Comment on Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS Image Stabilizer Telephoto Zoom Lens – Grey Market non US Product by WILLIAM MCLEAN “The Little BANG!”.
OMG,
OMG I purchased this lens on e-Bay new for $199.00 (“Buy it Now”). It arrived today. This is one light weight and incredibly sharp lens. Also, the image colors are vivid and true. With the IMAGE STABILIZER engaged I can get super sharp images at 250mm, with lens wide open, and the shutter speed at 1/30th of a second. And I’m a 71 year old man.
I’m crazy about Amazon.com. They are really reliable, their merchandise is usually competitively priced, and I like their return policy. But I do shop.
SPECIAL NOTE; Another reviewer writes that using the Canon 58mm tread diameter 250D Closeup Filter (under $100.00), this same zoom lens becomes a fantastically sharp macro lens. I’m going to go for it next month – after my Social Security Check comes in. And yes, I will check the price on Amazon.com first.
