Canon telephoto zoom lens EF-S 55-250mm 1: 4-5.6 IS STM (58mm filter thread) black (accessories)

Customer Review

I have long wondered what Telezoom it should be. At first I thought of the "Tamron AF 70-300mm 4-5.6 Di VC USD SP", until I at the shop had the objective in hand. Not that would be processing bad, far from it, but to my EOS 100D, it's a pretty big chunk.

Then when I saw the STM 55-250, informed me more about it and had finally angetestet, for me it was the only sensible option in conjunction with a Crop-DSLR. The EOS 100D I own mainly for the reason that I do not have much to drag my photo stuff can take to save space on the tour and that I must lose no quality only due to lower transport size. And I do not need at this lens also.

It makes use of the processing a very solid impression. Nothing is loose, not crunches, is too heavy or too light. The AF is a delight as with other STM lenses. It works very quickly and quietly, and even almost silently.

The image quality is for this price really top! I could already picture taken quite a lot of different motives. The images are already really sharp for a telephoto zoom at this price point. The stabilization works wonderfully and you can still make decent pictures even at 250mm focal length, a steady hand assuming quite at 1/20. I will not write about line pairs, or CAs vignetting now. There are plenty of tests to the lens. What I can say is that you should load the correction data on the EOS Utility, because if one is working with JPEG.

That the lens has a Kunstoffbajonett has not yet bothered me. If that comes at the end of production Savings on the image quality on top, I can no less than live with it. I am not a professional, but do not like to buy them twice. Surely I will with this lens long have my joy. For me there is currently no alternative to a compact telephoto zoom.

I do not see how I could scrape together a star deduction, therefore, there is of me 5!
