The most popular (because of least cost) general purpose kit lenses (lenses typically purchased in the same box as APS-C formatĭSLR cameras) have an upper end focal length of 55mm. Standout improvements are image quality and STM (Stepping Motor) driven AF with no front element rotation and no extension with focusing. The predecessor in this case is the Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS II Lens which I will refer to as the "IS II" throughout this review. While the introduction of entry-level lenses does not bring great excitement to the photographic community, this lens, like the 18-55 STM, is a marked improvement over its predecessor. The 55-250 IS STM lens follows on the heels of the Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM Lens introductionĪnd includes similar enhancements found in that lens. Including at this time the ultra-popular Rebel/***D/****D, **D (70D, 60D, 50D) and 7D models.

It is a Canon "EF-S" lens, so the 55-250 IS STM lens is only compatible with APS-C format Canon EOS DSLR cameras The Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS STM Lens is an inexpensive, light, entry level telephoto zoom lens that has image stabilization, very good image quality for the price and a very useful focal length range that will nicely complement most

It has a smaller in-house buddy to its side - the Canon EF-M 15-45mm f/3.5-6.3 STM IS (left) - see the comparison below. The Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 STM IS (to the right below) is not alone in its quest. As usual, we recommend to expect a little less than that - 3 f-stops seem to be a reasonable estimation for us coffee drinkers. Most mirrorless lenses have a focus-by-wire system - and that also applies here - but you won't really notice any "pumping" during focusing.Ĭanon's image stabilizer (IS) is rated with an efficiency gain of up to 4 f-stops.

It supports Canon’s Movie Servo AF feature for smooth and quiet continuous AF during video shooting. It's hard to judge the AF speed because the camera has its (substandard) share in this game - therefore let's call it adequate. The lens uses Canon's stepping motor for focusing. Of course, the greatness has to end somewhere thus the inner, extending lens tube is made of plastics.

The zoom and focus rings operate smoothly. It feels pretty sturdy thanks to a tightly assembled metal (!) body based on a metal mount. Kit lenses don't have the best reputation - at least in terms of build quality but the Canon EF-M 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 STM IS is clearly an exception to the rule here. The lens is usually sold as part of a camera kit but you can also buy it separately in some regions. To be honest, due to Canon's lack of ambition, the Canon EF-M 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 STM IS has been sitting in my closet for more than 2 years now so it was about time to give it a go finally.

Even several years after the system launch, there are just a handful of lenses available. While other manufacturers are releasing new mirrorless equipment at an insane pace, Canon takes a slow approach to be polite. and very little has changed ever since in the Canon EOS M system. The last time we tested a Canon EF-M lens was two years ago. Review by Klaus Schroiff, published February 2018
