would not that be apples and oranges??
...exactly my point.
Just an interesting comparison being that on crop sensor DSLR's the EF-S 55-250mm provides similar EFV(88-400mm) as the EF 100-400 would on a FF DSLR. For the purists, one would assume they would limit comparison to the "actual" focal lengths (100, 135 & 200) the two lenses have in common.
As to "apples and oranges":
- In a way yes as one would think the EF 100-400 "L" IQ would be superior to the EF-S 55-250 STM given that using the EF 100-400 "L" a crop sensor you're using the so-called "sweet-spot" of the lens. Hence at the corners the EF 100-400 "L" should be much better than the EF-S 55-250 STM.
- Yes it I had did a EF-S 55-250 STM and 60D vs. 100-400 "L" and 1Ds Mark II; i.e., two entirely different sensors.
The EF-S 55-250 STM also holds up quite well to 70-200 4 "L"i.e., closer similar zoom focal range.
