Review Of The Canon 2044B002 Telephoto Lens

By Patrice McCoy


This article is written for the budding professional photographer or the photo enthusiast who wants to get more out of his or her hobby. You may already have a Canon EOS model and want to play around with the different lenses that can fit on it to make it more fun and exciting. A good option to make things more interesting is to purchase the Canon 2044B002 telephoto lens.

This telephoto lens usually comes bundled with the newer Canon EOS models as a come on for the prospective photographer or enthusiast. It can be purchased separately however and most people have done this. Do read on for some useful information on this fast becoming popular lens for the Canon camera series.

A first real advantage in purchasing this unit is the price tag. For something less than two hundred dollars on average, it is a great entry level piece of equipment for someone who wants to get into a wider range of photographic styles. It has a 50mm to 255mm focal length and is great for zoom shots. On top of this, it has a built in stabilizer that is an added bonus for the same kind of equipment of other brands, but at a cheaper price.

The manufacturers boast that with its powerful features it has retained its compact size and light weight. This was done in view of the demands of photographers on the field who would find the most use for this lens model. It actually weighs in at less than three hundred and thirty five grams, or roughly just under a pound. It has a diameter of around seventy millimeters and a length of one hundred and eight millimeters, or just a little over four inches in length.

The 70 mm diameter lens is designed specifically for outdoor use, and there may be minor issues as to overall quality when used indoors. Its ability to get shots of as little as one fifteenth of a second due to its image stabilizer will be a boon for avid sports photographers who want to shoot the action as it happens. More advanced users will also find that it can give great image quality when doing other outdoor shots like landscapes and sceneries as well as the occasional wildlife photo shoot. It also does fairly well as a lens for nighttime shots as claimed by quite a few users.

In addition many have commented on its ease of use and interchangeability alongside its fast and accurate autofocus. This gives images greater quality with a good range of being able to zoom in and out when needed.

Others however do say that you get what you pay for. They say that the low price comes at a cost as they feel that the construction of the lens body is somewhat soft and flimsy. Others have commented that what others find as a fairly reasonable fast autofocus is really quite slow, alongside comments that the small aperture is something that needs to be improved.

No doubt the Canon 2044B002 Telephoto lens will have its supporters and detractors just like any other product out there, but in reality it really is a great beginner telephoto lens for those who want to start more advanced photographic techniques. All in all the lens is a great package at a good price, and will give you a feel of more advance photo opportunities without putting a hole in your pocket.
