Product Description

Kit Includes:
♦ 1) Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4.0-5.6 IS Telephoto Lens
♦ 2) Canon Deluxe SLR Camera Case
♦ 3) Precision Design ET-60 Lens Hood
♦ 4) Precision Design Deluxe 6-Piece Lens & Digital SLR Camera Cleaning Kit

The Canon EF-S 55-250mm IS telephoto Zoom Lens is designed with Canon's Optical Image Stabilizer technology while retaining compactness and lightness. This high zoom ratio lens is equivalent to a focal length of 88-400mm in the 35mm format (when used on Canon EOS cameras compatible with EF-S lenses), and the image stabilizer effect equivalent to a shutter speed about 4 stops faster than the same size lens without Image Stabilizer. In other words, if the slowest shutter speed you could formerly hold a 250mm lens steadily was 1/250th of a second, with Canon's 4-stop stabilization correction, you could hand-hold at shutter speeds as slow as 1/15th of a second. It also uses a UD-glass lens element to correct chromatic aberration for excellent image quality throughout the zoom range.

Made from rugged, water-repellant Nylon, and outfitted with a non-slip reinforced handle, this compartment case will easily hold your camera, lenses, flash, and accessories. A mesh pocket inside the top flap provides for easy access to film, memory cards or batteries. A large zipper pocket inside the front flap protects filters, pens, cleaning supplies, and lens caps.

The Precision Design ET-60 Lens Hood is primarily designed to prevent unwanted stray light from entering the lens by extending and shading the end of the lens. In addition, since the end of the lens is extended, you also get the added benefit of extra impact protection.

This 6-piece cleaning kit contains a hurricane air blower, Lens Cleaning Tissue, Lens Cloth, Lens Cleaning Liquid, Brush and Cotton Swabs.

This review is from: Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4.0-5.6 IS Telephoto Zoom Lens + Canon 2400 DSLR Gadget Bag Case + Lens Hood + Cleaning Kit for Digital Rebel XS, XSi, T1i, T2i, EOS 50D, 60D & 7D Digital SLR Camera (Electronics)

As many have noted this lens is one of Canon's best inexpensive lens. Somewhat limited in it use for wildlife or far away targets - it's certainly a useful lens for any beginner to semi professionals kit bag. Can't beat the price for a quality telephoto.
