Canon EF 55-200mm f/4.5-5.6 II USM Lens - Good Condition | Lightweight Compact Telephoto Zoom Lens featuring UltraSonic Motor for Canon Full-Frame and APS-C DSLRs

The Canon EF 55-200mm f/4.5-5.6 II USM is the definitive choice for the enthusiast travel photographer, sports fan, and outdoor portraitist who values extensive telephoto reach packed into an exceptionally lightweight, streamlined housing. Originally engineered as the perfect telephoto companion to Canon’s compact SLR bodies, this versatile lens behaves beautifully on both full-frame digital sensors and APS-C crop cameras (where it delivers an impressive 88-320mm equivalent reach). Equipped with Canon's specialized Micro UltraSonic Motor (USM) for fast, near-silent autofocus acquisition, this Canon telephoto zoom provides the optical flexibility, flattering compression, and structural honesty required to easily pull distant action into sharp focus without adding heavy bulk to your daily gear setup.

Key Features

• Practical 55-200mm telephoto zoom reach, capturing everything from intimate portraits to compressed distant landscapes and sports action.

• High-performance Micro UltraSonic Motor (USM) drive, ensuring fast, highly responsive, and quiet autofocus tracking performance.

• Fully optimized digital lens element coatings, effectively suppressing internal ghosting and flare artifacts to maintain rich image contrast.

• Advanced 4-group optical zoom configuration layout, meticulously maintaining a compact physical barrel length while maximizing structural balance.

• Universal Canon EF mount cross-compatibility, operating flawlessly across legacy 35mm film SLRs, full-frame digital bodies, and APS-C crop sensors.

• Clean 52mm front filter ring threading, allowing lightweight and cost-effective integration of circular polarizers, ND filters, or protective glass.

• Ergonomic textured rubberized manual focus ring, providing reliable, non-slip tactical control for micro-adjustments in the field.

Condition Report Good condition. Body: Shows normal signs of light use, minor superficial cosmetic scuffing on the durable polycarbonate casing, and typical light wear on the plastic barrel ridges consistent with careful recreational handling. The bayonet mount plate and electronic connection contacts are clean and mount securely to camera bodies. Sensor/Optics: The internal optical glass paths are clean and clear; completely free from internal lens fungus, heavy haze, optical separation, or deep glass scratches. A standard minimum level of internal micro-dust is visible under close inspection light, which is standard for an extending telephoto barrel design and does not alter image performance. Mechanics/Electronics: Fully operational. The mechanical zoom barrel extends smoothly and uniformly without sticking, the internal USM autofocus engine locks onto targets instantly, the diaphragm blades are clean and snappy, and all electronic data pins communicate flawlessly with the camera body.

Specialist Note "The Canon EF 55-200mm II USM is widely celebrated as an unsung hero of lightweight telephoto design, offering an incredible balance of portability and reach that modern heavy zooms often sacrifice. What makes this second-generation 'II' variant a true standout is its updated electronic system and multi-coating array, which handle stray light far better than the original version. The implementation of the UltraSonic Motor (USM) is remarkably snappy for a lens of this class, locking focus fast enough to keep up with running pets, backyard sports, or passing vehicles. Because it weighs very little, it makes the ultimate 'just-in-case' telephoto lens to slip into the corner of your backpack during day hikes or city tours. It is an exceptionally transparent, satisfying photographic tool that delivers classic Canon contrast and punchy colors at a highly accessible value."
