Canon EF-S 55-250mm F/4-5.6 IS STM Lens
The Canon EFS 55-250mm IS STM is an 88-400mm-equivalent zoom for Canon APS-C DSLRs.
This lens's long reach is enhanced by the inclusion of an Ultra-Low Dispersion element, which helps to greatly reduce colour fringing and chromatic aberrations for greater clarity and colour accuracy throughout the zoom range. A Super Spectra coating is also featured and minimizes flare and ghosting in order to produce greater contrast when working in bright lighting conditions. Benefitting both photo and video applications, an STM stepping AF motor is used to realize quick and near-silent autofocus performance along with full-time manual focus override. Additionally, a four-stop-effective Image Stabilizer system is also featured and minimizes the appearance of camera shake for sharper handheld shooting.
