Canon Rebel lenses

I recently bought a canon rebel t5. I have an 18-55 lens (the basic lens the rebel comes with). I'm Looking for one with better zoom and maybe faster shutter speeds. Any recommendations that won't break the bank?

Zoom is fairly inexpensive by itself. I got this for my 70D and like it. $299

Getting faster shutter speeds at the same time is where you're going to bleed cash. Expect to spend at least double or triple that on a new lense with less zoom but 2.8 fixed aperature.

Yep, 55-250 is the best you're going to get in that price range.
Your realistic next step up would be the Canon 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS for $650
or the
Tamron 70-300mm f/4-5.6 VC for $450.
They're debatable in image quality, many prefer the build and sharpness of the Tamron vs. the focus speed of the Canon. Can see comparison here.

I have the 55-250 and I'm pleased with it. I got it for $150 as part of the deal when I bought my 70D.
I've got a few lenses.
55-250 kit lens
18-135 kit lens
50mm STM f/1.8
24mm STM f/2.8
My next lens is still TBD but it will be a higher quality lens with a fast aperture for low light shooting. I need to use these more to figure out what type of photography I prefer before I invest in any more equipment.
