I don't use auto focus, so this is pretty great for me. It has the OSS which is reducing the hand shake and it is important when you zoom something far away. The quality is great too!

I bought this lens as part of a package deal, so I got $200 off. I wouldn’t pay full price for it though. Pictures are not sharp at full extension especially if you are not in direct sunlight. This is to be expected considering the price range.

It's a must if you buy the new a6000. If you want to be serious about what your doing. Part of what separates this from the rest. Fastest autofocus on the market. I don't buy knock off stuff and I am pleased with this new product line.

Coming from a point and shoot camera, I was not real impressed with this zoom lens. But when I started to learn how to use my camera I have really come to like the lens. It does exactly what is supposed to and it's relatively light weight.

This product is a MUST! Such a great zoom. Portraits look very flattering, you can zoom in enough to see details even of the moon. I definitely recommend!

This lens takes sharp photos, beautiful photos. Best buy also has a price matching program so I saved a little bit of money on it. The only negative thing I have to say about this lens is the autofocus is kind of slow and the minimum focusing distance is not great, but for the price it's a bargain!

I have been very happy with this lens. I really had no expectation as it was my first telephoto lens for my A6000. The only down side is it does not come with a case and that is why I gave it 4 stars. The lens itself is a 5.

Good Quality, Pay for what you get

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).

A "Must Have" lens

This lens is so much more compact than the comparable lens I had for my "retired" Nikon D90. Easy to mount and handled, It is an essential component for Sony Alpha E-mount cameras. You will not be unhappy with it.

purchased this the same time as we purchased our new sony camera. natural fit as the lens that comes with the camera is limited. this gives the zoom needed to really capture what is happening without having to be on top of it.

Extra lens purchase

When I bought my Sony a6000, the 16/50 was the only lens that came with the camera. I saw this item at the store, and wanted the exta range that the 55/210 mm provided. It works very well , I am happy with the purchase .

Great lenses for Sony a7000

A much needed accessory for the sony A7000. Wish though Sony made the lens on the Sony A7000 up to at least 105mm, then this extra lens would not be needed. However the price was $100 less if bought together with the camera

Well this lens came in a bundle with the sony a6000. I haven't really got a chance to use this lens as I've been using the smaller lens. But i did snap a few pictures with it. They seemed to do the job fairly well.

This lens plus the kit lens will cover all that you really need as a beginner or enthusiast. The telephoto lens gives great image quality and not much distortion at the far ends. Good lens with the Best buy bundle deal i got
