Product Manuals
Q: Hi What is this lens good for? ( Sony 55-210)
A: I personally use it for distance sports shots for basketball and baseball. Switch back to 16-50 for casual everyday photos that don't require the zoom.
Q: I received a Sony Mirrorless a-6000, will this lens work?
A: Hi Alicia! Yes. This lens is fully compatible with the Sony a6000 camera. -Anthony
Q: Is this Lens compatible with the Sony A7 Full Frame? Or will it only shoot in Crop sensor mode?
A: Hi Danny, The angle of view will be narrower down to that of APS-C size. -Anthony
Q: Will this lens work on a sony cyber shot exmor R?
A: I don't think it will work for normal digital camera as your cyber shot. This is for sony mirroless camera. I don't think you can buy any lens for your cyber shot.
Q: Is this lens auto-focus or manual?
A: I’m certainly not an expert photographer, so my answer is in layman’s terms. I use this lens often for capturing my child at gymnastic meets, where I can’t get physically close to the action. My answer to your question is both. This lens itself does not have manual/auto focus switch, like some others do. The amount of zoom is manual as you frame your shot. The lens then works with the (Sony) camera’s auto-focus capability when the shot button is pressed halfway down.
Q: Is this lens a full frame lense or does it have a crop ratio?
A: Hi Scribz23, This model is not a full frame lens. It is designed for Sony mirrorless cameras with APS-C sized sensors. When connected to a full frame camera, the angle of view will be narrowed down to that of APS-C size. ~Ralph
Q: I have a Sony a7III and I'm in need of lenses for it, will this lense fit my camera?
A: Hi there! Yes. This lens is compatible with your a7III but with restrictions. The angle of view will be narrowed down to that of APS-C size and fast hybrid AF is available with the lens system software Ver.02 or later. Regards, Vincent
Q: Hi, just want to be sure if this lens is completely compatible with my NEX-5N??
A: Hi LuisC, The SEL55210 lens is fully compatible with NEX-5N. The list of E-mount cameras compatible with this lens may be viewed here: http://support.d-imaging.sony.co.jp/www/cscs/accessories/compatibility.php?area=gb&lang=en&mdl=SEL55210&cat=3 -Jerome

The 70-300mm F/4.5-6.3 Di III RXD (Model A047) for Sony full-frame E-mount mirrorless cameras is a telephoto zoom lens designed and created so photographers of all skill levels can enjoy high quality images comfortably. Tamron’s new 70-300mm F4.5-6.3 covers a broad telephoto zoom range yet is the world's smallest size and lightest weight, coming in at 148mm (5.8 in) long with a maximum diameter of 77mm, and weighing just 545g (19.2 oz). With special emphasis on resolving power, Tamron has deployed special lens elements appropriately arranged to correct chromatic aberration, generally very strong in a telephoto lens, as well as other aberrations. Users can enjoy high-resolution images combined with the stunning bokeh qualities that are achievable only with a telephoto lens. The lens also incorporates the RXD (Rapid eXtra-silent stepping Drive) stepping motor unit, a high-speed precision AF drive system that is remarkably quiet. Tamron's Moisture-Resistant Construction provides extra protection, while various features that are built into Sony mirrorless cameras, including "Eye AF," are supported. The 70-300mm F4.5-6.3 is a versatile lens for photographing landscapes, sports and other action, pets and wildlife and more. The lens also demonstrates its potential for portrait shooting, casual snapshots and scenarios that require you to be mobile and shoot handheld, like sporting events. The apparent image compression and the close-up effects characteristic of telephoto lenses naturally amplify photographic expression. Zooming in on distant objects and making them appear closer is one of the joys of telephoto shooting. This zoom lens provides an entryway into that new world.

Awesome lens
My Sony SteadyShot lens is a game changer pics come out sharp and clear, and the stabilization keeps everything smooth even when I’m shooting handheld. Super reliable and makes low-light shots way easier. Definitely one of my go-to lenses.

Good for the price
For a budget zoom lens it does the job pretty well, a bit fuzzy in some cases and focusing can be kind of annoying but it works very well and gets pretty good and clear photos

Worth it!
Absolutely no complaints. It's everything I wanted and more for the $300, in comparison to other E-Mount lenses with twice the focal length for almost five times the price. I find myself outside every night that the sky is clear, re- and disassembling my camera like a sniper rifle so I can take another picture of the moon with this lens.
