The Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS II is a masterfully engineered telephoto zoom, specifically designed for photographers using Canon's APS-C sensor DSLRs. Featuring an expansive focal range that is equivalent to a 88-400mm lens on a full-frame camera, it is celebrated for bringing distant subjects into crisp, intimate view. This unit (S/N: 7901045916) features Canon’s dedicated Image Stabilizer (IS) technology, which provides a 4-stop advantage to ensure sharp results even when shooting handheld at long distances or in lower light. With its lightweight design and high-quality optics, this lens provides the mechanical soul and digital precision required for wildlife, sports, and travel photography.

Introductory Paragraph The Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS II is the definitive choice for the enthusiast who values impressive magnification without the heavy bulk of professional telephoto lenses. This specific unit is a standout because it represents the Mark II refinement of this popular lens, featuring updated algorithms for even more effective image stabilization. The Canon optics are famous for their reliability and sharp contrast, ensuring that even a distant bird or an athlete across the field is captured with professional detail. Because it utilizes the EF-S mount found on the EOS Rebel, 70D, and 7D series, it serves as the perfect companion to a standard 18-55mm kit lens, completing your focal range for any scenario. Whether you are capturing a candid portrait from afar or a fast-paced game, this Canon provides the optical brilliance and modern stabilization that makes telephoto photography accessible to everyone.

Condition Report Good condition. The Canon lens barrel (S/N: 7901045916) shows normal signs of light use and minor cosmetic surface wear consistent with its history. The glass is optically clear; free from fungus, haze, or significant scratches. The Image Stabilization (IS) system and autofocus have been fully tested and are functional. The zoom and focus rings move smoothly across their entire range.

Specialist Note "The 55-250mm IS II is one of the best value-for-money lenses in the Canon lineup. What I love about this model is the 'IS' system—it’s remarkably effective at 250mm, allowing you to get steady shots that would otherwise require a tripod. It’s a rugged, honest piece of Japanese engineering that is surprisingly sharp for its weight. For anyone looking to add serious reach to their Canon DSLR kit, this lens is a must-have tool that handles almost any outdoor subject with ease."
