Sony E 55-210mm F4.5-6.3 OSS

 

The Sony E 55-210mm F4.5-5.6 OSS is a light, compact telezoom lens, but its image quality suffers when shot at maximum aperture.

Light, compact design. 3.8x zoom range. Solid telephoto reach. Optical stabilization.

So-so image quality. Omits weather sealing.

The Sony E 55-210mm F4.5-5.6 OSS isn't a great performer beyond 55mm when shot wide open. If you're looking for a telezoom that gets solid results at its maximum aperture, the FE 70-300mm F4.5-5.6 and FE 70-200mm F4 are both better choices, but also...

Good but not the best!

 

Very good compact lens, not the fastest and can be a bit hit or miss at long focal length with the clarity of the photos.Auto focus works fine and is light and very simple to use.

Great light weight lens

 

I bought this lens a couple of weeks ago and am very pleased with it. Produces very clear sharp images across the entire focal length. It is also light weight and very easy to use.

Super for safari

 

I took this to Kenya on a safari and have the most amazing shots of lion, cheetah, giraffe, elephant, rhino, warthogs and many more animals. So easy to use with great results.

Value for money zoom branded telephoto lens

 

Affordable compromise of branded telephoto zoom lens. Good finish. Smooth feel. Sharp enough for significant cropping with A4 prints. Light enough to carry in gadget bag "just in case" . This 55-210 has shorter reach, smaller max aperture & lower...

Great Product and excellent quality

 

Or profession photographer neighbor recommended this camera for our adventures as a good all around camera as we step up from point and shoot into the future of manual controls and post processing. We're really happy with the camera

Easy to Use

 

Recent purchase into the SONY alpha 6000 camera. So I wanted an easy to use lens - which this is. I am a newbie to this compact system camera concept, so I still am on a learning curve as to getting the best out of the lens

Quality Product

 

I have not yet had this lens long enough to thoroughly evaluate it but first impressions are all good, eg. build quality and image quality.
