I'll 2nd the 55-250 STM. It pairs nicely with the SL-1. If they're in the US, try to get one for Canon's Refurb store. Good as new with a 1 year warranty.

Absolutely the 55-250STM! It is a steal. Light, scharp, pretty Quick to focus with the SL1.

My advice is to use the hood. And it makes for a nice on the go telezoom macro with the raynox DCR250 or DCR 150.

Thanks all for the input. I think the EF 70‑300 II NanoUSM at $500+ is a bit pricey for the incremental difference between some others.

Between the two options below I'm inclined to recommend the 55-250mm with STM as the best choice. Agree?

EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III Refurbished: $138.99

EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS STM Refurbished $239.99

The EF 75-300 is not a good lens.  Avoid it.
