Default How is Canon EF-S 55-250mm IS f4-5.6 like?

Has anyone one used this lens? What is it like in terms of quality? Any comments?

It seems to be a sharp good quality lens.

IS work wonders.
In fact im already tempted to use it as a Prime lens in it's widest end,if not for the 1.1m MFD.

The IS for the 55-250 is 4 stop,which allow you to take up to 1/5 on the 55mm end w/o having blur.Success rate is not 100% though.

Thank you. I searched for it initially but could not find. I searched fro 55-250, and 55-250 mm.

After reading your post, I searched for canon 55-250 and found it. Thanks.
