The Canon EF-S 55-250mm IS telephoto Zoom Lens is designed with Canon’s Optical Image Stabilizer technology while retaining compactness and lightness. This high zoom ratio lens is equivalent to a focal length of 88-400mm in the 35mm format (when used on Canon EOS cameras compatible with EF-S lenses), and the image stabilizer effect equivalent to a shutter speed about 4 stops faster than the same size lens without Image Stabilizer. If the slowest shutter speed you could formerly hold a 250mm lens steadily was 1/250th of a second, Canon’s 4-stop stabilization correction, you could hand-hold at shutter speeds as slow as 1/15th of a second. It also uses a UD-glass lens element to correct chromatic aberration for excellent image quality throughout the zoom range.
The Hoya Ultraviolet UV Filter absorbs ultraviolet rays that often make outdoor photographs hazy and indistinct. It should be constantly fitted to a lens to provide improved clarity and color balance, as well as to provide additional protection.
The Precision Design ET-60 Lens Hood is primarily designed to prevent unwanted stray light from entering the lens by extending and shading the end of the lens. In addition, since the end of the lens is extended, you also get the added benefit of extra impact protection.
The LensPen’s unique design makes cleaning your lens fast, simple and effective. On one end, a retractable soft brush sweeps dust and loose particles away from the glass. On the other end, a special dry cleaning compound is used to gently remove fingerprints and spots.
This 6-piece cleaning kit contains a hurricane air blower, Lens Cleaning Tissue, Lens Cloth, Lens Cleaning Liquid, Brush and Cotton Swabs.
Customer Review: Exactly what I wanted!
The lens is strong enough to get exceptional clarity and detail at a significant distance, but doesn’t overwhelm the close up shots. It is exactly what I was looking for. The company over-delivered by shipping the product immediately and exceeded my expectations on quality and delivery.
I was just ruminating - everything in my life came about because of my own choices. Everything! From the chair in the house I chose, to the climate in the state I chose to live in, to the book lying beside my bed. I even chose to marry the girl I met at the odd college I chose when I was 18.
My wife somehow thinks it’s fate - why else would a New Haven boy go all the way out to Cincinnati to study Philosophy and Writing, and by chance be struck by one of thousands of girls at Xavier University, struck enough to spend over 25 years with her and father two beautiful, smart kids?
Now, cool modern John Cusack/Hugh Grant films call it serendipity; Wisdom Teachers call it Fate and Kismet. I call it Life Experience based on choice. If we are free at all, and if freedom matters, then we are at least free to choose. I created a picture years ago; I was going to be a writer when I grew up. Well, I’m not world famous (yet), but I write, and you read (or at least line your garden or the trash cans with my words). I’m sure that if I chose to focus on writing I could advance it a bit.
But I chose to live in Connecticut, so I need lots of money (which seems scarce now, since someone else chose our current economy by choosing our current government). But hey, I’m a free man - I could sell everything tomorrow and live in a cabin in Maine - provide my own heat and shelter and food. I could write and spend next to nothing for the rest of my life! That’s freedom.
The point is that we all create our own lives. Sure, there are obstacles, unforeseen tragedies, but those just give us more options. You might think you’ve run out of options, but you never do. It’s just that one option is to be poor for a while. But then you can create a way to build yourself back up.
Choosing is all about Hope - hope that you can create a life you can experience to the full (notice I didn’t say “create a life that’s easy”). I think we fall into despair when Hope is hidden, or when our choices will lead to dramatic changes (like selling the house). But you know that in short time you can choose to become a success again. Your greatest gift is your freedom to create a life for yourself, and to start over and over, if you need to.
A Creator brings something into being that doesn’t exist. I was staring at the Spire on the Old Stone Church today. It seems like someone is going to scrape and paint it. Honestly I have no idea how anyone can get ladders that high without scaffolding. Then my mind kicked in and began devising ways I could make it work. Of course, not being an engineer, my solutions would probably end as well as the Hindenburg (floating something ABOVE the tower was one of my solutions!), but you see that someone would create a new system out of necessity.
We Creators do the same with our lives every day. Can’t pay all the bills this month? You can find a way to solve that problem. Car broke down? You’ll find a way. Son suddenly getting married at 21? Life changes, and somehow all this has been put into motion by you - YOU live here now, and have this and that, and do what you do, because you chose to have all this at this time. Problems are just unforeseen by-products of your more recent choices.
Knowing this, I see nothing but Hope and Good Decisions for us All! We are all Creators of Life!
