Wide Zoom Range (10-22mm)
The 10-22mm focal length offers a true ultra-wide-angle perspective, perfect for capturing expansive landscapes, cityscapes, architecture, and tight interior spaces. On APS-C cameras, the effective focal length is approximately 16-35mm due to the crop factor.
2. Aperture (f/3.5-4.5)
The lens features a variable aperture, with f/3.5 at the 10mm wide end and f/4.5 at the 22mm end. While not a constant aperture, it provides a bright enough opening for wide-angle shots in most lighting conditions.
3. Ultrasonic Motor (USM)
The USM (Ultrasonic Motor) delivers fast, accurate, and nearly silent autofocus. This is particularly useful for video recording, where silent autofocus is important for smooth audio, and it also helps in ensuring quick focusing for still photography.
4. Optical Design
The lens incorporates advanced lens coatings and optics that help minimize chromatic aberrations, distortion, and flare. This ensures sharp, clear, and high-quality images even at wide apertures and at the extreme ends of the zoom range.
5. Compact and Lightweight
Despite being an ultra-wide zoom lens, the EF-S 10-22mm is relatively compact and lightweight, making it an excellent choice for travel, handheld shooting, or as part of a lightweight lens kit.
6. Minimum Focusing Distance (9.4 inches / 24 cm)
The lens has a short minimum focusing distance, allowing you to capture wide-angle close-up shots, making it great for environmental portraits or creative wide-angle compositions with subjects close to the camera.
7. Circular Aperture (7 Blades)
The seven-blade circular aperture helps create smooth and aesthetically pleasing background blur (bokeh), which can be useful in isolating subjects from their background when shooting at close range.
8. Compatible with APS-C Sensor Cameras
This lens is designed for APS-C sensor Canon DSLR cameras, where it provides a focal length equivalent to approximately 16-35mm, making it ideal for wide-angle photography on these bodies.

Zoom Range (55-250mm)
The 55-250mm focal length provides a flexible zoom range, ideal for photographing distant subjects like wildlife, sports, and nature, as well as providing excellent compression for portraits.
2. Image Stabilization (IS)
Built-in Image Stabilization helps reduce camera shake and blurring, especially in low-light conditions or at longer focal lengths. It allows for sharper handheld shots, improving the chances of a clear image even at slower shutter speeds.
3. STM Autofocus
Canon’s Stepping Motor (STM) technology delivers smooth, fast, and nearly silent autofocus, making it especially useful for video recording where quiet autofocus operation is essential. It also ensures quick subject tracking in still photography.
4. Compact and Lightweight Design
Despite its extended zoom range, the EF 55-250mm is lightweight and compact, making it easy to carry and handle for long periods, which is especially beneficial for travel and outdoor shooting.
5. Optimized for APS-C Sensor Cameras
This lens is ideal for Canon APS-C DSLR cameras, where it provides an effective focal length of approximately 88-400mm (due to the 1.6x crop factor), making it suitable for even more distant subjects.
6. High Optical Quality
The lens uses advanced optical elements to minimize distortions like chromatic aberration and ghosting, ensuring high-quality, sharp images with vibrant colors and minimal optical flaws.
7. Circular Aperture
The lens has a seven-blade circular aperture, which helps produce smooth, natural-looking bokeh (background blur), making it useful for portraits and creative photography.
8. Close Focusing Distance
The lens has a relatively short minimum focusing distance, allowing you to get closer to your subject for more detailed shots, useful for both macro-style close-ups and general telephoto photography.
9. Compatibility
The EF 55-250mm lens is compatible with Canon’s full-frame and APS-C DSLR cameras, though it is especially well-suited for APS-C models where the crop factor effectively extends its reach.

1:1 Magnification for True Macro Photography
The lens offers a true 1:1 magnification, enabling you to capture life-size images of small subjects. This is a crucial feature for macro photography, allowing you to photograph insects, flowers, textures, and other tiny details in their natural size and sharpness.
2. L-Series Build Quality
As part of Canon’s renowned L-series, the lens is built with a professional-grade, durable construction. It features weather-sealing to resist dust and moisture, making it suitable for use in harsh environments, whether you’re shooting outdoors or in unpredictable conditions.
3. Optical Image Stabilization (IS)
The built-in Image Stabilization helps reduce the effects of camera shake, especially when shooting at high magnifications or slower shutter speeds. It’s particularly helpful for handheld macro photography, ensuring clearer, sharper images without the need for a tripod in many situations.
4. Ultrasonic Motor (USM) for Fast and Quiet Autofocus
The Ultrasonic Motor (USM) ensures fast, precise, and quiet autofocus, which is important for both macro work and video shooting. The autofocus system allows for smooth transitions between subjects without disturbing the scene, making it great for capturing detailed close-ups or shooting quietly in nature.
5. Advanced Optical Design
The lens incorporates a sophisticated optical design that includes one UD (Ultra-low Dispersion) element, which reduces chromatic aberrations and ensures sharp, high-contrast images. The lens also delivers excellent color reproduction and clarity even when shooting wide open at f/2.8.
6. Rounded 9-Blade Aperture for Smooth Bokeh
The nine-blade rounded aperture contributes to beautiful, smooth background blur (bokeh), which is ideal for portraiture and subject isolation. The creamy bokeh enhances your subject’s presence and helps create a pleasing, natural look in out-of-focus areas.
7. Minimum Focusing Distance of 0.99 ft (30 cm)
With a minimum focusing distance of just 30 cm, the lens is capable of capturing incredible close-up details. It allows you to get up close to your subject, making it perfect for photographing small objects like insects, flowers, or textures with exceptional clarity
