I'm a bit confused about this lens. In a recent topic somebody mentioned the 55-200 as a cheap telephoto suggestion. I assumed they meant the 55-250mm, after all, there is no 55-200 listed on this big lens list at the bottom of most pages here. After a bit of digging, I saw there *is* a review of it here, listed under discontinued lenses.
Today I got a BestBuy flyer email that had an kit bundled with the 55-200mm. Curious, I clicked. Indeed, the lens is there. They even sell them seperately.

<div>Are they clearing out some ancient stock, or are these lenses not really discontinued? Not that I'd want one, but I'd think that if they're still available at retail, the review should be where people can find it easily.</div>

<div>edit: Another site is selling them too, and this site recently said the 40D is discontinued, and now no longer lists them (only refurbs). They make no such claim about this lens.</div>
