  • Great camera đŸ“· lens
I'm new at this camera thing, yes 71yrs. You can only channel surf so long. Got ahold of this old digital Rebel 300D. Don't asked! I bought this lens "used, refurbished ". Wow, WOW this lens looks, acts brand new. Taken a few shots around the house. Perfect. About to spend 2wks in the Eastern Sierras of California. Will do a follow-up 😁 Hey everyone, this is a SBA owned. ... show more

  • Reasonably priced Canon USA Refurb Zoom Lens
Purchased a refurbished Canon T5 last June with two (2) kit lenses. The standard EF-S 18-55mm IS lens and a telephoto EF 75-300mm III USM non-IS lens. The later was one I never really warmed up to. Let's call it like we see it -- I.Q. was and is not up to Canon expectations. Read any serious review and see for yourself. I also missed image stabilization, especially at longer telephoto zoom lengths, like I had on my old FujiFilm S100FS. Full zoom, no problem! Came across this lens on Amazon couple days ago. I'm getting ready for a quick cross country drive and I wanted this lens to replace my EF 75-300mm lens on this trip. Best part, the price was right. What I like: * Right off the bat -- a true Canon USA Certified Refurbished lens was in the box * USA warranty by Canon -- one (1) year from date of purchase * Registered this lens on Canon USA website -- serial number took and registered it to my Canon USA account * The overlay sticker on the box - certified refurbished - New (whatever that means?) * Sticker underneath was a factory Canon refurb sticker with both Canon barcodes * Enclosed was Canon refurb warranty paperwork disclosing the limited one (1) year Canon USA refurb warranty * When I opened the package, the contents had that new product smell * The lens was in absolutely perfect condition * Shipped in a Canon refurb brown (not white) box like other Canon lenses I purchased -- no damage to the outside of the box * Focus on my T5 was quick and silent * Front lens element does NOT rotate like other older Canon EF or EF-S lenses * Lightweight, 58 MM lens/filter opening * Made for a crop frame (APS-C sensor) Canon camera body (will not work on a full frame Canon camera) I have some doubts: * Plastic mounting flange between body and lens -- be carefull mounting it * Plastic body -- not weather sealed * It is not "L" lens quality, but for the price Too short of time to see how this lens will truly perform, but my quick test shots show that this lens at full zoom (250MM on the lens scale), inside the house with a 6/10th second @ f5.6 exposure came across great. There is some softness around my wall clock lettering, but nothing like my old EF 75-300mm lens that blurred the picture like a leaf blowing in the wind. Both were handheld shots. My test will come in a week or so. I will supplement my review after I have more field time with this lens. So far, so good. Stay tuned. ******* 5/04/2017 - Update I have had some time to use this lens, not as much as I thought I would, but still. Posting several pics for your consideration. One of the sun at full zoom (f5.6 @ 800 ISO for 1/80th sec.). Snipped a 100% crop to bring in what detail I could. The other was of the moon setting just after sunrise on Donners Pass in Truckee, CA. All were RAW pics post processed in DxO Optics Pro 9.5.2. Not the greatest, but something additional to see. This lens works great, but the auto focus didn't work well on the Sun picture. That was manually focused and manual focus works far better on this lens than my old Fujifilm S100FS ever did. ******* 04/29/2018 - Update It took long enough for me to post some additional pictures. I have not used this lens as much as I thought I would have. That being said, I dusted this lens off yesterday morning to shoot the April 2018 Mt. Charleston Marathon in N/W Las Vegas, NV. This refurb lens performed flawlessly throughout the entire shoot! The pictures I shot came out as expected. I performed no cropping, sharpening or noise reduction functions to any of these sample photos. All pictures were shot in RAW (CR2) format and post processed in DxO Optics Pro 9.5.2 only to taste. Further, the photo compression used by Amazon does NOT do these photographs any justice. I picked some finer detail objects to share with you regarding sharpness of this lens. IE: The box picture -- the labeling on my full size picture is clear and crisp, unlike the photo displayed on this site. Not the lens or my fault, just Amazon picture compression at work here. For a refurbished lens, Canon did an outstanding job turning out a very high quality product that you will be pleased to use. If you are skeptical about buying refurbished products -- don't be from Canon. Actual Canon refurbished products perform exactly like new products and Canon stands behind that product with a full one (1) year manufacturers warranty. ******* 10/27/2018 - Update I had another opportunity to use this lens this past week. Visited the Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area on the west side of Las Vegas. While in the parking lot, a number of gray ground squirrels were running under an SUV. Took a couple shots. I attach them for your review. At just about 100 feet away, under the SUV in deep shadows, you can see them . Notice the lettering on the rear tire. Crisp results from this refurb lens. ... show more

  • Great buy for a great EF-S lens!
A week ago I bought this at Best Buy.. I know.. I know.. I wayyy overpaid. I'm not sure why I did it either. I looked up this lens online and to my amazement found refurbished ones here on my favorite store (Amazon). I returned the one I got from best buy and ordered this. I'm just an amateur photographer and this lens is for my Rebel XS. I have to say that this is a much better price at $169 than $299 at best buy! So what is this lens? It's an EF-S 55-250mm lens with Image stabilization and an STM motor. It's very quiet as opposed to USM lenses. This makes it an ideal lens for shooting video. The image stabilization works well!. Because this is an EF-S (Crop sensor camera only) lens, it's effective focal lengths are actually 88-400mm. That's pretty awesome capability to be able to reach out to 400mm with decent optics for only $169. It's no L series lens by any means, but canon put this out for people who don't want to spend a fortune, yet you can still have some fun! I upgraded to full frame sensors awhile back and this suits my price point interest much better. I wanted this lens to have a little more fun with my XS and this gets me to that level. You can't tell this item is a refurbished lens in any way shape or form. I'm very analytical when it comes to scratches and cleanliness and this is a 10 out of 10. If anyone can sniff out a bait and switch or scam on a used item, it's me! This lens is for anyone with a Crop sensor camera.. Rebel XT, XTi, XSi, XS, T1, T2, T3, T4, T5, SL1, T6, and the 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 7D, and 80. Bottom line.. you can't go wrong.

  • A zoom lens I can truly count on while on a budget
I was wary of buying a used lens for I like buying most of my electronic devices new, but I am REALLY happy that I went and bought it! I researched other lenses and finally choice this one due to its price and I really wanted a zoom for I used to own the Canon Powershot sx60 hs and I truly miss the zoom it had since I know switched to a DSLR. To get a zoom you now have to go out and buy some really expensive lenses to get what I used to have. I noticed right away that the STM and IS on this lens worked wonders of NO sound while focusing and it is very quick to refocus on anything! It was just exactly what I wanted for I had been using my kit lens of 18-55mm since I got my camera last December. But I still use it even now with getting this new lens. I think for a beginner photographer I have the lenses that I need: 55-250mm zoom lens, 18-55mm kit lens and 24mm pancake prime lens. I have used it with my extension tubes and it works even more wonders where I can really zoom up closer on my subject. I will put in a picture of the extension tubes for they weren’t too expensive but well worth buying for those macro photographers out there starting off and that don’t want too spend too much they too are worth checking out! I got this lens mostly for my macro/close up photography that I do, I love getting up close but I also don’t want to disturb insects or other critters that scare off easily so using this lens and the extension tubes has truly met my expectations! No more having to stand so close. ... show more
