    I wish I purchased a 400mm instead for the moon shots I wanted. But this lens was ok for what I needed.

    This is an amazing lens for the money. Images are crisp and the lens is a dream to use with autofocus and IS. Can't beat this value!

    Not Satisfied

    Not impressed. I recently purchased the Canon EF-S 55-250mm F4-5.6 IS STM Telephoto Zoom Lens for my EOS DSLR and have been disappointed with its quality. I was under the impression that it featured an automatic zoom adjustment, but it does not. Additionally, the lens slides back and forth too loosely, which affects its usability and overall performance. For the price I paid, I expected much better quality and functionality. Unfortunately, it did not meet my expectations.

    Great lens to focus on smaller objects, they aren't wide so it's not meant for landscape.

    Not horrible for a low level canon lens. L glass is amazing and after shooting it my expectations are pretty high. This isn't bad for the price range though.

    My suggestion...save for a 85mm....or get a 50. I did get some amazing family sessions with this lens but save the $300 and put it to a prime.
