Canon RF-S 55-210mm f/5-7.1 IS STM

The Canon RF-S 55-210 mm f/5-7.1 IS STM is a powerful telephoto lens designed for mirrorless cameras with APS-C sensors. With an extensive zoom range of 55-210mm (88-336mm full-frame equivalent), the lens is the ideal choice for sports and wildlife photography. It features optical image stabilization that compensates for up to 4.5 EV of camera shake and an STM stepper motor that provides quiet and smooth autofocusing.With a minimum focusing distance of 70cm, the lens makes it easy to work with close subjects, ideal for close-up shots.

Excellent optical quality for clear images

The optical design of the Canon RF-S 55-210mm f/5-7.1 IS STM is based on 11 optical elements in 8 groups, including two ultra-low dispersion (UD) elements and one aspherical element, which minimize optical defects and provide excellent image quality. Canon Super Spectra Coating further improves contrast and reduces the risk of flare and ghosting, resulting in bright and contrasty images.

Advanced image stabilisation for sharp images

Optical Image Stabilisation with up to 4.5 EV compensation allows you to achieve sharp images even at longer exposure times, which is convenient for handheld shooting. When used with EOS R cameras with Internal Image Stabilisation (IBIS), the lens achieves up to 7 EV stabilisation. The feature is especially useful for filmmakers who shoot video or still photography, as it stabilizes the image and minimizes camera shake.

Creative options with beautiful bokeh

The RF-S 55-210mm f/5-7.1 IS STM features a 7-blade aperture that combines with a long focal length and aperture to create a shallow depth of field and beautiful bokeh effect. The effect separates the main subject from the background and is ideal for portraits and close-up photography that require a highly professional look and aesthetic.
