This lens is a great upgrade from the kit 18-55mm usually provided with Canon crop cameras. While initially I had some concerns before purchasing it, because its construction is made of plastic, when it arrived in my hands I realized that it is a very well-made lens. The quality of the photos is improved compared to the kit lens and I have noticed that it focuses much better on objects, without any distortions as was common with the 18-55mm. The focal length of 55-250mm is satisfactory and quite impressive, especially in the first uses, as it is a big improvement from the 55mm that the kit lens reached. It is the best Value For Money crop lens, and I highly recommend it.

It is an amazing value for money and it is a lens that if I had to choose one lens to always have with me, it would be this one as it is incredibly user-friendly for outdoor photography, satisfactorily fast focusing, quite sharp, good colors, normal size and weight. If I have something negative to say, it is the build quality, it doesn't give the feeling that it will break but it has the same feeling as the kit lenses in entry-level DSLRs

I recently got him. I had to get him from the beginning ... I was unnecessarily bothered by similar lenses from third-party manufacturers with compatibility issues and back-front focus

I have been doing amateur photography for a year now. I bought the 4000d kit and after about seven months of use, it started displaying something slightly less than 1080p, around 720p. I didn't want to change the camera because it would be too expensive and it was a lens problem. I preferred this one and after a week of use, I can say that the photos are much clearer than with the 4000d lens. Stable autofocus and I really recommend it for those who didn't save money for a much better one and then get a lens like this.

The number one value for money Telephoto Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS STM

I bought this lens here 2 months ago and I have formed an opinion about it.
In its positives:
• excessively fast auto focus
• very smooth zoom rotation
• more than satisfactory diameter
In its negatives:
• shots after 8 o'clock are impossible due to a small aperture range
• its construction, despite being compact, is entirely made of plastic
In conclusion, it is a necessary and useful lens to have with you because it offers many options due to its zoom, and let's not forget the price, which makes it a value for money

For an affordable telephoto lens on APS-C, I believe it is the best choice for Canon. I have used it for both video and photography and it performs satisfactorily in both. It tracks action well and does not lose focus due to fast autofocus (tested in soccer). However, if you have the sun in front, it loses a lot in color and contrast, so purchasing a lens hood for this lens is necessary even though it is not wide-angle.

The construction is entirely plastic, which is positive for its lightweight, but negative because I am counting the days until I destroy it. However, no problems so far. And the zoom ring turns very smoothly (useful for video).

For a low budget, it is highly recommended.

For the money it costs, the efficiency of this specific lens is excellent!!! It has a wide range with very good and silent AF. The IS also helps a lot!

It is a lens with very good sharpness in photos and relatively fast autofocus. It has a very wide zoom range and is quiet.
I consider it one of the most honest branded lenses for its price and I have been very satisfied with its performance.
