Sony SEL 55-210mm f/4.5-6.3 Aspherical IS OSS Lens

Good Sony A6000 Telephoto

Pro: Very sharp pix and reasonable aperture for the price. Gives excellent results even from a pretty fair distance (e.g. concert photography).

Con: Sticks out pretty far relative to the size of the A6000; even moreso (a bit awkward) when zoomed all the way to 210mm focal length. You get used to it after some experience and the photo quality is the payoff.

Summary: Good value. Basic quality, function, sharpness, and 'flatness' are just fine. It's economical so just the thing if you want a starter zoom telephoto for your A6000. Recommended.

Middle-of-the-road zoom lens

Focus is slow and finicky with this lens. I knew that going on. Probably only use it for a year or so until I can afford something faster.

Nothing stands out as far as negatives, but nothing else really stands out with it. Good starter lens it is.Read full review

Highly recommend

The 16-50mm lens that the camera shipped with never worked well for me. This new 55-210mm one is exceptional though. I get good crisp zooms with much better photo quality. Just by looking at the lens glass and comparing between the two it's obvious this is a much higher end accessory than the 16-50mm. Only using this lens from now on. The hood screws on the lens itself if so choose to carry it. Lens covers are not interchangeable between the two. Two thumbs up!Read full review

Best bang for your buck telephoto

Great lens for the price. You get what you pay for. Obviously you could drop a ton of cash on a higher quality lens, but if you are looking to expand your range of focal lengths on the cheap, this is it! Occasionally I get a shot with a bad lens flare, but overall I've been very happy with the image quality. This is a great deal, especially used. I paid $130 after shipping for mine.Read full review

Good Inexpensive Outdoor Telephoto Lens

This lens is lightweight and has a good outdoor reach. It does not focus quickly indoors, but works well outdoors. It will often not focus in low light. However, it is very inexpensive and study enough. If you are looking for a cheap well-made telephoto for outdoor daytime use for your Sony A6000 series camera, this is a good lens for you.

Sony 55-210 e-mount lens review

For the price of about 140 dollars this lens is perfect for mirrored camera.
The lens is light weight but feels solid. The picture is stack sharp for normal use. 100-300 mm zoom in a small lens is perfect for travel.

Good partner for the A6000

I wanted something made to work flawlessly with my A6000 and I wanted auto focus. I Haven't had a chance put it through it's paces, but first use, I'm happy with the lens. Seems nice and sharp. Maybe not as sharp as a more expensive lens, but for the price and my use, It's great and works well. A little on the long side, but it's light.Read full review

Sony E SEL55210

While not the fastest. Nor the longest telephoto zoom available for Sony NEX cams. It dosent focus the fastest.
But it captures images that look very real and the color space is very close to human vision when coupled with Sonys FS series camers. Sure most FS users go with the Sony G series of lenses at many Thousands each.
I grabbed this SEL55210 on eBay for $109 cnd.
Yes under $110 to my door!
Ok, Spielberg wont be asking to borrow it for his next shoot in TO. But for my esoteric shooting and keeping my creative mode woking when sitting kn k e of lifes set backs, it's a very good choice and the images are nice.Read full review

good lens at decent price

Good Sony telephoto lens mainly in outdoor use with plenty of light. Decent stabilizatio and nice close up pics with good bokeh at mid zoom but at full length zoom gets grainy and unsteady without a tripod. Otherwise a good buy for the price. Good build quality for Sony A series cameras.Read full review

Necessary Evil

Compared to the Sigma prime lens I have, neither of the Sony lenses (55210 nor 1650) produce a very sharp image. But that is expected given these are 3x~4x zoom lenses. OIS helps alot in these focal lengths. This is pretty much the best and only option for a E mount zoom lenses at this price range.Read full review
