Canon EF-M 55-200mm f/4.5-6.3 IS STM

Canon's dedicated telephoto zoom for EOS M cameras — the EF-M 55-200mm covers an 88–320mm full-frame equivalent range with built-in IS and STM autofocus. It is the longest native EF-M lens available and fills the telephoto gap left by the 15-45mm and 18-150mm kit lenses. Compact and lightweight for its reach, it is the natural addition to any EOS M kit for wildlife, sports, and compressed portrait telephoto work. Exclusively for Canon EF-M mount cameras.

GearFrame's Take

The only dedicated telephoto for EOS M bodies — 88–320mm equivalent reach with IS in a compact, lightweight barrel that pairs naturally with the 15-45mm or 11-22mm.
