New Canon EF-M 55-200mm f/4.5-6.3 IS STM Lens For EOS M System Coming In Few Days

Digicame-info (translated) spotted the leak.

EF-M 55-200mm F4.5-6.3 IS STM

– […] molded aspherical lens and one UD lens
–  22% shorter compared to the EF-S 55-250mm IS STM
– 31% lighter than the EF-S 55-250mm IS STM
– image stabilisation up to 4 stops
– Faster AF thru optimisation of the algorithm of the drive system
– Full-time manual focus
– Hood ET-54B

The EF-M 55-200mm F4.5-6.3 IS STM is compact and lightweight lens, 22% shorter and 31% lighter than the EF-S 55-250mm IS STM. The lens weights 260g and has a total length of 87mm. Appears to be a pretty compact and light tele zoom. And with optimised AF speed. Great news for EOS M owners. And no one saw it come ;-)

Let’s hope Canon will release this lens world-wide, and not just for the Asian market as they did with the EOS M2.
