Those who have 55-200, was it worth getting the 55-250?

The Canon EFS 55-200 mm EFS IS STM is perhaps the best budget lens ever made. Make sure you buy the STM version since it blows away the older models BOTH in sharpness and focusing speed. See Christopher Frost's review here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N5wZAvUmPUA

NOTE!!! Canon is literally giving the lens away for $99. Grab one before it is gone. While the lens is called by Canon to be "refurbished," I think they are new, or as close to new as you will find. I bought one just recently for my M50 and M6 II, as well as my 80 D.

This lens is a real steal at $99. See it here if it is still around: https://www.usa.canon.com/shop/p/refurbished-ef-s-55-250 mm-f-4-5-6-is-stm
