Bordering on excellent

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 ...

Truly amazing

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.

Remarkable lens for its size & weight. So sharp!

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.

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.

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!

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.

Short but sweet

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.
