Compact, powerful telephoto zoom Taking you closer to the action, the EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS STM is the perfect companion for your EOS’s 18-55mm standard zoom lens, and ideal for wildlife, sports and travel photography.

For portrait photography, 50mm lenses are great for full-length and waist-level portraits, both on location and in the studio. This is thanks to the wide field of view compared to an 85mm or 135mm lens, and you don’t need to be too far away from the model to achieve these crops.
Which is a better lens 55 250 or 75 300?
The 55-250 IS is excellent value for money and a far superior buy than any 75-300 zoom. I have one and it compares quite well with far more expensive lenses. The 70-300 IS is potentially a better choice mainly for its longer reach but it costs much more and is bigger and heavier.
