Hi! I have an eos m3 with a 18-55mm which I like very much. Most of my photos are in the 55 position and I search for a tele for street photography (from a safe distance). Do you recommend this lense?

EF-S 55-250 STM will work fine, but is a bit big relative to your M3. EF-M 55-200 is much smaller, possibly making it a better choice, as it sounds like you don’t need the 200-250mm range and not drawing attention to the camera seems to matter for you.
