    I purchased this lens as part of a bundle with my camera and couldn't be happier. We have only used it a few times but the difference in detail versus the standard lens is definitely noticeable. I definitely recommend this lens and the bundle pricing.

    The Canon - EF-S 55-250mm has brought my photography experience to a new level. A very good lens at an affordable price, it's motor is seamless and focus is very sharp. This lens takes excellent pictures, particularly in low light.

    I had another brand camera which doesn't fit this lens, so I had to return this. but as the quality is the major thing which tempted me to buy this item. I should be thankful to customer service team who assisted a smooth process.

    It's great for its ease of use and versatility. I pretty much leave this lens on for every shot. Not great for fat away shots but I am a beginner and may not be using it to its full potential.

    Well, what else can you say for this lens?? It works like a charm and takes fantastic pictures. I use it on my T5i and everything I take looks crisp and clear. I love this lens and I saw this and a 50mm should be in everyone's gear bag.

    Zoom lenses are good for general, fun , point and shoot stuff. I like this one because it covers a range of magnifications. Canon lenses are always good quality and if I have the cash I prefer them to off brand lenses.

    Exactly what I needed to add to my collection. Perfect for taking pics of my kids at their school events...I always seem to get stuck in the back, so this lens works well to get closer shots.

    This came in a bundle with the Rebel T5i, and it's a very nice lens for a beginner, in my opinion. I woud rather have gotten a 70-300mm, but it still allows me to zoom in to the top of Pikes Peak from the middle of Colorado Springs.
