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

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.

  • A small, powerful zoom

    The RF-S 55-210mm F5-7.1 IS STM helps you capture travel memories and landscape views, plus sports days, close ups and family pets at play.

  • Get closer to the action

    Use the telephoto end of the zoom to bring those distant subjects closer.

  • Sharp, smooth and stable

    A powerful 4.5-stop1 Image Stabilizer prevents camera shake, delivering sharp, smooth, video and stills.

  • Fast and accurate focusing

    Thanks to the STM motor, focusing is fast and precise and works in near-silence – making it perfect for video, with smooth focus movements.

  • Seven-blade aperture

    With its near-circular design, blur the background and out-of-focus areas smoothly, adding a creative edge to your pictures.

    Extend your reach

    Capture distant details and landscapes plus great travel moments as well as flattering, frame-filling pictures of people.

    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

    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
