Not bad not best

The lens unfortunately is not enough for bird or lunar photos at all, at the 250mm end the Canon's precise image quality can not be obtained although the lens used with the super Canon 40D! As you know the 40D is made with super quality components even better than its predecessors. We use 40D for example, with other brand lenses for astrophotography easily.
Cons: Semi-sharp images, Poor build quality, Slow auto-focus
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

poor focusing on longer length

I did not realize this lens needs double focusing, and without excellent eye sight, many of my pictures on vacation a all blurred. Apparently the larger adjustment adjust only some distance out, then you must use the outer adjustment riing to top off the focusing beyond that. Not happy with the need to double focus. .
Cons: Slow auto-focus, requres two focus efforts
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

this complements the kit normal zoom very well and image quality is very good for price.
This lens worked flawlessly for a month in the desert south west. while it is cheaply made ie plastic it held up to a month in a back pack
its nice it is the same circumfrence ans the kit normal lens so you save on filtersspeaking of which since the barrell moves with the focus function using polorizers and gradated neutral dessity filters is a time consuming pain to use bush league actually since these filters should be considered essential for all photog use,

Photos Below are examples between Two Canon Lenses. Same Focal Length 70mm settings, Same ISO 400 Shutter speed 1/166 (70-300) left vs 1/128 (55-250) right. IS on both. Same Canon EOS 80D Body Taken within a minute apart. I love my Canon Products but this Lens does not work for me. The phots Below are reduced in image size the exact amount. Saved at the HIGHEST jpg Quality setting. This lens clearly has a problem.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I am glad I purchased this camera. I initially purchased for shooting videos while at sports events, but I decided to use one day for a in home video and was surprised. The quality was and is amazing! I really LOVE the Bokeh. Very Beautiful. The only downside is if I'm wearing bright colors, they appear muted. I rarely use my 18-55 lens thanks to this baby!
Cons: alters the color a little
I would recommend this to a friend!

Original purchased back in 2016 and has been used frequently as an avid amateur photographer. Sensor failed and repair center deemed unrepairable and recycled. This was the same lens as a replacement.
I would recommend this to a friend!
