Re: Difference between Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS and IS II

I'm trying to choose between the IS II version and the IS STM one.

But the price gap is wider. The price for an used (like new) IS II is $75 compared with $130 for a refurbished IS STM lens.

Is the price difference right? Would I get almost double the quality with the STM lens? I would probably use it mostly for photography.
