The Canon EF-S 55-250mm lens is a telephoto zoom lens which incorporates new technology from Canon to beat its competitors in quality. The lens uses Optical Image Stabilizer mechanics to enable users to get great long distance, low-light shots. The lens does this much more successfully than other lenses in the same field and can be used to capture images as different as moving targets at a distance, or close-up, intimate portraits.
The lens is compatible with many of Canon’s EOS cameras. It has a high-zoom-ratio which is equivalent to a focal length of 88-400mm. The image stabilizer also allows photographers to experience a shutter speed of around four stops faster than another lens of the same size without the image stabilization technology. In real terms, this means that if 1/250th of a second is the slowest shutter speed with which you can hold a 250mm lens steadily, then with Canon’s image stabilization technology, the Canon EF- S 55-250mm lens allows you to take steady, focused pictures at a shutter speed as low as 1/15th of a second.
As well as its built-in stabilization technology, the lens also has a UD-glass element to prevent chromatic aberration. With the Canon EF-S 55-250mm lens, you will always get sharp, evenly-focused pictures, whatever level of zoom you are using. In addition to this, users can enjoy an impressive zoom range. With the closest focusing distance at 3.6 feet, you can use the lens to capture images at a distance and still maintain the clarity of the shot.
The Canon EF-S 55-250 provides an affordable solution to photographers who want the great long-lasting quality that is associated with the Canon name. Available with a one year warranty, the lens is a light-weight accessory for users wanting to be able to take detailed shots using the latest technology.
