Customer Ratings & Reviews

I'm an amateur photographer so I'm not an expert in any way. I have an Alpha 6000 mirrorless with the standard 15-50mm lens. This is a great upgrade to add some zoom to the camera. Shots are sharp and detailed at all focal lengths IMO. So definitely worth it if you only have the standard lens that came with that camera, or any E-mount Sony camera I guess.

Bought the lens august 2023. Its now november, so far its works like its suppose to. Use it at the san diego zoo for fun. The zoom is just right.

I bought this lens with the kit lens and the a6000. This is a good deal and the lens works very well. Do not buy and adaptor with a non sony lens, you will lose the autofocus capability. This lens is excellent for this price. Sony manufacture great bodies but does not have that many lenses, but these two will do the job.

Yes you can spend more on a lense and you can do a few more tricks but for the price this is an excellent lense. Zoom lense have there problems some less then others but again for the price this is a great value. I not going to give you any more read the reviews. You always read one that trashes it and one the raves about it. Just remember it not a lense the price of the camera but it light and dose the job well.

Purchased this as an additional lens for my Sony A5100, that came with the 16-50mm. This lens is a great performer all round from medium to long range giving a little better quality than the kit lens. This is perfect for animals, outdoor close ups, or anything that u want to get close to that isn't so close. The only thing id say that could be better is a power zoom on it. Can be difficult to hold steady when zoomed in.

We purchased this lens to be able to take pictures of our daughter at high school soccer games. With the bleachers being so far away from the field, we needed something more than our regular camera. The lens allows us to get good shots, with the only issue being night shots. Far from an expert, but simple research found that we'd have to spend a lot more on a lens to be produce good night shots. So, lens is as expected.

This is the one Cheap telephoto leans for Apsc shooter, i would recommend,, for day to day shooting this is pretty good,,

Works great for distance shots. Easy to use and attach.

High quality material and well made. Smooth zoom, quiet focus, quite compact for its zoom range. Though it does protrude outward quite a bit when zoom all the way in. Provides long reach, but is not suitable to be used as a versatile solution because i just could not use it to capture portrait. Manual zoom is not suitable for video recording. it’s quite a heavy lens. Only great for people who shoot pictures of wildlife or who wants long reach. I would guve 3.5 star.

We bought the Sony Alpha a6000 and there was a deal for getting the second lens. It was well worth it! As much as the standard lens takes beautiful images, this one gives us more flexibility in the pictures we take. It was well worth the expense. Maybe not at full price, but with the deal, it was a no brainer.

Item came in good working order for being an open box excellent condition.

It zooms nice but its not the best for concert photography. Photos came out grainy

Use it for my Sony α7S III when I shoot mostly sports. Haven’t got a chance to use it for anything else.

I purchased this lens as part of a bundle with the a6000 and I am very happy that I made that plunge. I think together it saved me $150+ dollars, and without that bundle, I probably would have convinced myself that the extra lens wasn't worth it. However, I would say that I tend to use this lens way more than the one that came with the body. Now I just have to round out the rest of my kit!

This lease is great quality, strength and easy to install.

Purchased the Sony 55-210mm telephoto lens for my Sony a6000 camera. LOVE IT! I take lots of photos (son's baseball and soccer games). I have been wanting a telephoto lens so I can get the shots I want from further distances. Gives me a whole new perspective! LOVE! LOVE! LOVE! Worth the money!

This lens is one of my favorite lenses to take pictures with. The images are so clear and beauitful

This lease quickly became my go-to for nearly everything. Sure it doesn’t have zoom, but there is a reason why it’s called a “prime” lense. It has great low light performance which is where I like to work. And it’s focus and clarity is amazing. Now I need to find a good zoom lense that can also give me a wider viewing angle.

One of the best lens! Works for Sony AX7. Gets recommendation by bestbuy employees

Nice lens for zooming. The best for portrait's when zoomed
