About this model
The Canon EF-M 55-200mm f/4.5-6.3 IS STM is a lightweight telephoto zoom designed for Canon's EOS M mirrorless system. It covers a versatile 55-200mm range, equivalent to 88-320mm on a full-frame camera, making it suitable for portraits, wildlife, sports and travel. The built-in optical image stabilisation compensates for up to 3.5 stops of camera shake, helping you shoot handheld at longer focal lengths. The STM stepping motor provides smooth, quiet autofocus that is well suited to video recording, and full-time manual focus is available. Its compact design makes it easy to carry, and the lens accepts 52mm filters.
