Canon EF-S 55-250 f / 4-5.6 IS lens review

Canon EF-S 55-250 mm F 4-5.6 IS full description

The world famous company Canon, the world leader in the production and development of photo and video equipment, has presented the improved Canon EF – S 55-250 mm F4-5.6 IS lens, an excellently arranged mount, indispensable when working with distant objects. This lens is equipped with the latest 4-stage image stabilization technology to improve the quality of your photos, especially in low light situations. The entire S series of lenses is one of the most sought-after lines of low-cost, budget lenses that can produce and deliver near-best image quality. It is in the continuation of these traditions that Canon has created the new Canon EF – S 55-250 mm F4-5.6 ISB telephoto lens, which, in terms of its technical parameters and design features, is able to compete with more expensive "brothers in arms". The new model contains full-fledged professional optics, which provides an excellent opportunity to achieve maximum clarity of the resulting image, while reducing unwanted noise and dispersion.

The new lens is highly versatile and is fully compatible with all Canon EOS camera models equipped with an EF-S mount. Among them are such well-known camera models as Canon EOS 40D, Canon EOS 400D and others.

Unlike its predecessors, the new Canon EF – S 55-250 mm F4-5.6 IS boasts almost the widest range of magnification. This model stands out for its fairly compact size and surprisingly low weight. A focal length of 55-250mm makes it possible to take great pictures even on the move, being in nature, in the center of sports events or simply traveling to new places. The ultra-low-dispersion element used in this optical design significantly reduces the presence of chromatic and other aberrations. It is also now even easier to eliminate flare and ghosting, which are so detrimental to the clarity and color reproduction of the image.

IS stands for a new and improved Image Stabilizer that Canon has recently developed. It is this image stabilizer that provides 4-degree compensation for blurred images with possible shaking and or long exposure. As an example, we can say that on previous versions of lenses, when setting the same shooting parameters, in order to get a high-quality picture, you had to set the shutter speed equal to 1/250 second, while on the new Canon EF-S 55-250 mm F4-5.6 IS the same frame will be obtained when the shutter speed is reduced to 1/15 of a second. At the same time, we will receive equally high-quality frames. Plus, when shooting nature or sports reports, the new lens is equipped with an automatic panning function, with the help of which it has become much easier and more convenient to shoot in this kind of genre. The IS itself is built so that at any focal length, it delivers accurate and clear color reproduction and superior image quality.

The circular aperture used in this lens model makes it possible to achieve a completely uniform background blur. This only plays into the hands of a greater development of the artistic and creative possibilities of the photographer, if he uses the lens in portraits and similar types of photography.

An improved, specially developed Super Spectra coating is still used on this lens model as well. The practice of its application has repeatedly shown that it can well and effectively resist the appearance of unwanted glare and ghosting in images, which appear as a result of light reflection from the image sensor. It is precisely as a result of this deposition that now all the images obtained from the Canon EF – S 55-250 mm F4-5.6 IS lens will stand out for their natural high-quality color reproduction and amazing contrast, and the lens will never cease to amaze you with its clarity.
