is the second lens the Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4.0-5.6 IS II Telephoto Zoom Lens a STM lens too?

55-250mm is not STM, but provides an image stabilizer (IS), not a bad lens to start with, then again it depends what you're using it for.

I will try to answer this for you .. In the late 1970s, Canon developed special optical glass lens elements with very low dispersion index called Ultra-low Dispersion (UD) glass lens elements, and in 1990s an upgrade version of UD glass is called Super UD. STM stands for Stepper Motor and is a applied to a new range of Canon lenses which feature a new design of focus motors which, along with a new iris mechanism are designed to eliminate (auditory) noise during video recording. The IS TTM version also used UD glass and is basically silent when focusing. The STM is a newer version.. Hope this helps !!!

Hello! Canon has two new versions of Canon EF 700-200 f/2.8 USM. Both with image stabilization ( Canon EF 700-200 f/2.8 IS I USM and Canon EF 700-200 f/2.8 IS II USM). There is a new third lens with similar feature, but with F/4 of aperture (Canon EF 70-200mm f/4L IS USM Lens). So I called as "old version" or a "basic version".

Yes. Canon does their best to make all their EOS cameras use the same lenses. Some features on new lenses (like the continuous AF of the STM lenses) won't work on the older bodies, but the lens will fit and work like any other lens you've used with single shot AF.

I have the 18-135mm STM lens and if your planning to do any video shooting its a better buy hands down! I use this lens daily! I also have the 40mm STM lens the STM version is quiet and it seems to work best with the Canon DSLR's

Actually I find out the the much cheaper Canon 55-250mm IS lens which is on sale today for 144 bucks does a superb job of taking portraits as well. You can set it to 100mm to get equivalent of this lens (of course you can't go down to f2.8 but for your situation you don't want to) also you get an excellent telephoto lens - just not a MACRO lens but again that's not what you're looking for. I would save my 300 bucks and get that lens instead - I can tell you as i have both these lenses.

Is this the one? Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 USM Standard & Medium Telephoto Lens for Canon SLR Cameras - FixedIt's 58mm

To the best of my knowledge all non-STM motors result in lens noise while recording. The other review sounds like they were confusing the full time manual (FTM) focus feature of most USM lenses as somehow creating more noise than non-FTM lenses, not true. STM lenses are specifically engineered to have a slower more controlled AF while recording video, thus producing less noise than all other Canon lenses.

I had both! The STM is the superior of the two IMHO for three reasons - sharper (clearer pictures) in general, silent focusing for video and a nice focal length as a follow on from the 18-55 kit lens.I tend to pixel peep to a certain degree, so the STM is the one in my bag. It is a bit unwieldy on the SL1, but manageable! Very useful.

kcidybom is absolutely correct. I have only one thing to addWhile Canon brand lenses are relatively quiet when focusing, you may hear it focusing when taking videos with your SL1. Canon is bringing out a new line of "STM" lenses that are supposed to be designed to focus more quietly, therefore no added 'noises' to videos. Canon SL1 kits may include a new "STM" lense or might include other older Canon lenses like the EF28-135mm f3.5-5.6. Canon SL1 kits are available with EF-S 18-55mm IS STM , 3.5-5.6 IS STM Lens, or both STM lenses.That said, the EF28-135mm f3.5-5.6 is still a very good choice for any EOS Rebel. kcidybom is absolutely correct.

You would get all the improvements in this lens using the T4i, T5i or 70D since they have the compatible hardware (new AF focus system). However, you will feel the difference in speed with the STM lens. I've got both lenses, the II IS and the STM. I'm definitely happy with the STM lens mounted on my T3i.

It depends on the lens. In US market, there are only two lenses available: EF-M 18-55mm with zoom 55/18=3, and EF-M 22mm (a prime lens).

It seems like it would work on the Canon EOS 300d. Canon's website states that the 300 takes the EF lens and had autofocus, so it should work fine. Although I bought the lense for video recording, because the STM is made to be quieter when focusing, which makes no difference when taking pictures, only when recording video because the internal microphone picks up the sound.

Yes. This is the case I use with my Canon SL1 with the 18-55 IS STM Lens. Fits perfectly!

You need EF mount lenses. EF-S mount lenses will not fit this teleconverter. In general, teleconverters are a bad idea unless you use them with very high quality lenses. The converter will magnify any flaws the lens already has. It would be more cost effective to buy a longer prime lens than trying to use a teleconverter on any lens with a maximium focal length less than 100mm. You would also be better off just cropping your shots from a telephoto lens that has a maximum aperture narrower than f/2.8 or f/4. Since any 2X converter doubles the effective focal length, it also increases the maximum aperture by two stops. An f/4 lens becomes an f/8 lens. An f/5.6 lens becomes an f/11 lens and so on. An inexpensive telephoto lens such as a 70-300mm f/4-5.6 becomes an effective 140-600 f/8-11. Most Canon bodies disable auto focus any time a lens or lens/converter combo with maximum aperture narrower then f/5.6 is mounted. The 1D series wil allow auto focus to function up to f/8.

No, the 1.4 and/or 2.0 extenders are not compatible with the Canon EFS 55-250mm lens.
