The Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS STM Telephoto Zoom... Lens seems to have excellent build quality even though it is an all plastic lens including the mount. The STM auto focus is very quick and very quiet, I would advise anyone looking for a budget zoom lens to buy this rather than the Canon EF-S 70-300mm f4-5.6 III Telephoto Zoom Lens which has much poorer picture quality and is possibly the worsted lens in the Canon range. .

Great lens, quality for the price is outstanding. I purchased t...his as a fill in til I get the new sigma 70-200. This 55-250 will be great for outdoor portraits at the telephoto end with flash lighting. Fast focus and sharp, great glass in a plastic but firm body. Type of lens you won't be too upset if you broke by accident etc but you'd happily buy it again due to it's performance

Only had this for a few weeks but I really like this lens. It's ve...ry compact but has a really sharp image, reasonable optical stabilisation (difficult to get great stabilisation at this focal length) and a very smooth bokeh when zoomed and under low aperture. The STM focusing is good too but takes some getting used to being fully digital

This lens can give you pin sharp images but you need to be st...eady as the long zoom will exaggerate camera shake. If, like me you got it for sports photography, I recommend you use a monopod for extra stability. The price is amazing for such quality.
