    Got this lens as an upgrade to the Canon EF-S 55-250 IS II telephoto lens for my Canon T3 This is a significant upgrade over the previous lens. I shoot a fair bit of video and one of the main advantages of this lens is the very fast autofocus system (STM) which is essentially silent. The image stabilizer (IS) feature of this lens is also completely silent. This makes for shooting video very smooth and quiet. The autofocus speed of this is slower than a USM lens but is much better for video than a similar USM lens because of it's silent nature throughout the telephoto range. One feature I particularly enjoy is the lens' ability to focus track a subject smoothly. Very impressive for a budget telephoto lens often sold in camera kits.

    Two other great practical things about this lens is that it allows full-time manual override while in autofocus mode. The focus is drive-by-wire electronic manual override with no physical connection to the focus system meaning that the camera must be powered on for this to work. This may be a problem depending on what you use your camera for but it wasn't a huge issue for me. The focus ring is set for precision over speed which is means more turning for really fine focus. This is also what I prefer. Secondly, the front element of the lens does not rotate with focusing. This means that lens hoods and filters do not rotate and can remain in their desired orientation while focusing.

    As a final feature, this lens has one extra lens element over the previous version and I've noticed a slight improvement in the Bokeh (the quality of background blur) compared to the previous lens. The image quality remains excellent as in the previous version. There is, however, quite a bit of vignetting, especially on the telephoto end of the zoom. This was also present in the previous version of this lens however.

    Overall, I purchased this lens for 1) silent and quick autofocus 2) full time manual over-ride 3) no rotation of the front element of the lens. I wish there was a direct link to the focus instead of drive-by-wire but despite this, the upgrade was worth it for me. I would definitely recommend.

    EDIT#3
    The lens takes amazing pictures. The small sound is nothing to worry about if you dont record in silent environment. For the price I got it for (219$) you will never find anything close to this lens quality!
    EDIT#2
    It seems that the rattling noise is normal because I tested several lenses from different stores and they all make it. Maybe I am too sensitive to those sounds because almost nobody noticed it. But all arround its a REALLY great lense for the price I paid!! I bought it at best buy to check the sound (which was there) and it is really more expensive at best buy!

    EDIT
    I just foud out that it is making a rattling sound when I zoom in video mode (it is not from the IS). It is loud enough to be heard in the video so it is bothering...
    The shipping box was dammaged so maybe it is the cause. At the beginning I tought it was not important because the inside box was ok, but now that I foud that it's making a weird noise, it makes me nervous..
    Imay have to return it but it is really sad because I loved it!!!

    ------------
    I must say that I am amazed that I had this deal !
    The lens is brand new, in the original box and with the warranty card. Everything is original.
    I was hesitant to buy at the beginning because there was a so big difference between the seller price (218$ CAD) and the price at best buy (399+tax), but I am glad I took the decision to buy it!
    I just had the chance to try it a little and everything seems A+. The lens is sharp, autofocus is really fast and you almost can't hear it (a true STM, not like the Canon 24mm lens). I will keep you update if anything comes up, and also for the performance of the lens. But from my first impression, I think it is the best lens that I could have bought for this price.
    I bought it from the seller Canadian Dealz and everything went well and it is shipping with amazon prime, so it is a big plus.
    I already love it!

    The Canon EF-S 55-250mm F/4-5.6 IS STM is designed for Canon EF & EF-S lens mounts, but I bought it for use with the Canon M100. With the Commlite EOS-M adapter, the combo works flawlessly, enabling both AF and IS. Compared to its two earlier versions, this lens is definitely superior, sharper and very quiet during zooming--which is crucial for video.

    The Canon M100 has the native Canon EF-M zoom, smaller and lighter (EF-M 55-200mm f/4.5-6.3 IS STM), but finally went for the EF-S lens because of 3 factors: longer reach, 1/3-stop faster, and sharper wide open. As for the price, the EF-S lens-adapter combo is still significantly less than the EF-M lens. After using it for several days, I'm happy with the decision. As an added bonus, the adapter allows me to use other EF-S lenses with the M-bodies. If you have no EF-S lenses and prefer the smaller size & weight, go for the EF-M zoom. Can't go wrong with either version.

    This lens had been on my wishlist for quite a while. When the price dropped just right, I took the opportunityimmediately and bought it. The zoom is decent but the ability to click a far away subject with a blur background with total clarity proved my decision to be correct in buying this lens. That's one of the reasons why this lenda is still selling 10 years after it was released by canon. The best part is the super silent AF. All-in-all, a good buy for enthusiasts and beginners.

    comprato in previsione di un safari in Africa, ha soddisfatto completamente le mie aspettative.
    Corpo di ottima fattura e abbastanza solido da sopportare 10 giorni di fuoristrada, leggero per la tipologia di obiettivo.
    Autofocus buono e sulla mia EOS 1200D, sebbene la luminosità sia ovviamente limitata (a meno che non spendiate 5 volte questo prezzo per l'alta gamma), ho avuto grandi soddisfazioni con scatti su campo aperto e soleggiato, anche in full-zoom!
    Consiglio assolutamente se cerchi un entry-level che guarda alla qualità, Canon non sbaglia.
