Re: Upgrading from a Rebel T3i to T6s~Upgrade the lens? Wildlife shooting is the goal.

Agree that the 55-250 is great value. About two years back, my son and I had the opportunity for a Kenyan safari. I loaned him my T2i + 55-250mm, and I used a 6D with a 70-200 2.8. I was quite surprised to find that, maybe, 85% of the images were indistinguishable between the two systems.

There are lots of caveats in my observation: rarely low-light circumstances, etc. So, while I'm probably overly fond of my 6D, the T2i was clearly capable of capturing impressive images using the 55-250mm.
