Hm, absolutely not my experience. This lens was was a stellar performer n my APS-C cameras.

If it's wise to invest in an EF-S lens or APS-C Canon SLR with the transition to mirrorless going on, is of course an other question.

you see, ef-s lenses are designed for guys with flat wallets--so we can discuss all we want, ef-s lenses will never be able to compete with canon "L" lenses' performance any investment in ef-s lenses with set you right behind the 8 ball sorry if you disagree with me.

Yet ever time a crop shooter asks about a telephoto and brings up wanting/considering an L lens they're told to just get the EF S 55-250 because it's just as good. Kinda contradicts your statement.

it doesn't contradict my statement but rather sounds to me like bad advise! if the person that took that suggestion and bought the efs 55-250, one day when he buys a FF camera, that 50-255 would be useless on his FF camera! i would never want to listen to those kind of suggestions! so that is not contradiction of my statement, i don't see it that way.

i have never had efs or 3rd party jellybean lenses since i got series with canon DSLR gear (5D/24-105) because they were cheesy and still are--i'd buy "L" lenses or wait and save until i can afford the "L" lens i want.
