Hi! I have an eos m3 with a 18-55mm which I like very much. Most of my photos are in the 55 position and I search for a tele for street photography (from a safe distance). Do you recommend this lense?

Thank you.

If you are happy with the 18-55 you will like the 55-250. I own both and I find that the image quality of the 55-250 is much better than the 18-55. I still regularly use the 55-250 due to it's long reach and small size - it's my go-to telephoto for backpacking. I don't do street photography, but this should work for that - autofocus is very fast and accurate (at least with my Eos 80D).
