Re: Comparing EF-S 55-250mm STM vs EF 70-200mm f/4L pictures

I sold my 55-250 STM when I bought 70-200 f/4 IS. I bought 55-250 STM again(grey market, new, $110) and took it to the trip to Kauai few weeks ago. I planned to take 6D+24-70 f/2.8 II with 70-200 f/4 IS(with 80D) but ended up taking M5 + 55-250 STM.

Bottom line is "Images from 55-250 STM are good enough for me". I'm not pro photographer. IQ and color from 55-250 STM is more than I expected and I'm fine with it.

70-200 f/4 IS is/should be better than 55-250 STM but I'm happy with 55-250 STM.

So, my 70-200 f/4 IS is on sale now.
