Product details

With the EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS STM, you can get up close to the action. This lens is the perfect complement to the 18-55mm standard lens of your EOS and is ideal for nature, sports, and travel photography. It combines powerful telephoto zoom capabilities with excellent image quality and intuitive handling.

Optical Image Stabilizer

To ensure your shots are always razor-sharp, the EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS STM utilizes Canon's image stabilization technology. This allows for exposure times up to 3.5 stops longer than would normally be possible handheld, without increased risk from camera shake—ideal in low light or at high zoom settings. The stabilization is disabled during horizontal or vertical panning, allowing you to easily track moving subjects with the camera.

STM Technology

The EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS STM features a Stepping Motor (STM) that provides continuous and quiet focusing during video recording with the EOS, as well as fast and precise autofocus for still photography. The STM focusing is so quiet that the camera's internal microphone does not pick up sounds that would interfere with audio recording during video shoots.

Impressive Image Quality

The EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS STM is equipped with a UD (Ultra-low Dispersion) glass element and Super Spectra coatings, ensuring sharp, high-contrast images throughout the entire zoom range. A 7-blade diaphragm enhances the quality of the out-of-focus areas, allowing your subject to stand out clearly against a blurred background.

For Great Photos

A manual focus ring allows for fine-tuning of focus at any time; the minimum focusing distance of approximately 0.85 m enables photography of particularly small subjects. A rigid front element makes it easy to use filters.

Rank 13 out of 16Stiftung WarentestTelezooms - mit langen BrennweitenReleaseJuly 2017

Canons 377 Gramm leichtes 55-250-Millimeter-Objektiv für 269 Euro eignet sich als Einziges nicht für Vollformat-Kameras, sondern nur für solche mit Bildsensor im gängiren APS-C-Format. Mit 55 Millimeter Anfangsbrennweite schließt es direkt an den Zoombereich von Canons Standard-Kit-Objektiv für APS-C-Kameras an. Im Test zeigt es eine weniger gute Bildstabilisierung als die beiden 70-300er.

Das Canon EF-S 4-5.6/55-250 mm IS STM serviert im Test ein durchmischtes Ergebnis. Zwar kann die Telezoom-Optik für Canon-EOS-DSLRs mit APS-C-Sensor durch geringe Abbildungsfehler und einen treffsicheren Autofokus punkten. Die niedrige Auflösung und die geringe Lichtstärke ziehen das Telezoom-Objektiv allerdings auf den letzten Platz in der Bestenliste.

Das gut verarbeitete Objektiv leistet sich keine großen Schwächen und ist auch in Sachen Nahgrenze gut aufgestellt. Allerdings besitzt es keine Sonnenblende und bildet die Bilder sehr gut ab. zudem lässt sich der Fokussierring sehr gut und angenehm einstellen.
