    Purchased the Sony 55-210mm telephoto lens for my Sony a6000 camera. LOVE IT! I take lots of photos (son's baseball and soccer games). I have been wanting a telephoto lens so I can get the shots I want from further distances. Gives me a whole new perspective! LOVE! LOVE! LOVE! Worth the money!

    Good, but not great

    High quality material and well made. Smooth zoom, quiet focus, quite compact for its zoom range. Though it does protrude outward quite a bit when zoom all the way in. Provides long reach, but is not suitable to be used as a versatile solution because i just could not use it to capture portrait. Manual zoom is not suitable for video recording. it’s quite a heavy lens. Only great for people who shoot pictures of wildlife or who wants long reach. I would guve 3.5 star.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    This lease quickly became my go-to for nearly everything. Sure it doesn’t have zoom, but there is a reason why it’s called a “prime” lense. It has great low light performance which is where I like to work. And it’s focus and clarity is amazing. Now I need to find a good zoom lense that can also give me a wider viewing angle.

    I purchased this lens as part of a bundle with the a6000 and I am very happy that I made that plunge. I think together it saved me $150+ dollars, and without that bundle, I probably would have convinced myself that the extra lens wasn't worth it. However, I would say that I tend to use this lens way more than the one that came with the body. Now I just have to round out the rest of my kit!
