    This lens came with my camera as a package deal and love the zoom it has. I have taken great pictures or the moon that come out well after zooming in

    Good for Close Ups

    This lens was purchased as part of an anniversary gift and has proven to be good for close ups and tight shots, but it could be a bit faster. Little ones move quickly, and capturing clear action shots has proven to be a bit challenging.

    This 55-210 lens gives me a full range for my Sony Nex6. It is very easy to use, sharp and clear. I am glad they changed their color to black. It looks good on the camera.

    I like the lens a lot but expected better quality at the farthest zoom point (probably BC I'm using a NEX3), not useful for anything close-up (portraits etc.). Overall 4 stars, nice and sturdy lens with a greater zoom than the OEM lens.

    Zooms great. Pictures are extremely clear. Photos taken with this lens are far better quality than those taken with the lens that originally came with my Nex-3.

    The lense has beautiful compression and a great range. However is struggles in quick auto focus scenarios, the focus doesn’t always catch and of course minimal light when zoomed in.

    Came bundled with my a6600, its an ok lens, but great value when bundled as an introduction to a Telephoto. I wouldn't recommend buying it as a standalone
