Suitable for distant subject matter, the Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS STM Lensis an 88-400mm-equivalent zoom for Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS STM LensAPS-C DSLRs. This lens's long reach is enhanced by the inclusion of an Ultra-Low Dispersion element, which helps to greatly reduce color fringing and chromatic aberrations for greater clarity and color accuracy throughout the zoom range. A Super Spectra coating is also featured, and minimizes flare and ghosting in order to produce greater contrast when working in bright lighting conditions. Benefitting both photo and video applications, an STM stepping AF motor is used to realize quick and near-silent autofocus performance along with full-time manual focus override. Additionally, a four-stop-effective Image Stabilizer system is also featured and minimizes the appearance of camera shake for sharper handheld shooting.

EF-S Mount Lens/APS-C Format    88-400mm (35mm Equivalent)    Aperture Range: f/4 to f/32    One Ultra-Low Dispersion Element    Super Spectra Coating    STM Stepping AF Motor    Optical Image Stabilizer    Rounded 7-Blade Diaphragm

Telephoto zoom is designed for APS-C-format Canon EF-S-mount DSLRs and provides an 88-400mm equivalent focal length range.

One Ultra-Low Dispersion glass element noticeably reduces color fringing and chromatic aberrations for high clarity and color fidelity.

Super Spectra coating has been applied to individual elements to minimize ghosting and flare for greater contrast and color neutrality when working in strong lighting conditions.

An Optical Image Stabilizer helps to minimize the appearance of camera shake by up to 3.5 stops to better enable working in low-light conditions and with slower shutter speeds.

Enhanced lens coatings minimize flare and ghosting in order to produce true colors with maintained contrast.

An STM stepping AF motor realizes smooth, near-silent autofocus that is complemented by a rear focus system, advanced AF algorithms, and a high-speed CPU for fast AF performance. Additionally, full-time manual focus override is also available.

Rounded seven-blade diaphragm contributes to a pleasing out of focus quality that benefits the use of shallow depth of field and selective focus techniques.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Is this lens compatible for a Canon 90D?

A: Yes Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS STM Lens is compatible with the Canon 90D.

Q: 2. Will this work with the T6i EOS model (not the Rebel T6i EOS model)? Thanks.

A: The Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS STM Lens is compatible for use with all Canon EOS DSLR digital cameras which use the smaller APS-C 1.6x cropped sensor, which would include the Canon EOS Digital Rebel T6i DSLR camera.

Q: 3. Is this compatible with an EF to RF lens adapter?

A: Yes, the Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS STM Lens can be used on a Canon R series camera using the Canon EF to RF adapter. Please be aware that the 55-205mm lens is a crop sensor lens. It would be fully compatible when adapted to a crop sensor camera such as the R7, R10, R50 or R100. When adapted to a full frame Canon R camera, the resolution would be lowered and the camera will crop the image by 1.6x.

Q: 4. which lens do you think is better for sports? I was looking at theses 2 the EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS or the EF 70-300mm F/4-F/5.6 USM?

A: It does depend on the sport you are shooting. I have both lenses and use the 55-250 at least 80% of the time. Trusted to get the shot needed, especially in fast paced situations.

Q: 5. Will this fit a canon EOS M50

A: No, the Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS STM Lens will not fit directly on the Canon EOS M50 Mirrorless Camera, as the M50 has a EF-M lens mount, and this lens is a standard EF-mount. In order to use this lens on that camera you would need the Canon EF-M Lens Adapter Kit for Canon EF / EF-S Lenses, BH #CALA (https://bhpho.to/3TyTYFy).

Q: 6. Will it work on a Canon C-100 video camera?

A: Yes. The Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS STM Lens would work with the Canon C100.

Q: 7. Will a 1.4 telextender work with this lens?

A: Sorry, no. Telextenders work best with extreme (expensive) telephoto primes with fast f/2.8 apertures. They cannot work with consumer lenses like this with an effective f/11 stop. If you try to mount this, the glass elements most likely will hit and damage each other. Even if you succeeded in mounting, the lens would be so dark, you could not focus and the image quality, sharpness wise, would be very poor.

Q: 8. will this lense work for the cannon eos 70D?

A: The Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS STM Lens is compatible on the Canon EOS 70D.

Q: 9. will this support canon eos rebel t5?

A: Yes it will. The Canon EOS Rebel T5i camera is compatible with any autofocus lenses made by Canon or for the EOS system by other manufacturers.

Q: 10. will this len fit on rebel t5i?

A: Yes, it will fit the T5i.It will give you a range between 88mm-400mm focal length, due to the T5i's x 1.6 crop factor.Overall I find this lens to be extremely good with it's sharpness, color and speed of focusing.If you do video with it, it is virtually silent too.Highly recommended !!
