EF-S 55-250mm image stabilizer lens

760301548

Get Canon's Image Stabilizer technology in a compact and light lens with this EF-S 55-250mm lens. This high zoom ratio lens is equivalent to a focal length of 88-400mm in the 35mm format (when used on Canon EOS cameras compatible with EF-S lenses). The maximum aperture is F/4-5.6, although the Image Stabilizer makes up for about 4 stops.

For use on Canon EOS cameras compatible with EF-S lenses.

A magical looking glass

This telephoto zoom lens is designed with Canon's Optical Image Stabilizer technology while retaining compactness and lightness, in response to demands of photographers. This high zoom ratio lens is equivalent to a focal length of 88-400mm in the 35mm format (when used on Canon EOS cameras compatible with EF-S lenses), and the image stabilizer effect equivalent to a shutter speed about 4 stops faster than the same size lens without Image Stabilizer. In other words, if the slowest shutter speed you could formerly hold a 250mm lens steadily was 1/250th of a second, with Canon's 4-stop stabilization correction, you could hand-hold at shutter speeds as slow as 1/15th of a second. It also uses a UD-glass lens element to correct chromatic aberration for excellent image quality throughout the zoom range. This new EF-S telephoto lens with great features delivers excellent performance at an affordable price for all photographers.

this was a great addition to my recent purchase of the canon EOS camera i recently bought, I did my research before buying it, but it has worked wonders when using it, you just need to read up and understand when and when not to use this lense, because if you use it for the wrong type of picture the picture will turn out bad, so do your research before you buy and see if you will be taking lots of pictures that you would need the stabilizer lens, cuz if you dont need it I wouldnt buy it, because it is quite expensive for one lense.
