Rating:  - great productThe product came in great timing! It was mailed in the time as promised and came factory sealed. A great buy! Rating: - Great LensCan't afford to buy a $600 lense, so we bought this one and I love it. I do a lot of action photos and it has helped tremendously. Lightweight too, so it doesn't weigh the camera down. Rating: - Works for meI agree with most of the reviews that I have read on this product. It is well worth the money. I don't have a bunch of lenses lying around so I can't compare it to any other lens. For the basic user (like me) here is what I found: 1) the basic lens that comes with the Canon cameras goes up to 55mm. This is not very much but I did notice when using this new lens that we had a hard time zooming out so we could get everything inside a room. I don't know as any lens can do it all but you will want to keep your old lens. 2) if you get a zoom lens, you will want IS. I talked to a couple of friends that went the cheap rout because they didn't know why the IS lens cost so much. They said that unless you are outside on a very sunny day, the non-IS lens is worthless. 3) If your wife wants it for Christmas (like mine) you will score major points with this lens :-) Rating: - new favorite lensI have the rebel xti and currently have the 18-55mm that came with it, and the 50mm f1.8, but I needed a little more focal range. I opted for the 55-250mm with IS not only for the increased focal range but also for the amazing price. Although it is plastic, the lens has a good, sturdy feel. The image stabilization is spectacular and has made photo opportunities that were previously impossible for me a breeze. If you are debating between this and the 70-300 with IS, though I have not used it, I would recommend this. For only 50mm more focal range and the price increase I couldn't see how the 70-300 could be worth it. I am considering eventually getting a 1.4x teleconverter that will bump this lens up to a max 350mm for only around $130, however it will need to be used mainly for outside photography due to its decrease in aperture. Well done, Canon. Rating: - Great LensGreat Image Stabilized lens the 70-300 is like $600 the 55-250 was $280 or less. I love this lens |
