The Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS Telephoto Zoom Lens for DSLR Cameras is designed to meet the needs of photographers and videographers who want to add versatility and range to their professional and personal collection of lenses.

It is compact, lightweight, and engineered to provide up to 3.5 equivalent stops of shake correction.

The result is extended reach and sharper images of objects that are far away, even when your camera is held by hand.

This 55-250mm lens features Canon's STM stepping motor and a newly designed high-speed CPU, which is a rear-focus mechanism.

Behind the lens, you'll also experience an improved AF algorithm for high-speed performance, which supports the Movie Servo AF for smooth, quiet and continuous focus adjustments.
