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. 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

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
