Cardinal in the snow.
EF-S 55-250 at 171 mm, 1/320 sec at f/5.6, ISO 800, polarizing filter.

My mother-in-law gave me this lens after her camera got stolen, and I like it quite a bit for an inexpensive lens. With a 1.6 x crop body, you get a nice boost on the telephoto end, so 250 = 400mm. And I am happy with the IQ.

I'm a photographer for my school's newspaper. It's volunteer, and I have no formal training, I've only learned by doing. I use this lens for 90% of my pictures. These are some of my best shots. I think this is really an over-performing lens for the money.

I find this lens a bit slow both in terms of aperture and AF for me now, but i loved it when i got... it is a great lens to get started on and great value. Good for travel as it is small light and versitile... I managed to get a good bird in flight shot, but this is one of 10 misses.
