Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS
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.
