Product Description

 
Super-compact and light, this lens is compatible with all EOS cameras and ideal for digital SLRs–when used on the EOS Digital Rebel, it’s equivalent to an approx. 90-320mm lens. The 13-element design’s new optical coatings are optimized for digital cameras. It focuses down to under 4 feet (1.2m), and its Micro USM-powered AF is faster than ever, due to new electronics within the lens.

The Canon EF 55-200mm f/4.5-5.6 II USM disappoints in many ways.

Date of Review:  Dec 27, 2007
The Bottom Line: Not recommended due to poor build quality, slow aperture, above average chromatic aberration, and below average ergonomics.
Review: Introduction

Although I mostly shoot with professional Nikon gear, I decided to try my luck at a holiday raffle for some Canon gear and if I won, I'd give it to a friend as a gift. I think bad weather kept the raffle participants low and I...

Cheap Price, Cheap Lens

Date of Review:  Jan 14, 2005
The Bottom Line: Avoid it if you value your money.
Review: I bought this lens a few years ago from an online retailer for about $130. I bought it, because my previous lens, a Tamron 28-200, which was recommended to me by a close friend, ended up giving me a lot of problems.

I vowed then to only...

Great lens for Canon APS SLR cameras

Date of Review:  Mar 1, 2001
The Bottom Line: I recommend this zoom lens for the Canon APS SLR cameras due to it's light weight and low price.
Review: I purchased this lens for my Canon EOS IX APS camera. It's light weight was a perfect match for this camera. The down side to using this lens is that the barrel is too loose.

The build quality is rather cheap. Just letting the camera...
