Just a heads up for those that shoot Canon and may be interested in this lens for a good price with a free filter.
Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4.0-5.6 IS Telephoto Zoom Lens for Canon Digital SLR Cameras
$144 with free shipping and no sales tax to most states.
Same lens is $219 at B&H without the filter.
Yes, it most certainly is one of Canon's lower end lenses but at this price might be something worth looking into for those just starting out.
Today only while supplies last.
