delighted,
Ordered this lens last week from Simply Electronics. Arrived wihin three days. An amateur, but not a beginner. I have now taken in excess of 100 shots with this lens. Really superior to the kit lens with EOS 100D. Light in weight, but does not feel fragile. IS is very useful at 250mm.
AF is quick and responsive to scene. The detail and colour balance produced by this lens is excellent. It certainly is not an expensive lens – but the performance far outweighs the cost.
I am a very delighted amateur. Recommend the lens and Simply Electronics.

|Canon EFS 55-250mm IS,
I have been using the lens with a Canon EOS D550 for more than one month and I am impressed with the quality of the photos. I haven’t spotted anything that would bother me; so, from my perspective, it is a fantastic product.

|Very impressive!!!!,
Received this lens the day before it was due to arrive from Amazon.Have played with it a bit since and am very impressed with the performance.Although the construction is plastic,it still feels sturdy.Image quality is excellent both at short and long focal distance.I cannot fault the lens and am glad I traded my 70-300 mm Tamron to purchase this one.
I am extremely happy with the lens and the delivery from Amazon.If you are thinking of purchasing this lens,don’t wait any longer,get it now!!You will not be disappointed.
