The Sony SEL55210 Lens is compatible with the Sony NEX series Cameras. It has 3.8x Zoom with consistently outstanding optical performance all the way. The built-in Optical SteadyShot (OSS) image stabilization is a huge advantage when shooting at longer focal lengths or in low light, making it easy to capture crisp, stable images at up to four shutter speeds lower than would normally be possible. It provides a wide focal range of up to 315mm (35mm equivalent) ideal for sports or nature shooting and is equipped with two ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass elements helps suppress chromatic aberration and color bleeding at all focal lengths providing excellent image quality throughout the zoom range. The 55-210 specification indicates the focal length of the Lens.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The 55-210mm lens would be equivalent to a roughly 80-300mm lens on a 35mm single lens reflex camera. The difference is due to the relative size difference between the APSC sensor size on the NEX camera vs the sensor size (film) on the 35mm single lens reflex camera relative to the lens minimum and maximum telephoto range. This lens is designed for the NEX cameras and will provide greater zoom range than the standard lens with excellent picture quality.
