Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4.0-5.6 is II Telephoto Zoom Lens

Description

From the Manufacturer Incorporating Canon’s Optical Image Stabilizer
technology, this Canon 55-250mm telephoto zoom lens captures long distance,
low-light shots far better than many comparable lenses, helping you photograph
the far-off action of athletes or zoom in for an intimate portrait with a
blurred background. The 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). More significantly, the image stabilizer effect creates an
equivalent shutter speed of roughly four stops faster than the same size lens
without an image stabilizer. In other words, if the slowest shutter speed you
can hold a 250mm lens steadily is normally 1/250th of a second, this Canon
lens will let you hand-hold shutter speeds as slow as 1/15th of a second. The
lens also boasts a UD-glass lens element to correct chromatic aberration to
create excellent image quality throughout the zoom range. Delivering an
excellent performance at an affordable price for all photographers, the
55-250mm lens carries a one-year warranty. Specifications Focal length:

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 new EF-S telephoto
lens with great features delivers excellent performance at an affordable price
for all photographers.
