About this product
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
