Product Description

A telephoto zoom lens designed with Canon s Optical Image Stabilizer technology, the Canon EF-S 55-250mm f 4-5.6 IS Lens is designed to be compact and light, in response to the exacting demands of photographers. The high zoom capability of this lens is equivalent to a focal length of 88-400mm in the 35mm format (when used on Canon EOS cameras compatible with EF-S lenses), and the image stabilizer effect equivalent to a shutter speed about 4 stops faster than the same size lens without Image Stabilizer.

In other words, if the slowest shutter speed you could formerly hold a 250mm lens steadily was 1 250th of a second, with Canon s 4-stop stabilization correction, you could hand-hold at shutter speeds as slow as 1 15th of a second. It also uses a UD-glass lens element to correct chromatic aberration for excellent image quality throughout the zoom range. This new EF-S telephoto lens with great features delivers excellent performance at an affordable price for photographers from amateurs to pros.
