ihave canon d1000 slr with the stock lens ie 18-55mm.....
i was thinking of buying a new lens.... preferably telephoto zoom type......
i am thinking about two in particular

Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS II Lens - Canon: Flipkart.com

Canon EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III Lens - Canon: Flipkart.com

cost isnt the issue with regards to these two......
please advice on which to go for

and happy new year to all

Price seems too expensive in flipkart. 55-250 was selling under 10k in ebay.

i dont trust ebay..... i might even get that lens from uncle whose cming from US! so i am confused on which model....

55-250 does have IS, will be helpful when you're shooting at tele end and this lens is also popular in FK

75-300 will fit in FF camera but doesn't have IS.

Take your pick. I am not a DSLR user, so it's better to hear from what DSLR users say about those two lens.

If you buy from US, do you get India warranty?

1st its better to gt 55-250 IS ...coz of IS off course

2nd US purchase have no warranty in India...soo be careful..its as good as bought without bill here in India.

What kind of photography do you do? If you need (or want) to use filters you can consider the new 55-250 STM lens which has a non-rotating front element.
The older 55-250 IS II is also a very good lens that is highly regarded by many users.
