Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS II Lens for Digital SLR Cameras USA

I got a new Nikon D5100. If this lens was for Nikon I would have got it.

This is a great price for 200 mm lens, i would definitely buy if it had been Nikon. cause I am a nikon guy

I have this lens and $149 is a great price (most won't need to consider tax as well).

One thing to keep in mind with focal lengths is that you need to multiple by a factor of 1.6 for an accurate field of view on digital (since this is an EF-S lens, it won't fit full on full frame SLR's like the Canon 5D). So effectively you're getting 400mm at the long end with image stabilization which makes this a very compact and useful tele to have around.

Image quality isn't up to L standards of course, but it is quite acceptable for the price and much better than average. I prefer it over the normal Canon 70-300 IS lens which I sold after getting this one. Pick up the Canon 50mm 1.8 while you're at it and along with the kit lens, you'll have quite the versatile setup.

to bad i dont have a dslr camera yet but this looks like a good price

That's a great price for a telephoto. This one goes from 55mm which is more or less a normal lens out to 250mm, a nice telephoto. Around 130mm is what is considered a portrait lens. Good price for a Canon. Plussed.
