The Canon EF-S55-250mm F4-5.6 IS was awarded the "Best Entry-level lens" at the Technical Image Press Association (TIPA) 2008 Awards.
Jury's Comments: "This telephoto zoom offers a tremendous range of focal lengths and features an optical image stabilizer, which allows around 4 stops of light to be gained. This asset compensates for the modest aperture of f/4-5.6, and in terms of use, effectively converts a slow lens into a fast one. The optical construction of 12 lenses in 10 groups ensures that sharpness and distortion is well controlled, and on a Canon D-SLR, it offers an equivalent zoom range of 88-400mm. All this and it weighs only 390 grams, so it's light enough for photographers to carry as a regular part of their shooting kit."
TIPA comprises 31 European magazines from 12 countries, whose editors subject digital imaging products to extensive, rigorous review. These magazines are published by independent companies with no relationship with either the manufacture or sale of photographic, video or digital products.
