Reddit take

Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.

Pros

  • the 55-250 will do great on R100 autofocus..
  • I'm going to be buying myself a longer lens, probably 55-250 since it's cheap, which will help tremendously.
  • 55-250 is probably your cheapest option that’s actually good.
  • For budget, the 55-250 is amazing.
  • im a begginer my self and find the 55-250 to be a lot of fun!!

Cons

  • although the 55-250 may be best dependant on what photography you’ll be doing.
  • I’ve done some research and know the benefit of the 55-250 of lighter weight and smaller, and better price compared with the 70-200.
  • That 55-250 is a crappy version.
  • The 18-55 and 55-250 are fine starter lenses, but the quality of the glass is basically on par with the glass in your Tammy.
  • the decision to not use the ef to rf adapter is with my current telephoto lens the 55-250 is so soft but also its like 10 years old tbh, along with the fact that there's a weird gaussian blur effect in a lot of images

55-250 is the popular lens to get. It’s affordable and sharp for what it is. Ensure you purchase the STM variant.
