    We purchased this lens as our son wrestles and it is hard to get good pictures way up in the stands. It does focus closer and does take nice pictures. For the price of the lens I was hoping to get a closer view but it works for what we could afford.

    Bought this item used in excellent condition. The lens is a huge upgrade from the 28-60mm. The optical steady shot works well as also. Have not had any issues with focus or latency with this lens. The body is aluminum and the sun shield is plastic the lens feels sturdy and attaches securely. Can’t beat it for the price. This is not a macro lens it’s focus range begins at about 4ft

    Lens build quality is very good,image quality is good with some minor issues at the 210mm end. f6,3 is slower than I like but at the price it's a necessary sacrifice.

    This is a good lens but I am looking for a lens that allows very close macros and zooming in to distance. Unfortunately that lens costs way to much! I just have to use what I can afford.

    This is a decent lens. It could be faster and should be faster. Sony charges a lot for their lenses and they are typically slower than other comparable lenses. But it is the most affordable zoomer lens they make so it is necessary.

    Seems like a decent lens but is made for a crop sensor, didn't realize when they salesman suggested it for my A7ii. Didn't like the cropping on the full frame so I returned it.

      Hi ODBJ, Yes, the SEL55210 is designed for crop sensor. You might want to look at the SEL24240 or the SEL70300G lens for full frame sensor. Best regards, Zander sony_US

    It's a decent e-mount lens for the price, but it's speed is rather slow. But don't get me wrong, you just can't beat the price and I knew the speed issues before I bought it.

    The lens is ok but when using it at 210 mm the image quality is compromised. I don’t think you can expect too much from a kit lens.

    The lens provides excellent picture quality, however the f-stop is extremely high. This lens would be exceptional if it was offered an F2.8
