This lens is the perfect companion to the new Canon EOS M50 camera. Instant focus, razor sharp, and light in weight. Great for a senior citizen like me. Thanks B&H for the great deal.

* Focal length of 200mm (35mm equivalent of 320mm), using an EOS M series digital camera. Conforms to CIPA standards.

Canon EOS M owners aren't exactly blessed with choices. If you are interested in tele-zoom lenses, there is exactly one - the Canon EF-M 55-200mm f/4.5-6.3 STM IS. Seems as if Canon wants to give you a communist feeling here. It is quite affordable but, consequently, also quite slow.

I have been using this lens to pull in images I had been wanting to get. From remote farm houses in scenic valleys, to herds of elk. I am very pleased with this lens.

The lens arrived early and was well packaged and protected. It is exactly as described and certainly enhances the capabilities of the Canon M3 at a reasonable price.

The compact size requirements of lenses dedicated to the EOS M series of cameras mean large aperture, super speed lenses just aren't in the recipe. Despite this short-coming, my EF-M 55-200mm f/4.5-6.3 IS STM knocks my socks off! Tack-sharp and beautiful color rendition. Just hold it rock steady ...

Mirrorless camera bodies are often quite compact, but when you attach a longer lens to them that size advantage is diminished. The Canon EF-M 55-200mm f/4.5-6.3 IS STM ($349.99) is one of the smaller telezooms available for APS-C mirrorless systems.

Good center sharpness; Compact design; Image stabilization
