Plastic vs metal is a personal thing with no real impact on your photos. I would have been completely happy with an extra 100 grams of metal.

I haven't researched it, but I am thinking this is the most expensive lens Canon has sold with a plastic mount. Compared to the price and build of the other 3 EF-M lenses, the 55-200 feels a bit overpriced and/or under built. Optically it can still match the very good quality of the other 3 lenses.

not really. all the EF-S 55-250mm IS lenses are plastic mounts and all around the same price 45 to 50K yen.

we are spoiled that canon has made comparatively high quality optics cheap for the M.
