Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS II Review

Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS II: Test and review

 Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS II vs Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 ISComparing both lenses on a Canon EOS 7D, we see a small advantage for the Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS II — a DxOMark score of 8, 2 points more than its predecessor. This difference doesn’t come from the resolution: with a score of 42lp/mm and 44 lp/mm, for the 2 lenses, the sharpness didn’t improve. The distortion and vignetting are also identical.But the transmission of the new model is on average 1/3 stop brighter. And the chromatic aberrations are better controlled in the corners at
