    I cannot sing this lense praises enough. While not perfect, it truly shines in well light areas (aka outdoor settings), and holds up well in areas without great lighting. The backgroung blur you can achive with this lense rivals lenses 7x its price. Simply put, if you are getting into photograpy like me (specially when traveling) or are a veteran photographer, this is a must pick up!

    I recently purchased the Canon RF-S55-210mm F5-7.1 IS STM Telephoto Zoom Lens, and I must say, it exceeded my expectations. The build quality is impressive, and it feels sturdy yet lightweight, making it easy to handle during extended shooting sessions. The image stabilization works wonders, especially when capturing distant subjects, and the autofocus is fast and precise. I really love the quality of the lens I can recommend for beginners.

    Pictures come out crisp and clean. The only thing that keeps me from giving 5 stars is there should be a lock on the lens like the 100-400.
