Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS STM Lens Review

Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS STM Verdict

As this lens is intended as a budget option, it is quite surprising to see just how well it performs. Sharpness is outstanding in the centre of the frame for much of the zoom range, which is how you might expect much more expensive lenses to perform.

However, as this predecessor of this lens is still available, and as the STM focusing motor isn't quite a revelation in terms of performance or usability, one may do well to look at snapping up the older version for now, while the price gap is so large.
