Canon RF-S 55-210mm F5-7.1 IS STM Lens

A compact, lightweight telephoto RF-S lens for EOS R APS-C cameras with a versatile zoom range, ideal for travel, sports, families and pets.

Wherever you go, get closer

Bring your distant subjects closer and develop your creativity with this lightweight and versatile APS-C format telephoto zoom.

Extend your reach

Capture distant details and landscapes plus great travel moments as well as flattering, frame-filling pictures of people. Use the lens’ telephoto reach to blur the background, helping isolate your subjects to make them stand out. This versatile 3.8x, 55-210mm1 zoom offers superb creative control.

Get close, even when you’re far away

Reveal details you haven’t seen before with a twist of the zoom ring. At 210mm the RF-S 55-210mm F5-7.1 IS STM offers a maximum magnification of 0.28x, helping you focus close and not disturb your subject or cast shadows over it – perfect for spontaneous close encounters.

Advanced image stabilisation

Pick up and use straight away – even in low light – with super steady results all the way up to the telephoto range, thanks to a 4.5-stop Optical Image Stabilizer.

Get creative with beautiful highlights and bokeh

Experiment with out-of-focus highlights thanks to a 7-blade near-circular aperture and use the telephoto power and a wide aperture to achieve a shallower depth-of-field to separate your subject, capturing beautiful bokeh with extra depth and impact.

Smooth, quiet focusing with instinctive control

Switch quickly between different modes to shoot and film like a pro thanks to a combined lens control and manual focus ring. An STM focusing motor on the lens works virtually silently.

A lens that works intuitively with your camera

Thanks to its RF mount, the RF-S 55-210mm F5-7.1 IS STM works with EOS R series cameras to correct and implement a wide range of image enhancement options including focus breathing correction in movie mode.
