Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS STM lens is a compact, lightweight, fast and silent focusing lens that is also very sharp. It is specifically designed for the range of EOS digital SLR cameras that use the smaller EF-S lens mount. Combining powerful performance with high image quality, this lens offers the equivalent of 88-400mm in 35mm format, and is ideal for photographers seeking an affordable, versatile lens for general-purpose telephoto photography.

The older models of Canon EF-S 55-250mm IS and Canon EF-S 55-250mm IS II were among Canon's best selling lenses, and this new lens adds instant manual focus override, silent autofocusing and even closer focusing than the older models. All these Canon 55-250mm lenses super sharp, focus very close, have a perfect telephoto zoom range, has Image Stabilization for sharp hand-held photos in dim light, and are small, light and inexpensive.

This Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS STM Lens incorporates Canon's 3.5-stop compensation Image Stabilizer technology. This allows the use of shutter speeds up to 3.5 times slower with no perceptible increase in image blur. Automatic panning detection automatically turns off the Image Stabilizer in either the horizontal or vertical direction when following moving subjects.

Accepts Canon ET-63 lens hood and 58mm filter (Optional accessories such as lens hoods or filters are available in our store)
