    This is not a high end lense. It is good for the price point. Zoom is quiet, stabilization is great, has caught some great action shots. Worth the money.

    I'm very "focused' on quality, looked at all the top Brands but this lens 55-250mm is the key item you need in your Canon bag. This is the core lens for all of us and will always be !.

    I purchased this as a used piece and the quality assurance I received and the expert advice from the photography staff was fantastic. I was worried about the purchase and the employee opened up the box and verified its condition in front of me. It was extremely nicer

    The Kindle Paperwhite is a great little reader. Sturdy, lightweight, bright screen for reading in bed without the need for other lighting and good battery life.. I haven't had it very long but so I gave it 4 stars (just in case). But as of now I have nothing bad to say about it. Good purchase.

    The crispness of the photos far exceed that of the Tamron 70 - 300. I am very pleased with it. Having an EFS mount there aren't many choices but I am pleased with this.
