Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS - Nifty Two-Fifty

Funny thing is this lens has become my walk around and outdoor portrait lens. I love my 50mm, can't wait to get my Tammy 17-50 to replace the 18-55, but there is something special about this lens.

I know what you mean, i always think mine has a little something special about it (although im not sure exactly what it is, i think its magic or voo-doo )
On a side note, youl love the tammy too, i got 1 very recently and ive fallen inlove with it

These photos were taken at Pearson (YYZ) airport in Toronto.
There are a couple of landing approaches over commercial business parks where the aircraft come in really close overhead and alllow pretty good shots with the 55-250.
