Pros

  • The EF-S 55-250 would be in your range and a reasonable choice.
  • EF-S 55-250 : A very solid all-rounder and it's always has been praised for its price
  • The EF-S 55-250 is a great lens for car photography.
  • Some of my all time best shots were taken with it and an adapted EF-S 55-250.
  • It's a good lens just wish I could get some more reach

Cons

  • The ef-s 55-250 is for crop sensors and will force the RP in cropmode, meaning they'll lose a lot of MP.
  • The EF-S 55-250 is not a wildlife lens. Its more like a general purpose telephoto.
  • All versions of the 75-300 are a must avoid unless you are desperate and can't afford the ef-s 55-250.
  • Well, I’ve got an EF-S 55-250 that I’ve inherited, but I can’t seem to shoot clear thru the wires, given the smaller aperture values of the more affordable lens.
