Incorporating Canon"s Optical Image Stabilizer technology, this Canon 55-250mm telephoto zoom lens captures long distance, low-light shots far better than many comparable lenses, helping you photograph the far-off action of athletes or zoom in for an intimate portrait with a blurred background. The 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). More significantly, the image stabilizer effect creates an equivalent shutter speed of roughly four stops faster than the same size lens without an image stabilizer. In other words, if the slowest shutter speed you can hold a 250mm lens steadily is normally 1/250th of a second, this Canon lens will let you hand-hold shutter speeds as slow as 1/15th of a second. The lens also boasts a UD-glass lens element to correct chromatic aberration to create excellent image quality throughout the zoom range. ++PLUS++ 10pc Deluxe Accessory Kit: - UV (Ultraviolet) Protection Filter: protects the lens & reduces lens flare and ghosting caused by reflections - CPL (Circular Polarizer) Filter: Removes unwanted reflections from non-metallic surfaces, and lets you achieve vibrant color saturation - FL-D (Fluorescent) Filter: balances light in outdoor situations or where fluorescent lights are used - Filter case - Pull String Closer Neoprene Soft Lens Pouch with Clip & Belt Loop - Soft Rubber Lens Hood (Prevents image-degrading lens flare by blocking stray light) - High Quality 2 in 1 Lens Cleaning Pen (brush & spray) - High Quality Dust Cleaner Blower (Excellent way to remove dust off sensitive camera parts without physical contact) - Universal Lens Cap Keeper - HeroFiber® Ultra Gentle Cleaning Cloth (the most effective way to clean all optical surfaces).
