What it is
{"overview":"The Canon EF 55-200mm f\/4.5-5.6 USM is a variable-aperture telephoto zoom for the Canon EF autofocus mount, designed as a compact consumer telephoto for 35mm film SLRs and later compatible with EOS digital bodies. Buyers should remember these are wholesale auction levels, so retail asking prices from dealers will typically be higher.","buying_guide":"Inspect the front and rear elements for fungus and internal haze, which are common in older consumer zooms that have been stored in damp conditions. Check the aperture blades for oil, confirm that the USM autofocus drives smoothly and quietly across the full zoom range, and rotate the zoom and focus rings to feel for stiffness, grit, or zoom creep.

Versions and how to tell them apart
Questions
Why is the price so low compared to other Canon EF telephoto zooms?
It was a consumer-grade variable-aperture zoom rather than an L-series professional optic, so its used market value reflects its entry-level positioning.
Does the USM autofocus affect the value?
A smoothly and quietly working USM motor helps a copy sell at the upper end of the recorded range, while a noisy or hesitant motor pushes the price down.
