    A "Must Have" lens

    This lens is so much more compact than the comparable lens I had for my "retired" Nikon D90. Easy to mount and handled, It is an essential component for Sony Alpha E-mount cameras. You will not be unhappy with it.

    It's great for what it is. As the only zoom available, it takes clear pictures and is easy to use. Using either manual or auto focus, it takes nice crisp pictures. Does great at the hockey rink with action shots and poor lighting. I wish they would come out with a bigger zoom lens that would work with further distances.

    Love this as it is paired up with Sony NEX5. A friend, professional photographer, recently used it and loved it! She noted how lightweight it was. Was impressed with the max zoom on landscape. Love replayed the photos on my big screen and hearing the ooos and ahhs as we zoom in on the pictures.

    Got this lens as part of the package deal with the Sony A6000 camera. It is very easy to swap on and off with the smaller lens that comes with the camera. It zooms in easily and takes great quality pictures.

    A versatile lens that should be part of your kit

    This lens was acquired to see if it would give me more opportunities to use my Sony 4/3's 5000a camera. The answer is unequivocally yes! For working in large areas where 5-6 steps are not possible, the 55-210 zoom really does the trick without sacrificing too much in the way of aperture in medium lit situations. it's fast, comfortable in my large hands (less in a woman's I imagine) and the image stabilization seems to work just fine. Sorry that I waited to buy this!

    excellent lens for any amateur photographer, but i will say it’s not the best if you plan on doing something like sports photography at night.

    This lens is an excellent addition to have in my camera bag. As a hobbyist photographer, I used this lens for outdoor shots and did some shots for a friend's graduation photos that turned out excellent!

    Quality Lens for Cost

    Really happy with this purchase - I typically shoot with my 20-70 shooting predominantly portraiture and street at with my Sony R7II, but this lens had allowed more flexibility for long range shots. No issues with any auto settings as far as sharpness goes, but have found it is optimal at the center of it's range. Doesn't have any metering or sharpness issues while using my pro Gobe filters either. Definitely a great value for it's pricepoint - additional range in a lightweight and compact form.

    This was included with the a6000 bundle, and along with the 16-50mm lens you have a great focal range to work with. Image quality was great, and the zoom range is perfect with this.

    Got this lens to go with my 18-55 kit lens. This lens is in keeping with the Sony system of small and light. I am close to 80 years old, and the Canon SLR was getting way too heavy & bulky.

    I got this with my Sony A6000 and for the price it takes a very respectable picture and has great zoom. The only thing is it looks a bit awkward on the small body of the A6000.
