Re: 55-250 for crop 70-200 for FF

This almost exactly mirrors my experience - had a 60D and 70-200 f4 L, got an SL1 and 55-250 for travel, got a 6D for non-travel use. I found that the L advantage in IQ was somewhat limited by the crop body. The only time I use the L on my SL1 is if I really need the 1 stop faster aperture more than the extra reach of 250 v. 200. I most recently did this at a niece's college graduation.
