Re: EF-S 18-55 f3.5-5.6 IS STM & EF-S 55-250 f4-5.6 IS STM vs EF-S 18-135 f3.5-5.6 IS STM

For the type of photography that I do and what I can afford, the two lens plan worked well for me.  I use the Canon 18-55 and 55-250mm IS lenses on two separate Canon DSLR cameras. Eventually, I'll get other lenses. But the two of them are a good combination to have, because they are affordable, good quality and are relatively lightweight. Here's my latest pictures with the Canon 55-250mm IS lens.

Mine are both the non-STM lenses.  I understand that the STM lenses are supposed to be better optically, especially the Canon 55-250mm IS STM lens (looking at the MTF charts).

If you want to see more of my samples, just look at my "Show Your Snaps" pictures that I post weekly on the Rebel forum.  I've been doing that for about two years.
