Equivalent focal length on different cameras#
Field of view and depth-of-field equivalence when this lens is used on bodies with different sensor sizes (natively or via an adapter).
| Camera format | At 55 mm | At 105 mm | At 200 mm | Equiv. aperture (DoF) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| APS-C | 82 mm · 29° | 158 mm · 15° | 300 mm · 8° | f/6.8 |
| APS-C (Canon) | 88 mm · 27° | 168 mm · 15° | 320 mm · 8° | f/7.2 |
| Micro Four Thirds | 110 mm · 22° | 210 mm · 12° | 400 mm · 6° | f/9.0 |
Depth of field & background blur#
Computed on its native APS-C format (CoC 20 µm). “Blur @2 m” is the size of an out-of-focus point at infinity, as a percentage of frame width, with the subject at 2 m — a simple bokeh index. Full table: 50 mm f/5.6 on aps-c.
| Focal | Aperture | at 1 m | at 2 m | at 5 m | at 10 m | Hyperfocal | Blur @2 m |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 55 mm | f/4.5 | 5.5 cm | 22.7 cm | 1.47 m | 6.32 m | 34.4 m | 1.5% |
| 55 mm | f/8 | 9.8 cm | 40.7 cm | 2.74 m | 14.0 m | 19.4 m | 0.8% |
| 105 mm | f/4.5 | 1.4 cm | 6.1 cm | 39.1 cm | 1.59 m | 125 m | 5.5% |
| 105 mm | f/8 | 2.5 cm | 10.8 cm | 69.8 cm | 2.87 m | 70.6 m | 3.1% |
| 200 mm | f/4.5 | 0.4 cm | 1.6 cm | 10.6 cm | 43.1 cm | 455 m | 21.0% |
| 200 mm | f/8 | 0.6 cm | 2.8 cm | 18.8 cm | 76.8 cm | 256 m | 11.8% |
Handheld & night-sky limits#
NPF assumes typical 20–24 MP sensors (≈6 µm pixels on full frame, ≈3.9 µm on APS-C, ≈3.3 µm on Micro Four Thirds).
| Body | Min. handheld shutter (longest focal) | 500 rule at 55 mm | NPF at 55 mm, f/4.5 |
|---|---|---|---|
| APS-C | 1/320 s | 6 s | 5 s |
| APS-C (Canon) | 1/320 s | 6 s | 5 s |
| Micro Four Thirds | 1/400 s | 5 s | 5 s |

Frequently asked questions#
Is the Canon EF-M 55-200mm f/4.5-6.3 IS STM full frame?
No — it is designed for APS-C sensors. On a full-frame body it vignettes or triggers crop mode.
What is the Canon EF-M 55-200mm f/4.5-6.3 IS STM equivalent to on APS-C?
Its focal length is already the real value for APS-C: 55–200 mm frames like 84–307 mm on full frame.
What is the Canon EF-M 55-200mm f/4.5-6.3 IS STM good for?
As a telephoto zoom it suits sport, wildlife, events and compressed landscapes.
