• I quite fancy a tele lens for the crop camera - makes sense to make the most use of the added reach the small(er) sensor offers.

    Is the 55-250 STM worth a punt @Vesalius?

    Would love something in the 400mm range but the only options are full-blown EF L series white lenses that cost an arm and a leg.

    Does anyone do crop-specific tele primes?

  • The 55-250 is said to be very very good in the latest STM version (new optical design), it has IS and it's = to 400mm on the crop sensor.

    I was going to buy one myself but had also heard good things about the EF 70-210 f3.5, and older lens without IS but it is good for full frame too. I saw a mint one and took a punt on it. Initial results look great.

  • Nice one. I think I might take a punt on the 55-250 STM. It looks very good and is pretty cheap for what it is.

    Plastic mount though...
