    This is the perfect lens for events where you are not front row! It works perfectly with my EOS Rebel. It's quiet and love the auto focus features.

    We went to the beach after getting this lens and were amazed with the clarity and details captured with this lens. We were able to get close up pictures of the kids in the waves as if we were right next to them.

    The zooming on this is completely silent and therefore a great choice when taking video. A non-STM lens would be noisy enough to be picked up by the internal mic. Totally worth the extra cost.

    Great lens for sitting in the stands for a Disney on ice performance. Even though we were up in the stands, I had so many great close up shots of the performers. Well worth the money!!!

    This lens came with the canon bundle I purchased for my teen aged son for Christmas. The kids call it the "creeper lens" perfect for long distance shots!

    Excellent choice for a reasonable price. This 55-250mm STM zoom gives me sharp images that I wasn't getting with my previous lens (Canon 75-300mm USM zoom). The autofocus was much faster and more precise.

    I did a ton of research before purchasing, and I was not disappointed. Clean shots even at full zoom. However I would recommend the use of a tripod if shooting for an extended period. Very satisfied.

    Thus lens is a must if you want close up shots. Use it for eagles flying, birds, and sporting events. Has a built-in stablizer which I wanted.

    This lens has a great range of capture. Going up to 250 mm, I used this to take pictures of people running in a race, and was able to capture good pictures while the racers were far away, and close.
