Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS II (Image Stabilizer) Zoom Telephoto Lens with Caps
The lens is in very good condition, the zoom is smooth, the auto focus works well. As expected for a zoom lens there is some minor dust specs that have no visible impact on photos taken. The lens is supplied with the front & rear caps. Please review photos of the lens and sample shots taken with this lens and my Canon DSLR.
The last 13 images are sample shots taken with this lens and my Canon DSLR camera. The last 10 shots are 5 pairs taken to show the almost 5x zoom range of this lens. The first of each pair with the lens at 55mm and the second at 250mm. All shots are not retouched and were taken with the camera in 'P' auto mode. At zoom on close objects the resultant image provides excellent bokeh effect (sharp subject with blurred background).
The lens will be supplied with the front & rear caps as shown in the photos.
The lens will be well packed and posted with tracking and signature on delivery.
Canon 55-250mm IS II lens specifications (from dpreview.com)
Manufacturer description:
This telephoto zoom lens is designed with Canon's Optical Image Stabilizer technology while retaining compactness and lightness, in response to demands of photographers. This high zoom ratio 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 EF-S telephoto lens with great features delivers excellent performance at an affordable price for all photographers.
