Used Canon EF-M 55-200mm f/4.5-6.3 IS STM Telephoto Zoom Lens

I bought this lens a few months back and each photo is perfect!! The colors are outstanding and the focus is absolutely perfect! My photos have never been this clear and colorful! Of coarse my EOS M50 is excellent!

Super light weight. Has good clarity and very small. Much better for my M6 Mark ii body than using the adapter and my EF 70-300 lens. The lens is a bit slow and I was going to use for sports photography which didn't work out great but I'm just starting out so I didn't want to invest in a $2K lens and find out I have no ability or talent for sports photography. It works great for landscape and I enjoy that too. I recommend for the size, build quality and clarity. No chromatic aberrations at any length that I saw. Probably too slow and short for spectator sports photography.

I bought the EOS M50 a few weeks ago and ordered the EF-M 55-200 lens and had to wait for it was back ordered. I now have had both for about a week now and am learning to use them. I am very pleased with this camera and lens. What I like the most is the size and weight, which makes it easier to carry. I do a lot of walking and hiking and this camera gives me excellent pictures in a small easy to carry package. I love it.

Nice lens but kind of slow but it is what is available for canons new mirrorless cameras so you have to make do.

Looks the same as the picture. One of the key features I really like is the lens is not a heavy weight. This makes for easier transport and quicker set up.

Just got this lens but right off the bat I am impressed! The picture quality I’m able to get is great and for the price you can’t beat it! It’s very compact as it is native to the mirrorless body, perfect for travel and gives some extra reach which is great! Can’t wait to break it in a little more.

Great bundle package for the price. I received it on time and I’m happy with this lens kit because I can take care of it with the extra items for care. The only issue is the soft package is a little small for the 55-200 lens but I can use it to carry the 15-45 mm instead. I recommend this product.

This lens looks brand new. I used it on a recent trip to Hawaii and it worked exactly as I had hoped. A great addition to my camera!

I was skeptic of the performance of the M series. Till I got myself to purchase an M5 mirror-less camera. I also purchased the 55-200mm lens to go with it. This little lens puts out some quality pictures. The system is lightweight, easy to handle and very reasonably priced. I love it.

I bought this for my M50. It's my first (canon lens besides my kit lens. The STM motor is absolutely silent and the image stabilization is absolutely amazing. Even though the lens is refurbished, I absolutely can not tell that it is. It looks completely perfect, the zoom is smooth, focus is crisp. I've shot test photos both indoors and out and they are great

I purchased this 55-200mm a few weeks ago, and it is working out just fine. Good choice.

Purchased a Canon ESO M50 recently and wanted a zoom lens. Found one here refurbished and love it. Great pics of a family of bald eagles way off in their nest was my best catch yet.

The reviews of the lens are accurate. A little dark due to f4.5. Nice sharp images of a Canon M3. One minor thing missing is a switch to turn off auto focus. I like to do this a times to when the shots are similar distance and I don't want to camera to take time focusing in action situations.

I bought this with my M50 as part of the kit which included this 55-200 and the 15-45mm lens. Both are excellent, but the 55-200mm is my favorite. I love wildlife and landscape photography and have been really surprised by this lens over the last few weeks. Auto focus is very fast and accurate and I am getting much clearer pictures than from my previous setup. The clarity, features, and lightweight make this so easy to carry for longer excursions that I find myself leaving this one on more than the 15-45 in most situations I'm in. I even tried some photos of the moon last week with it and although small because of the lack of reach, they did come out extremely clear and bright once I found the correct settings for my location and the atmosphere. Taking my kids to the japanese gardens last weekend also produced perfectly focussed pictures. I'm honestly a bit shocked canon has been able to get this kind of clarity and quality from plastic bodied lenses that are so small and relatively affordable. I'm extremely happy with my entire setup now, and highly recommend the 55-200mm.

Absolutely a wonderful lens for E mount cameras. Don't hesitate to purchase this one. Tack sharp. Did a comparison shoot with my 70-300L. Shot the same bird and couldn't tell the difference. Asked my photography friends to see if they could tell the difference and they all chose the 55-200

I got this lens with the new M50 kit. I used it to shoot photos and 4K video footages during a 4 day escapade in Yosemite. The results were quite impressive, actually. Its light weight and small/compact size are definitely a plus if you are used to carry heavy cameras and lenses. The pictures and footages were incredibly sharp and the lens seems to be an excellent match/fit for the new M50.

I am very pleased with the sharpness of this lens, as well as the light weight. It feels comfortable in hand and on the M5. I was pleasantly surprised at how well I could use the lens hand holding the camera, and in some situations with just one hand! My primary subjects are wildlife, nature and zoo animals. This female bald eagle was photographed at the Miller Park Zoo in Bloomington, IL.

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 ...

I took this lens to our local arboretum and was really pleased with it. It allowed me to get the shots I'd hoped for of butterflies, bees, birds and turtles. It is lightweight so holding it wasn't tiring (I used it solo & with the monopod). I am so happy I've got in my camera bag!

Great IS Good AF for entry level telephoto zoom (vs USM or non-USM EF-S Canon offerings Small footprint to focal length ratio As sharp as other EF-S telephoto zooms For what it is, it's great, but, you may wish to wait for the EOS M4 first for dual pixel AF for soccer/baseball mom usage (IE fast AF on the field). Also this doesn't cover higher end telephoto usage IE 120mm or 135mm @ F4 (35mm equivalent) or faster for telephoto portraiture or indoor telephoto usage.
