Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS - Anyone tried this lens?

I'm seriously considering getting a Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS. I don't currently have a telephoto zoom and although I would dearly love a 70-200L, I can't see me being able to afford one at any point in the near (or far

) future.

I've had a good look around at what's available and trawled the review sites. This lens gets incredibly good reviews for what is essentially a pretty cheap lens and I can get it brand new from a trusted source for <£200.

I was just wondering if anyone has actually tried this lens and if so, what were their thoughts?
