f/14 2X Probe lens is now available for sale. The package includes a white USB cable dimmer (with power adjustment), black USB cable (no power adjustment), lens bag and metal case. Please note that the LED is powered by an external battery (not included in the package). Due to its amazing demand, it may be temporarily in limited supply. We have created a Facebook community for our 24/14 Probe users to share their experience and amazing works.Bug Eye PerspectiveMacro lenses in the market tend to have a long focal length (from 60mm to 120mm) and the subject fills most of the frame, isolating it from the surrounding environment. Our Laowa 24mm, instead, allows you to focus really close - 2 cm (0.8 in.) @ 2:1 to the subject, showing a great amount of detail and texture. But at the same time, you can enjoy a compelling wide angle 'Bug Eye' view (84.1 Degree ) so that more of the background details can be included in the shot. You can easily create a very informative and stunning macro bug-eye perspective that no other lens can do! The fact that it can focus really close to the subject enables a lot of shooting possibilities.2:1 Macro to Infinity FocusAs macro photographers ourselves, we usually face the problem of not being able to shoot smaller subjects. With our Laowa probe, you can now take advantage of the 2:1 maximum magnification to shoot really small bugs and reveal details that cannot be seen with the naked eye. It is particularly useful for videographers since both finer details and environmental backgrounds can be captured in one shot.Deep Depth to FieldThe wide angle design also means much greater depth of field at close distances (compared to the telephoto macro lens) so that more background details can now be seen. Being able to focus so close but still have deep depth of field is a BIG advantage for both studio and wildlife photography.For example, the bug below is around 4 mm (0.15 in.) in size and it was captured by our 24mm f/14 Probe at 2:1 Macro magnification. The greater DOF allows more leaf area to be in focus compared to telephoto lens.The less blurry background allows the habitat of the subject to be included in your photo.Long Tubular Lens BarrelDo not understand this weird design For traditional macro lenses, you need to get really close to your subject in order to take a good macro shot. But some areas are just simply inaccessible. Thanks to the 40 cm (15.7 in.) long barrel, you can focus really close to the subject but still keep yourself and your camera a reasonable distance away. This feature is super useful and makes your macro shooting so much easier. Imagine how convenient it will be to shoot a frog hiding in the bushes using our Probe lens, compared to getting your typical 100mm macro lens super close to it to avoid leaves blocking your subject.Shooting lethal snakes No problem. The long lens barrel also allows us to keep a safe distance away from shooting lethal snakes. Your big camera body and lens will no longer "alert" your subject of your arrival.From a filmmaking perspective, the Tubular Lens barrel also allows shooting a lot of "slide in" shots through tiny areas. Imagine sliding the lens between candles on your birthday cake or sliding the lens inside a drink bottle. Something that no other lens on earth can do. Our opening product showcase shot in the main video also used this technique.Tiny Lens TipGetting proper lighting onto the subject is not always an easy task for macro photography.
