Canon EF-S 55-250mm f4-5.6 IS STM

€359.99

Every time we have a beginner Canon shooter looking for more zoom, looking to get photos of subjects that are further away, the Canon EF-S 55-250mm is our recommendation.

The build quality is entry-level (plastic mount vs. metal on the higher-end siblings) and the auto-focus isn’t as zippy, but you will be astonished by the image quality (don’t tell the enthusiasts spending more, they won’t like it 🙂

Highly recommended for anybody using Canon APS-C cameras whether DSLRs or mirrorless with the optional adapter.

Key Features
Specifications

Lightweight telephoto zoom is easy to carry around in addition to your standard kit lens when you want to capture subject that are far away.
Get a Full-Frame equivalent focal range of 90-400mm, making this a good lens for compressing landscapes (like making mountains more imposing, making the moon stand out of your scenes).
Good lens for wildlife that doesn’t mind you getting closer (birds, squirrels, etc..)
Image stabilisation works with a handy automatic panning detection, for when you are capturing high-paced subject in movement such as birds, athletes and motorsports for when you want to convey a sense of speed with blurred backgrounds.
Excellent optics and coatings help you capture sharp images in any lighting and the 7 blade aperture will produce a soft blur around your subject when used wide-open.
A minimum focus distance of 0.85m, while not macro, will let you get quite close to fill the frame with your subject.
