Help out a newbie :) Which lens for Canon 400D?

(1/1)

Scottymon:
I've had a Canon 400D for a long time now and not really used it all that much, but the WRC is coming up to North Wales next month and I really feel like getting to grips with the camera and buying a half decent 55-250mm lens for it.

I've heard good reviews about the Canon 55-250 mm F/4-5.6 IS Lens, which can be had for little cash now... but my main question is:

Do I need the IS or IS II for my Canon 400D?

And is there anything wrong in getting a second hand one?  Because these can be had for pennies on eBay.

 :smiley:

Either will work.. im guessing that the II is the upgrade from I. So get the II if you can.

Scottymon:
Cheers Rich, sounds good, the reason I ask is because I read "somewhere" that one wasn't compatible with a certain Canon series of cameras and that's where my doubt grew.

Defo will go for a IS II if it's all good with the 400d, cheers. :happy2:
