A great lens for me as a beginner, obviously I would like the 400mm L series but cannot justify the cost so this one will do me. The stepping motor works really well as does the stabiliser. I have this lens fitted to my camera all the time even though I have a 18-55mm and a 50mm.

At 120 pounds at the moment this lens is a bargain. Ive been using it now for 6 months on the eos 1110d and 650d. It performs well on both cameras, much better than the 4.0 to 5.6 rating would suggest, its better on the 600d as that focuses faster and takes shots much faster (I shoot in RAW). Initially I wondered if I would see a difference compared to the 300 at full zoom as I have been photographing a lot of wildlife and birds. My honest opinion is I think it is better and more user friendly that the 300. It is much lighter and I have found that I have been able to take great shots at full extension without using my tripod, just bracing my arm. The lens autofocus motor is completely silent which is great for wildlife (the 300 is a bit noisy and jerky on focusing), also great is that I often focus manual and this can be done with this lens set in AF mode, just focus with the shutter release half depressed. All in all a much better lens than the build quality and price would suggest.

Good lens, although I’m now looking at buying the 18-200mm which is considerably more expensive, as I find myself interchanging between the standard 18-55 and the 55-250 quite often which can be a pain at times! Otherwise it’s a brilliant lens and especially for the price!

I love this lense and have got some great shots with it. I am an amateur. Even hand held on zoom, leaning on a tree, I get decent shots, usually better on a tripod though. Got my first decent picture of the moon with this. It is quite hefty compared to my kit lenses but worth carrying around.

Good choice for user’s with the 18-55 kit lens who require a bit more reach at a budget price.Image quality is very good for the money and the IS works well.Can’t really fault this lens other than the plastic lens mount.

I got this lens for my Canon 600D Dslr camera because for the last year I discovered that a group of lovely little fox cubs had been born in my garden and made it their home. I have spent many days capturing photo’s and videos of them playing and giving them some food. But it was hard to get a really great close up shot of them and I knew that I needed a more telescopic lens.So I ordered this bad and after it arrived I had several chances to put it to great use and the results have been fantastic! I now have several moments with my furry friends captured perfectly because of this lens. I’ll add a couple of photo’s so you can see for yourself how great this lens truly is

I’ll keep this short and to the point. I love this lens, it is very sharp, amazingly fast and accurate to focus in bright light and solidly built. The variable aperture is very dark at the long end so you will struggle to use it for indoors sport photography and it will be difficult to isolate your subject from the background. The STM autofocus is amazing, one of the fastest lens I have ever used, however it really struggles in low light, focus hunting, slower and less accurate. The image quality is very good, very little chromatic aberration and very sharp. I cannot state strongly how great value for money this is, it is the sharpest budget telephoto lens I have ever used. The 55-250 mm focal length is really useful as well, it is equal to 88-400 mm on a full frame camera which puts it at the lower range of what you want for wildlife photography. If you were seriously getting into wildlife photography you would want a Sigma 150-500 or a Canon 100-400.I have also used this for tighter landscape photos as it really emphasizes the background..

Used with an EOS 760D and it performs well. Focus is fast and accurate and the zoom action is smooth. No other details as there has been no serious use yet.
