Canon EF-S Telephoto Zoom Lens
The Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS II is a telephoto zoom lens built for Canon APS-C DSLR cameras. It covers a focal range of 55-250mm, providing an 88-400mm equivalent field of view. Optical Image Stabilization helps capture sharp handheld shots at longer focal lengths. The compact black barrel uses a 58mm filter thread.
Suits hobbyists shooting distant subjects.
This lens suits hobbyists photographing sports, wildlife or portraits on compatible EOS models such as the 7D, 60D or Rebel series. The EF-S mount prevents use on full-frame Canon bodies. The variable f/4-5.6 maximum aperture limits low-light performance without flash or high ISO settings. Buyers needing a constant wide aperture should look elsewhere.
Optical Image Stabilizer rated at roughly four stops
The built-in Optical Image Stabilizer delivers a shutter-speed advantage of roughly four stops over an unstabilised lens of similar focal length. This single specification determines whether handheld telephoto work is practical in marginal light. The system uses a DC micro motor with gear-driven front focusing. A minimum focus distance of 3.6ft allows 0.31x magnification for close-up detail.

| Features | 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 |

Questions about this item
How often should the 58 mm filter threads and front element be cleaned to maintain image quality?
Clean the front element and 58 mm filter threads only when dust or smudges are visible. Use a blower first, then a microfibre cloth with lens fluid if needed. The DC micro motor and image stabiliser unit are sealed and require no routine servicing.
What focal-length and aperture combination limits low-light hand-held shooting at the long end?
At 250 mm the maximum aperture is f/5.6, so shutter speed drops quickly in dim light. The optical stabiliser gives roughly four stops of shake correction, but subject motion will still blur if the shutter falls below about 1/250 second.
Does the lens barrel or AF motor become noticeably warm during continuous all-day use?
The DC micro motor and optical stabiliser draw little power; the polycarbonate barrel stays near ambient temperature even after hours of shooting. No active cooling is needed and heat buildup is not a practical concern.
