Canon EOS 55-200 Lens

Archived from groups: rec.photo.digital (More info?)

I used one for a short time (about two months) and found it to be a good
lens, when stopped down a little. Build quality is strictly consumer
plastic, but optically is isn't as bad as you may read. For me, it was a
nice light travel zoom. Optically, I'd give it a 7/10 overall but
mechanically I'd rate it 4/10. But for the price it's a very good value.
