Re: Advice about telephoto lens for Canon Rebel

The Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS STM is the lens I recommend. Also, I recommend buying a used one off ebay from a reputable seller. They can be picked up there for $100-$120. This way if she doesn't treat this lens well you haven't lost much dollar wise. I bought my copy of this lens used and it works like new. The link below is one I found on ebay after a quick search. The seller has been an ebay member since 1999 and has a 100% feedback rating on 855 items.  If I were looking to buy this lens I would feel comfortable going after it since it is listed as an unopened refurbished lens.  ebay has good systems in place to get refunds from bad transactions if it occurs.  Especially if you use Paypal.
