Lens Review: Canon EF-S 55-250mm F/4-5.6 IS

Canon EF-S 55-250mm F/4-5.6 IS

TECHNOLOGY

Bokeh: The 55-250 has a circular aperture opening for more-rounded out-of-focus highlights which is nice.

Auto-focus: Micro Motor AF (autofocus) delivers relatively slow AF but focus accuracy is not a problem. Of course, being a narrow aperture lens (relatively deep depth of field) helps in this regard. FTM (Full Time Manual) focusing is not available. Actually, the manual indicates that you should avoid touching the focus ring during AF as it physically turns.

Colors: Colors produced by the 55-250mm F/4-5.6 are decent for a general user although the contrast is a bit low.

Chromatic Aberration (CA):  Flare and CA are very well controlled and color cast is not noticed.

Magnification: The Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS Lens has a short MFD (Minimum Focus Distance) which yields a very high MM (Maximum Magnification) for a non-macro-specific lens.
