The Canon website state that the &diams; 2) Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4.0-5.6 IS STM Zoom Lens will be available late September. Is that 2013 or 2014?

If you're referring to product code 8546B002 then it must be 2013 because we have plenty of that lens in stock and ready to ship.

just found this on the press release vailability The EOS Rebel T4i Digital SLR camera will be available at the end of June for an estimated retail price of $849.99 for the body alone; $949.99 bundled with an EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS II lens kit and a Movie Kit bundle for $1199.00 with the new EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM lens. The new EF 40mm f/2.8 STM lens and the new EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM will also be available separately at the end of June at an estimated retail price of $199.99 and $549.99 respectively.

Question doesn't say anything about usage of lens. 135 has the fastest focusing probably from all Canon EF lenses, it's sharp and produce shallow DOF. But it's fixed. The other two 24-70 and 24-104 are zooms = more versatile lenses. 24-70 is f2.8 what's advantage for focusing in a dark and produce shallower DOF than 24-105. 24-105 has extended range and IS. So if you need universal lens and you shoot a lot in dark conditions - 24-70 f2.8 If you travel a lot or you need longer end than 70mm and focusing speed isn't critical to you - 24-105 f4 If you need longer lens with fast focusing for concerts, headshoots, or you live in darker world - 135 f2 If your concern is technical quality you can't miss with any of them.

you seem to know alot Technology guy, so im replying to ya about a lens choice. Its the CanonEF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS for a 50D im purchasing but im not sure if its compatiable or will fit should I say, Because the 50D says its a EF mount and the rebels are EF-S mount. but since they say the 50D dont come with a lens that can take the use of the full power of the camera I wanted to get something I can afford and that lens i mentiond above is less than 300 usd. So please let me know if it works on the 50D without any problems thanks.

Nope. The "S" in "EF-S" tells you it's for APSC cameras only not full frame. It's for SL-1, The Rebels, 7D, and the XXd series like the 70D. The STM version of this lens is very nice, quite sharp. Its silent operation is what you want for video.

It's Canon's new EF-M Mount. There are only three lenses available right now: 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS, 11-22mm f/4-5.6 IS, and 22mm f/2. However, as with all mirrorless cameras, the major benefit of removing the mirror and moving the mount closer to the sensor, is that you can use adapters to attach almost any lens out there. You can get an adapter to use Nikon F mount lenses, or Canon EF and EF-S lenses, or just about any other brand out there (Pentax, Leica, Sony, C-Mount, etc.).

As near as I can tell it is the same. Note: Canon came out with a new version of the same 55-250 lens with an STM motor so the older IS II version can be found for a good price. I am happy with my 55-250 IS II.

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.

It will become available on or about 3/22...Given the fact that most ultrazooms tend to get shaky at far range of the zoom even with the image stablization built in to reduce it. I would have to read reviews before plunking down $429. I have owned ultrazooms put out by Panasonic Lumix and Olympus and they all have that problem. If this problem has been resolved and a tripod to steady the image is no longer necessary, I would consider buying it and adding it to my collection. Read the reviews first!

EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM...bar none the best workaround lens for cropped sensor camera. It's EF-S, but you shouldn't have any problem selling it when you upgrade to Full Frame.

Hi Technology Guy,I liked you responses to the questions asked by fellow buyers. You may find me moron asking this but I searched quite a bit on google but did not get any definite answer. Could you help me decide if it is wise to buy T3i (600D) with "Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS Telephoto Zoom Lens" and do not buy "EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Lens"? OR if I need to have both lenses to start with. Thanks in advance.

I have read that there is a "newer model" of the EOS M CAMERA the EOS M2. The info I picked up on the web is that the new model will not be available in Europe or the U.S. for some time, if ever. I have not heard anything about a new 22mLens. Any Canon EF Lens can be used with the EOS M camera by using an adapter.

Currently there is no adapter to use EOS-M lenses on a EF/EF-S lens mount camera's.I have recently emailed just such a request to Fotodiox, the company whose lens mount I use for mounting EF/EF-S lenses to my EOS-M camera. If they respond, I will update this answer.I currently have the four EOS-M lenses available(11-22, 22, 18-55 and the 55-200 mm). These are the STM type, ...which if you do any video, ...these are the lenses you want to use. It would really be nice if I could have the use of these lenses on my T5i.

No, sorry -- there are still no teleconverters available that will fit EF-S lenses like your 55-250mm.

Hi, for the SL1 I think you should get the EF-S 18-135 STM version. It's slightly sharper. Also, the 18-135 STM version is more versatile and has larger apertures on equivalent focal lengths versus the 18-135 non stm and 18-55.
