This is a nice and portable telephoto lens for starters. Also light-weight, which makes it easy to carry around. Great buy when you bundle it with camera. Highly recommended.

Nice range and quality for the price. However, if you want better sharpness, I would invest in a higher-end lens

best option for a lens for an e-mount camera

Wanted a 300 mm lens but found out that a 300 lens was not available for an e-mount camera. Choice was an additional purchase of an adapter or taking a 200mm lens. Took the 200 choice and it works well so far.

Sony 55-210 f/4 Telephoto lend good value

Good value for the price. The standard kit lens that comes with Sony a6000 is not very versatile. I purchased this lens for a alround replacement and also purchased a Ziess 55mmm f/1.8 for it's superior optics. Best Buy also matched a competitors price on both lenses , which I always compare before I buy.

Like the smaller size (less bulky and easier to carry around) and that it offers point and shoot for quick photos plus other options for more professional operators. Photos have been great.

Works great with Sony A6000 series camera I just purchased. Although it only has a manual zoom, I’m alright with that since it works with the cameras autofocus feature.

This was purchased as a package deal with my camera. I am so glad I decided to do the package and get the Telephoto lens. This is the one I use the majority of the time and I love it.

I was definitely sold on the Distance that this lense captures and the Ability to capture a photo focusing on the main person and blurring the background. Amazing lens would recommend it to any photographer who does portrait photography not to much Nature photography nor sports photography.

I am new at using the lenses and the camera. I am still learning the ins and outs. But, the learning curve on this is so great. I am glad that I can learn and every picture at every range is better than the last.

I'm super pleased with my 55-210mm Sony lens! It is great for product reviews, landscapes, clear portraits, etc. The size is not too bulky for what it can do and easily fits into my camera bag.

I took this lens with me to South Africa. I wanted to use it for the Safari. This was my first time purchasing a lens for my Sony a5100. I absolutely loved it and the quality. Great for beginners.

Telephoto lens 55-210mm is a must have in combination with 18-75mm which came with the camera. But lens together with the camera so you qualify for a bundled deal.

Last year purchased the camera with a lens; however, the zoom in factor was not that great. This year this addition has made pictures from a distance look amazing. The results are better than expected.

Zoom is fantastic for the kind of photos that I take. I love the fact that I can sit in the bleachers and take shots of my students running their races in both track and cross country.

Its a great lens. Makes the camera more powerful. The lens which comes with the Sony A6000 camera originally is not up to the mark for outside photography and this one fills the gap.

This lens is awesome! I bought it for my wife for Christmas for her Sony alpha 6000 and the pictures she takes with this lens from football fields away are amazing! The detail would make you think she was feet away and a pro photographer!

I bought this initially to give myself a bit more range than the 18-135 included with my A6400. However, the additional range wasn’t very substantial but the loss of use for close ups was, as well as the poor minimum magnification range.
