Quality


I am pleased with the purchase of this lens


I am extremely pleased with the buy from this seller


The picture quality is great anything from closeups of dragon flies to distant bird photos


To get a 250 zoom made with the quality of 135 you have to step up a few hundred dollars

Price


Price is a big factor though since the f4 is is 300450 usd more expensive than the 55250mm


So for what this lens cost i think it’s a fair compromise


Since i am sure this lens will keep coming down in price i mention it as an option


Because of the price being so low i wouldn’t sweat the warranty too much

Shipping


They had packaged the item very well for shipping and i was extremely pleased with them


Auto focus is fast as i would expect

Packaging/appearance


Arrived in good packaging and looked brand new


The pictures i attached above were taken on the 24mp apsc canon m50 mark ii and then cropped from the larger images


Was wrapped in plastic and sealed in a box

Competitiveness


If you must have a warranty 300 usd is still a fair price and is still a bargain compared to pricier models


No lens hood is included and the canon version is expensive i suggest promaster hoods


For the amateur photographer it’s not worth the money


These are all in the under 1000 usd category which makes them direct competitors to each other
