I mean, it is what it is. It's a lens for a camera.

I bought the sony alpha a6000 camera a few months before buying the lens and realized that the lens it came with did not have much of a zoom on it. I shopped around and found this lens and it is everything I need. I just wish it zoomed even farther and clearer and that its close ups panned out to fit everything in without having to switch the lens out.

I bought this lens as an opened package and I am sure glad I did. The lens takes awesome pictures and the clarity is remarkable. I used this in low light conditions at concerts and also used it for video and the quality has been amazing.

Awesome lens that i use on my ZV E10 the stability is great on it

My only gripe isn’t even with the quality, it’s just too big to fit in my camera bag comfortably.

I got this lens with an A5100 in a bundle for my daughter. I,m not a huge camera guy but the camera and the lens together take some great pics. My daughter used this lens to take pics of a school play and it performed flawlessly. she loves it and it travels with the camera all the time. Great lens especially if you get it for the price BB offers in the bundle.

I had read a lot of great reviews on this lens and for the money it is a good value. It's auto focus was very slow on my a6000, and sharpness was mixed. I usually use my Zeiss 16-70mm, so I'm a bit spoiled when it comes to sharpness and is not really fair to put this lens up against a much more expensive lens. This is why I gave it four stars. It is a good lens for the money, but not the right one for me, so I returned it.

The Sony 55-210 mm E-mount lens is a perfect short telephoto lens for the Sony A-6XXX series of camera's. I bought mine as an "open-box" lens from Bestbuy and you couldn't tell it from a brand-new lens. Sharpness and image quality has been excellent in my A-6000. I can recommend it highly. At the price, it is a tremendous bargain.

I bought this lens for the price and quality. I used it on my Banff National Park trip and it vastly exceeded expectations!

This is a really beautiful telephoto lens. The quality of the image is fantastic, especially for a lens that is around $300. Affordable and will get you close to your subject as well as making lovely images.

Very good product. I was surprised it was well packed and easy to use.

Beginner photographer here. I needed a zoom lens and this fit the bill perfectly without breaking the bank. The lunar eclipse was just the other day and this took some great pictures of it!

Nice lens,it works. You get what you pay for. Not exactly a Ziess.

Just what I expected. Works with my older Sony Alpha 5000 camera but sometimes the auto focus doesn't focus on the desired spot. The camera goes into Macro mode. Tap the shutter for auto focus several times to get the correct image in focus. It is the camera not the lens.

Gift for my son and he loves it. He does sports photography and said its a great lens

The kit pancake is a great lens out of the box, but this lens really allows for some creative shots with great background separation and still bright enough for some decent bokeh. Optical zoom works by compressing the background, so it's not the same as cropping when it comes to image composition.

It's slow but that's not a con because its specs say so. Well built, decent focusing speed, decent image quality. 1 star off because it's too expensive. Other brand's lenses in this zoom range are faster (f/3.5-5.6) and cost slightly less.

I am using this lens with a SonyA6400 camera and am pleased with the quality and especially the price. Best Buy is our go to store for electronics and accessories for electronics. The value and service they offer is superior.

The 200mm clarity is superb.used it for action focuses very quickly and also used it for video. I'm amazed by the quality is the first time I had a Sony camera and I'm very happy with the lenses. And the portability is so much better than my SLR cameras

I am a hobbyist photographer. I bought this lens when I bought my new A6000 for a european family vacation. It works very well, it does not add a ton of extra weight. I found the photos to look great when using the lens except when i maxed out the zoom, which is to be expected ( i would think), but again, i'm not a pro. Very happy with the purchase regardless and i was extremely happy to have this lens on my trip.
