I'd get mine at Adorama, Amazon or Ritz. It helps me keep adding this site when you get yours from these links, thanks! Ken.

Canon announced this lens along with the new Canon 40D, on August 20th, 2007. This lens looks like the perfect tele zoom for the Rebel XSi, Rebel XTi and budget-minded 40D users.
The Canon 55-250mm EF-s is an inexpensive ($300 - 249 Euros) basic lens which adds image stabilization (IS), which I consider to be mandatory for sharp photos, hand held, at telephoto settings. This is the first Canon tele ever at this price with IS, and it focuses close: 3.6' (1.1m) at all focal lengths.
As an EF-s lens, it will only work on the 40D, 30D, 20D, 20Da (astronomical), Digital Rebel XSi, Digital Rebel XTi, Digital Rebel XT and the original Canon Digital Rebel. It will not work on film, it will not work on professional 1.3x cameras, and it certainly won't work on full-frame digital.
THIS COMES WITH FRONT AND REAR CAPS . PERFECT CONDITION .
