Customer Ratings & Reviews

purchased other digital camera and lens from Nikon. Although it is very good, and correspondingly costly. However as an amateur photographer, most of time do not need a great camera which is so heavy to carry. The Sony with a good tele lens is enough to maneuver the photo image effect, recommend to travelers.

I bought this lens in an open box item got some discount on it. Salesperson was very helpful and friendly. I would recommend it to my friends and family.

Just can't stop taking pictures with this lens using Aperture 1.8 2 to 3 feet away beautiful pictures happen. The blur affect in the back ground brings out your subject beautifully.

Great photos , action shots , and very easy to take off and put back on

One of three lenses needed for the NEX-7 in my opinion. The other two being the 18-55mm and the 16mm wide f2.8 along with the ultra-wide and fish-eye attachments.

i hav some nice pics with this lens. I would recommend this lens for beginners

First pic taken w/ Sony 55-210mm f/4.5-6.3 OSS lens

I’m very pleased with my new lens purchase. Great for beginners.

I am a novice but have had several cameras. The NEX is great and this lens makes it better.

Did a great job out int eh field. Easy to switch out

It has great clarity for the zoom range. I have enjoyed taking pictures of wildlife and sunsets!

Had chip on glass and It appears u see the sun light in photos.

I’ve been using the Sony 55-210mm f/4.5-6.3 Telephoto Lens for several months, and it has truly impressed me for its price and performance. The lens is lightweight and compact, making it easy to carry for outdoor shoots, travel, and everyday photography. The zoom range is versatile, offering great reach for wildlife, sports, and portrait shots. Image quality is sharp, especially in good lighting, and the built-in Optical SteadyShot stabilization helps achieve clear images even when shooting handheld at longer focal lengths. Autofocus is quiet and reasonably fast, making it suitable for both stills and video. While it’s not a professional-grade lens, it delivers excellent value and results for hobbyists and those looking to expand their kit without breaking the bank. Overall, the Sony 55-210mm is a fantastic telephoto option for Sony E-mount users, offering flexibility, reliability, and great image quality for the price. Highly recommended for beginners and enthusiasts alike!

I have the Sony Nex-3 and wanted to get a zoom lens, I was debating between lens adapter with a longer zoom lens and this lens which I ended up buying and keeping. The feel of this lens on the camera is just right, it has a nice rubber grip with manuel focus opt. and aluminum construction which makes it very light. I took the lens for a test drive on my Alaska Cruise vacation and ended up with some nice pics, I did also use a Rocket Fish P.Filter and UV.Filter to prevent any glare on my pics and to protect it from getting scratched. The video recording with the lens was good too. Over all I think this lens is a great addition to the camera but I would of liked a longer zoom though I shouldn't complaint since there's no adapter required for added cost. I'll leave 2 pics to show 55mm zoom and max zoom 210mm.

This is a great addition for someone who has a NEX camera with the 18-55 mm kit lens. It is small and light enough to be used single handed with the camera if necessary. Images are incredibly sharp, even indoors, low light without flash. Maximum aperture at extreme telephoto range is very high which limits depth of field control. Best use would be sports, action, nature photography in daylight conditions. Built-in stabilization and high effective ASA allows great photos even at maximum telephoto range since any lens movement is magnified. Construction appears to be mainly plastic, but that probably helps keep it light. Lens is expensive compared to other brands, but works extremely well with the NEX cameras.

This lens came with the camera in the kit I purchased, and I couldn't be happier. I was worried about using a lens like this for portraits, but it has given me some great photos. It's great for traveling what with it's telephoto capabilities, and is relatively light weight. It can be a bit cumbersome when trying to get a wide framed shot, but to be fair, that's not what the cameras meant for. The lens itself is high quality and feels great in your hands. Overall, I would highly recommend this camera.

This lens is no frills (but OSS) and gets the job done very well. Given the size and price, this lens is excellent. Great for during the day as the focal/aperture range is perfect. Depending on your camera, late in the day shots can get a bit noisy but again realizing the limitations with the lens will help you greatly. Oh yeah, great video lens too! Its about the size of a small red bull can. Its much lighter and easier to handle than the 18-200mm monster. For the same price as that lens (899), I have 2 excellent lenses. I have this on my NEX-6 complementing the 35mm F1.8. These are the only 2 lenses I need for 100% of situations.

This lens is pretty solid, For a 200 it is on the cheaper side for a Sony Alpha a7iii which is what I purchased it for. The quality is obviously lesser than a more expensive lens, The overall use that I have gotten out of this lens is still amazing and recommend this lens for its great price. You can make tons of use from this lens.

This is a pretty good lens for what you pay for it. It gives good clean pictures as long as the lighting is good and you're not as concerned with the bokeh. It is a very good lens if you're just starting out and gives a great range of shooting. For a telephoto lens it is light and compact making it fantastic for travel.

The Sony E 55-210mm f/4.5-6.3 OSS provides enough zoom range to capture faraway subjects. It won’t rival a 60x superzoom for sheer reach, but it will take much better photos—especially if you know how to take advantage of it. Best of all, it won’t break the bank. Sure, Sony had to make some sacrifices to get the price that low, but if you’re looking to add reach on a budget, this lens should be on your radar.
