Canon is killing me with these lenses! f/5-7.1 for an APS-C telezoom? WHATS THE POINT?

Size and cost. Go and buy the 70-200mm f/4, you know you want to.

See that argument doesn't work because Canon already used to have a small and light 55-250mm for APS-c over 10 years ago. They're not only not innovating - they're going backwards!

So what are the actual sizes of the lenses? Obviously if you still have the EF-S 55-250mm IS it will work better on the R10 or R7 than on a DSLR, but it will be 70mm dia x 135mm and 485g on the adapter. It had to be no slower than f/5.6 in order to autofocus on a DSLR. The EF-M 55-200mm IS is f/6.3, but 61mm diameter x 86mm x 260g, just over half the size and weight of the adapted EF-S lens. An RF-S 55-210mm f/5-7.1 IS will be much closer in size and weight to the EF-M lens than to the adapted EF-S lens. And thats the point, even if neither of us would consider buying that lens.
