Good budget lens
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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

Good Quality, Pay for what you get
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is an average lens - it offers good quality and a good price. If you wish to get better quality you have to expect to pay a lot more. It comes with a lens hood to avoid glare which is awesome. Has an average zoom to f-stop value but is good for its price (when its on sale).

Zoomed images are amazing
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Great lens for Sony A6000
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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!

Great telephoto lens for the money
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I looked at buying the Sony lens on Amazon and EBAY . Some lenses on these sites were very inexpensive and came with filters and other accessories , but I did not buy them based upon reviews but also questioned the quality, origin of the lens itself, and warranty. As such I purchased from best buy and they matched the Amazon prime price that was listed. Over all the lens works solid and zooms in great with quality photos. I would have liked to have the fully automatic lens with zoom and stabilization but I'm just getting into photography. Once I get more serious then I'll go and spend $1000 + for different lenses. I would highly recommend this lens and the quality.

This is a great lens!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am a neophyte photographer. I enjoy hiking, and bought this lens so I could take pictures when I am hiking around the mountains. It does its job beautifully - easy to attach and detach, focuses well across its entire range, and takes clear, crisp pictures.
