Customer Ratings & Reviews

upon purchasing this lens, i forgot to make sure it had image stabilization (which upon further research is a much much more expensive option) so ended up using my 55-250mm kit lens more often. for the price though, you get solid zoom, and a good quality product that takes clear pictures if you can hold the camera extremely still.

It brought our grand-daughter's graduation up close to us, even though our seats were in the nose-bleed section. We were able to follow her with the entrance, when she sang in the choir and received her diploma. It really made our experience special for us.

Great lens for beginners, great zoom, great output

I bought this lens and took it for a shoot at our local zoo. The long focal length allowed me to get great shots of birds in trees, etc. For the price, it's an excellent zoom lens. I wish it was a little faster (i.e.: f/1.8) but overall, a great lens!

best lense for all types of sports, easy to manage.

I bought the lens to take pictures of my son's sports events. I am extremely happy. Great clear pictures from a distances.

I am impressed with the lens and its worth the money ... I have a few of my friends who got me hooked into photography with their posted shots. I hope to get to try this thing out to get a better understanding of the lens full capabilities.

Bought this to compliment my other short lens. It works great for distant shooting only. Had seats for my son's competition further back from stage and was able to capture him easily from the distance I was at.

very good lens, easy to use, good for beginner or pro, cost not too bad. but do recommend getting extended warranty , it don't cost too much.

This lens is amazing. It takes professional quality images of mountains and oceans. Im so happy to have found the perfect telephoto lens to take my photography to the next level. Its a must have for those who love capturing nature.

The lens seems to be of great quality with no glaring problems, as long as you set up with a tripod for better stabilization. Cannot complain for the price, quite happy with my purchase!

This was part of a bundle deal with our camera purchase and it has been put to good use. Worked amazing for daughters musical and we were able to take pictures of her on stage with great clarity from quite a few rows back!

I wanted a lense that could provide tight close-up shots and this zoom lense zooms!!! I am very happy with my purchase!!! I would also reccomend Best Buy products and special cash rewards program to my family and friends!!!

Works well enough for a good zoom lens for not a very expensive price. If I could afford the anti shake/auto stabilizer lens, I probably would have gone with that, but it is more than twice the cost of this one (plus some...) . This one works well enough for the cost.

Great addition to my T6i Rebel. Purchased to shoot sports.

Lens works great. It requires a decent bit of light when zoomed in, but works great outdoors or in decently lit rooms. Great value given the price point.

Matched my price I found online and shipped it to me for free. I love the lens and happy I purchased it. Can't shoot in close range (living room photos) but excellent long range which is why I bought it in the first place!

Very good zoom lens with image stabilization I can take handheld images of the moon and they come out great I've taken photos of flying birds as well and they've came out great.

The images come out crisp and clean, but the image stabilization would have been a big plus for the lens. Other than that, the pictures come out fine when taken correctly. Although having a tripod is probably best recommended if you don't necessarily have a steady hand.

After buying it and got home and it was broke called and best buy ordered me a new replacement. Great lens. Takes great shots. Took some of the sun and wouldn't trade this lens for anything
