A very Happy Birthday to me! \u00c2\u00a0I turned 21,914, give or take a day. \u00c2\u00a0Leap years can be difficult…Anyway, it was a nice Birthday, with family coming over for a nice crockpot ribs dinner and cake!<\/p>\n

And a few gifts, the nicest of which was (ignoring the BIG bag of dark chocolate M&M’s!) my new Canon EF-M 55-200 IS for my Canon M2 mirrorless camera from my darling Frau.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This pretty much completes my set for the Mirrorless M2. \u00c2\u00a0I now have telephoto capabilities natively, as well as the 6.5mm fisheye, 12mm superwide, and 18-55 kit lens in M mounts. \u00c2\u00a0I also consider my EF-S 10-18mm IS with the Canon adapter as a part of this kit. \u00c2\u00a0I also have adapters for Olympus OM, Canon FD, Pentax, and Argus C-3 vintage lenses, and I can use all of my Canon EF lenses for my 7D, too.<\/p>\n

\n

I had heard that this was a pretty good telephoto, but was truly amazed at the sharpness of it. \u00c2\u00a0I put this $200 lens (new on eBay) on the M2 up against my Canon 70-300mm IS L ($1400 new) on the 7D. \u00c2\u00a0Both are at f8, 200mm and handheld using IS. \u00c2\u00a0The 7D actually was at 1\/64 second and the M2 at 1\/45. \u00c2\u00a0I didn’t have a 70-200mm L to compare it to…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The M2\/55-200 is above, and the 7D\/70-300 below.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I was just comparing sharpness, and if you click on each photo a couple of times you can see them each at 100% size. \u00c2\u00a0There just isn’t very much difference! \u00c2\u00a0Call me very pleased.<\/p>\n

A bonus 55-200 photo. \u00c2\u00a0A 100% crop. \u00c2\u00a0Click on it a couple of times to see it full sized. \u00c2\u00a0BACK to return!<\/p>\n
