Hey all,
So I'm looking at picking up the Canon 55-250 IS as my new telephoto. I like the sharpness I've been seeing in photos taken with it, and I trust Canon lenses. I'm primarily picking it up to do wildlife photography (including some bugs perhaps, dragonflies, etc), but it occurred to me that I might as well ask if any of you had suggestions on any other lenses with similar focal lengths and sharpness? IS of some form is basically a must. What I'm looking at is a max price range of $250, so I know my options are quite limited from that standpoint alone, but I'm open to hearing suggestions you might have!
P.S: Please no focal lengths below 50mm, I'm not looking for an all-purpose lens, just one that performs well at wildlife photography
