Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS II
In the world of photography, there are always a few "a MUST have" lens where you will carry along with you wherever you're on vacation or on professional task. Tele zoom is one of the lens which is commonly had by many photographer out there for further reach, be it cheap, moderate or expensive ones.
Since I'm a little bit confused by some reviews out there, I guess I better get one to try out before I place any purchase on it. So I've borrowed a unit from a very good friend of mine and try out what's the outcome of this so-called under-priced tele lens. To cut the story short, what I've gotta say is, IT HAS SURPRISED ME ! Don't be fooled by the cheap price tag and cheapo plastic appearance! For a lens priced at this kind of price tag with good end result, I really got nothing to complain about. No doubt, it's built from a cheaper material and all over the whole lens is plastic but what matter most in the end of the day is the performance and end result. AF speed is decent while optical quality and sharpness level is as good as claimed by a few review sites.
And most important of all, the final part is the long end 250mm. I believe the purpose of having such end is to push all the way until the far end of it and hoping to get good result. With this lens, don't you worry about so-called soft result or drop sharpness...at 250mm focal length with aperture set to f/8, this little baby are able to give you a very good result without a single disappointment! Guess there's no need for me to explain further, I purposely took these picture just to try out how well can this lens perform, thus, please forgive me if my framing is not as artistic enough as expected :)
cheers!!!
