Jack the 55-250mm is better for close ups than the 55-200 mm. At normal distances on the copies I owned both were pretty much identical. The only disadvantage I found with the 55-250 mm was it felt a bit more front heavy on my M50 . If you can live with that then the 55-250 mm STM plus adaptor would be a better choice IMHO.

I'm asking because I already have the 55-200mm, and I am seeing the 55-250mm STM less and less on the market as "new" lately, so might be the last time to snatch one new before it's gone completely.

My heart says buy, but my mind says no, you already have an identical lens
