EF-M 55-200mm’s recent job
13

I indeed appreciate the lens tests at www.opticallimits.com (formerly known as www.photozone.com). However, I disagree with its recent verdict on the EF-M 55-200mm. I love this lens a lot and it is permanently in use on my M5. See the latest results with the lens from this weekend (with one exception though which refers to the EF-S 17-55mm).

Best regards,
Volker

Nice photos! It's a decent performer, compact and budget friendly. Takes up little space in my backpack. Check out my Flickr page on my signature for some shots with this lens.

Nice photos.  I like the lens, wishing for a longer reach lens.  I guess the best we can hope for in the near future is an M300 of some sort followed years later for a M400 mount.  If Canon is really serious on expanding the M series, it has to offer more longer reach lenses, at least I hope so.

I totally agree, I really want to see something like a 70-300 or 100-400 on a M mount. I do plane spotting and no native telephoto lens is going to hurt.
