Canon’s telephoto zoom lens, better known as the EF-M 55-200mm f/4.5-6.3 IS STM

Serious photographers take note – Canon has just announced their first dedicated telephoto zoom lens – the EF-M 55-200mm f/4.5-6.3 IS STM. It is part of the EF-M lens range and is designed for the brand’s compact system camera.

Here’s the stuff you really want to know:

  • You’re looking at 55-200mm focal range
  • It’s compact (big bulky camera bags give you back pain)
  • Image Stabiliser to keep images sharp
  • Smooth, near-silent STM focusing

But why do you need it?

For starters a telephoto zoom lens is far better than the usual digital zoom folks like me use. Digital zoom just enlarges the image and you lose quality. By utilising a telephoto zoom lens you can isolate your subjects and really make them pop.

Big isn't always better. Canon's option is smaller and more compact.
