This objective 55-250 IS II is really efficient compared to its price. Mounted on a Canon 600D gives excellent pictures in outstanding sharpness and perfectly complements the objective of the 18-55 IS II kit. Stabilization is really bluffing and allows to use the same telephoto lens in low light. Its weight and size allows content to consider no problem slipping it into his camera bag for rado day. On an APS-C sensor it gives the equivalent of a 400 mm on a 24 * 36 and therefore allows to learn about a very sweet price to sports and wildlife photography. Sure there's better there but at what cost! I highly recommend!
