Revainrating 4 out of 5

I am satisfied with everything, both price and quality, I advise you to buy.

I got tired of constantly poke the adapter from EF50 F1.8 to EF-S 55-250 and I decided to get rid of the latter by buying a telephoto lens for my native mount. In 2022, they are still not there, I ordered them on ibei before the November collapse of the. It came out at about 15tr, taking into account the extortionate exchange rate. I was struck by the fact that the lens turned out to be small. Slightly longer than 18-55 with the same diameter. If we compare with EF-S 55-250, then 55-200 is much less, even without the adapter. At the same time, it focuses even faster and the quality of the photos is not much worse, despite the fact that it is "darker". While there are several Canon telephoto lenses that can be mounted on the EOS M, they are all huge and heavy. And the native telephoto opens up many advantages without taking up extra space in the bag. I didn’t even try to compare the quality of photos 55-200 with the same 55-250, because the latter is noticeably larger and heavier. However, at first glance, the 55-250 is not better or much better. Yes, it is lighter, but in terms of sharpness, both lenses are on top. Probably, if you photograph test targets, then a difference may appear, however, I no longer want to carry 55-250 with me and therefore, the issue of sharpness on test targets worries me very little.

Pros
  • Compact, light, focal, stab and fast focusing
Cons
  • Plastic housing, darkish
