Pros and cons

According to our camera lens expert

With the 55-250mm zoom range, the lens is suitable for portrait, animal, and sports photography.
You can take sharp handheld photos at slower shutter speeds thanks to the image stabilization.
The autofocus motor focuses silently, so you won’t hear any distracting sounds in your videos.
When you zoom in, the lens becomes less light-sensitive and your images look less bright.
The lens isn’t water-resistant, so you can’t take photos in the rain.

Great lens!

Light intensity is a bit disappointing

I got this lens from the Coolblue Second Chances. On the day I received it, I was planning to go to the zoo. That is of course the perfect place to test your new lens!

I clicked the lens on my Canon 1100D (I'll have to replace it soon) and was very pleasantly surprised after taking the first picture! What a great sharp photo this lens takes at 250mm, f5.6!

For the relatively low purchase price, this is a lens that everyone should have in their bag. It is also a perfect complement to the standard 18-55mm lens. I can't wait to go on vacation and start taking pictures with this lens. Highly recommended!
