Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS STM Lens
The Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS STM is an exceptionally versatile telephoto zoom lens designed specifically for Canon APS-C format DSLRs. Delivering a powerful 88-400mm full-frame equivalent focal range, this optic brings distant action, wildlife, sports, and tightly framed portrait details right to your fingertips. Packed with smooth stepping-motor autofocus and advanced optical stabilization, it serves as the perfect lightweight telephoto companion to expand your creative reach.

Optical Clarity & Contrast Control
Ultra-Low Dispersion (UD) Element: The refined optical layout integrates one UD glass element to aggressively minimize color fringing and chromatic aberrations. This ensures high clarity, sharp edge definition, and accurate color fidelity across the entire zoom range.

Super Spectra Multi-Coating: Individual lens elements feature a specialized multi-layered coating that suppresses internal reflections, lens flare, and ghosting. This maintains rich image contrast and strict color neutrality, even when shooting in bright sunlight or direct backlit conditions.

7-Blade Rounded Diaphragm: Outfitted with seven rounded aperture blades to produce a smooth, pleasing background blur (bokeh) that beautifully separates your subject when utilizing shallow depth-of-field techniques.

Silent STM Focus & Advanced Stabilization
STM Stepping AF Motor: Driven by a rapid and near-silent gear-type stepping motor (STM) that pairs with a high-speed CPU and a rear-focusing system. This architecture delivers fast, precise tracking that is equally excellent for crisp, high-speed still photography and fluid, silent video capture.

Full-Time Manual Override: Enjoy complete creative control with full-time manual focus override, allowing you to make fine manual focus adjustments simply by rotating the focus ring at any time, even while in autofocus mode.

Optical Image Stabilizer: Features an advanced Optical Image Stabilizer that provides up to 3.5 stops of camera shake correction. This stabilization is vital for maintaining tack-sharp handheld stills and steady video footage when shooting at maximum telephoto extensions or in lower lighting.
