Product details

Get close to the action with the EF-S 55-250mm 1:4-5.6 IS STM. The lens is the ideal complement to the standard 18-55mm lens on your EOS and is perfect for nature, sports and travel photography. It combines powerful telephoto zoom characteristics with first-class image quality and intuitive handling. The EF-S 55-250mm 1:4-5.6 IS STM employs Canon Image Stabiliser technology to ensure that your shots are always razor-sharp. This enables exposure times up to 3.5 stops longer than would normally be possible hand-held, without the increased risk of camera shake - ideal in low light or at high zoom settings. Panning detection deactivates the image stabiliser when the camera is panned horizontally or vertically, so that moving subjects can be tracked with the camera without any problems.

The EF-S 55-250mm 1:4-5.6 IS STM works with a Stepping Motor (STM), which ensures continuous and quiet focusing when shooting video with the EOS and fast and precise autofocus when taking photos. Focusing via STM is so quiet that the camera's internal microphone does not pick up any noise that would interfere with the sound recording during video shooting. The EF-S 55-250mm 1:4-5.6 IS STM is equipped with a UD (Ultra-low Dispersion) glass element and Super Spectra coatings, so that it delivers razor-sharp, high-contrast images across the entire zoom range. A 7-blade iris diaphragm increases the quality of the out-of-focus area so that your subject stands out clearly against a blurred background. A manual focus ring allows you to fine-tune the focus manually at any time; the close focusing distance of approx. 0.85 m allows you to photograph particularly small subjects. A fixed front element enables the effortless use of 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.
