What a ridiculous review:
"My recommendation is to get the Canon EF 70-200mm f/4 L USM Lens over the 55-250."
Of course a $700 lens is going to be better than one that's $190. From everything...

The 55-250mm is a perfectly fine lenses and at $188 you can't go wrong. Obviously it's not a super high-end lenses but if you want to add some zooming capability over the kit kens on a T2i or...

This is an excellent lens for the price. If you're on a budget, it's as good as it gets. Of course the L's are better but give then 10x (give or take) price differential, that is sort of expected....

I'm actually the opposite.
Unless you can only deal with a metal body, and constant aperture the 70-200mm f4 isn't a good enough improvement over the 55-250mm for the extra price. I've owned both,...

I'm so glad I bit on that T3 bundle, no rebate deal. It was $188 then with $150 off no rebate = $38 for this lens, flip it on craigslist for $150, and I've got an extra $110 in my pocket :woot:

Come on! This is a great lens for the price. I have a 70-200 F4 IS. Yes, it is a better lens. But is it worth 5 times the cost of this one? The 55-250 has IS which is very good at this price point.
