I just bought a new lens for my Canon EOS 20D. Canon just came out with a 55-250mm EF-S lens with image stabilization. I was looking for a lens to go with the 50mm F1.4 lens I bought previously and this one was perfect.
I can now take some reasonably good daylight action pictures at baseball games & stuff. It's not an L series lens by any means but I think it will be perfect for what I need.
Here are some pictures of it in action:
At 55mm.
Somewhere in the middle.
At 250mm.
This is what the lens won't do real well, indoor shot without a lot of lighting. This was taken at 250mm and was a 1/15 second exposure. Uncropped, this picture looks fine, but close up you can see the sharpness issues. The image stabilization is good but it can't fix this.
Can't wait to use this lens when we go to L.A. in April & check out an Angel game.
Wonder what lens #3 is going to be....
Ohh I just bought this lens today.
Was going to get a different one and purchased this instead. Yours was the first thing to pop up on a google search.
Hope you still like it!
