Great zoom lens .

from My first 55-250 in Chicago
I use this lens to get great close up shots as well as far away shooting with really good results . The noise during the zoom will just fade away the longer you start using this nice lens .
Pros: Fast auto-focus, Superior build quality, Super-sharp images
Cons: none
I would recommend this to a friend!

About what I expected

Not a bad lense for the price, at 55mm to about 150 I find the Immages very sharp, wide open at 250 is pretty soft, but the IS allows me to stop it down a bit, wich makes it more crispy, AF is a tad slow and the IS is noisy(odd i know). If taking a Long expose (3 sec or more) dissable the IS, it tends to slowly wander and cause blurriness in long exposures. I do plan on upgrading someday, but for the money this is not bad!
Pros: cheap, nice zoom, is
Cons: soft above 175mm

A Great zoom for low budjets

I purchased this lens for my T1i, and I simply love it. It does 99% of what I want to do with a telephoto zoom.
The only problem : the front lens rotates while focusing, so using of a polarizer isn't funny...
