Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS Telephoto Zoom Lens Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS Telephoto Zoom Lens

Pros: I ordered this lens for my Canon Rebel T3 after waiting a long time for the price to get in my range. It's a fine lens for sure! Yeah I know it has a plastic ring, but hey- I cannot afford to buy the other brands that use a metal ring. Why Canon doesn't use a metal ring just doesn't make sense to me. The lens works just fine for what I want to do with it. I had to go right out after I received it and take some pictures. The auto focus worked well and the image stabilizer did it's job well also. It shipped to me in a very timely manner and it was in fine shape when it arrived at my door. I want to say Thank You to Newegg, as they are a great site to get good deals; although sometimes you have to be patient to get that good price. And I like to read all the reviews when shopping for an item as it can very helpful when making a decision. I will put in another review in a few months when I can get alot more use from this lens. But for now I am very happy with my purchase.

Cons: So far the only con and it's not that big a deal unless your really using your camera professionally is the base ring is plastic and why Canon chose to cheap out on that- I don't understand...

Pros: Great combo to have with my Canon Rebel T3, crisp and sharp photos. Easy to use and well worth the money.

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: if i could i would of uploaded a photo or 2 i have taken with this lens with my Canon Rebel T3, been told they look professional.

Pros: this with the 50mm f/1.8 you dont really need any more lenses to take gorgeous pictures. they are both realtivly inexpensive, and they are super fast. You will love the images that come out of this lens.

Cons: not a one.

Pros: Cheap (compared to those other lenses), IS, zoom is pretty darn far.

Cons: None so far

Other Thoughts: Just picked this up a few weeks ago along with my new external flash. Zooms far and taken about a 1000 pictures so far with it. Holding up so far so I can't complain about anything just yet!

Pros: Although I've had this lens for about 7 months I haven't used it very often so can't speak to it's durability but every time I have used it I was extremely pleased with the results. Reasonably fast for a telephoto and great pictures.

Cons: I compulsive look for flaws in anything I purchase. With this lens the only negative I can find is that the mount is not metal. With occasional use I doubt that this will make a difference. Maybe just as durable

Other Thoughts: I compared this to a 80-300 canon without stabilization and it makes a big difference on a telephoto for handheld shots. The stabilization works great. Would want a telephoto with out it

Pros: Awesome lens..I bought from Walmart which had the same price as Newegg so why wait? I love Newegg but Walmart online is selling this model for $50 less right now. Im surprised Newegg is allowing this to happen.

Cons: No matter where you get this lens..you're going to love it.

Pros: Well made, holds up to humid weather very well.

Cons: screen shuts off if HDMI is plugged in

Other Thoughts: Performed very well on a Documentary trip to Costa Rica and Panama. Survived hot humid conditions, travel, white water rafting class 4 rapids and jungle hikes. I never had any problems with types of cards, or writing speeds. Battery life was excellent.

Pros: This just can't be beat for the price or compact size. The image quality is excellent for novices, and the IS works great.

Cons: As the photo geeks point out, it will not match a $1500 L series lens.... Um, Duh!

Other Thoughts: Get this when Newegg offers package deals. The T2i with this lens was only a little more than the cost of the body alone.

Pros: Lens works great on my aging Rebel XT (350D).

Cons: No cons

Pros: Great lens for long range shots

Cons: none!
