A Decent zoom lens

Purchased this lens with the A6400 bundle to use for my sports & music photography before purchasing more adaptable lenses for further use.

Excellent value.

This is a remarkable lens. Good value for money. Nice and light on the camera. Seems well constructed. Having given it a test run, in the garden, I find the resultant images to be very acceptable, considering its price. Very happy with this product.

Lens is bad, was tough even wasting time on review

Lense is so bad, and out of focus (auto or manual) that it just takes up space in camera case now. Pics cant even be photoshopped.

Crystal Clear Images!

I tested this lens with my new Sony A6400 camera and so far have been well pleased with the quality of the images. They are clear and show colours in their entirely. It is very easy to use and I will need to get more practice but so far I am more than happy with the results.

Quality, size, reach and cost effective!

With ASP-C sensor technology ever increasing, I decided to purchase this lens to round out my a6700 purchase. This completed my conversion from a full-frame system. Combining the a6700 imaging with current photo editing software applications proves to me that I can get the same print quality as I did with my full-frame system. My only issue, which is minor with this lens is that it is not weather sealed.

Decent for a kit lens

Not sure why I'm getting asked for a review a full decade later & after I just traded it in, but here it is. Decent lens. But it was a pain swapping lenses so much since this is an APS-C lens and starts at the full frame equivalent of 82.5, that is telephot territory. The aperture is small, so it's not great in low light. It's small, light, and has good range. But it's a consumer lens, not a professional one.

Great value for money

Got this lens a month ago and I am over the moon with it. For around £200 the pictures are surprisingly sharp and the stabilisation makes the focus very reliable. I pair it with a Sony A6000 and together they are perfect for casual photography.

Lightweight compact portable for beginners

The lens is a compact lightweight option which i used with the a6600. I used it for street photography and wildlife photography, I got it as it was affordable and wanted to try out the mid telephoto focal lens range, turns out I love it.

You get what you paid for

Added this telezoom lens last month to the a6640 with kit lens. For indoor sports shooting, the manual zooming needs come getting used to. A bit tight n lagging compared to my old Canon L lens. But for the price it is good enough to get the close up shots of players.

Very good value for money

I bought this as logical lens to go with the 16-50mm EPZ kit lens that came with my Sony A6000. The lens certainly adds a lot of extra reach and creative flexibilty with good optics. It is lightweight and perfect partner to go with the kit lens especially if travelling . The picture quality for the price point is very good in my opinion.

I previously sold one but missed it so bought it

I previously owned this lens but I sold it and replaced with a much longer lens. Whilst the longer lens is a much better lens all round, it was much bigger and heavier to carry around for a walk around lens. This is when I realised the Sony SEL55210 E 55-210mm was a very useful lens and much easier to use as a walk around lens so I decided to replace it with a new one. Is it the best lens around no, however for the value for money, the size and weight of the lens and what you are getting for your money, I would definitely say yes. If you want that extra reach and want to add another lens to your kit lens, you won't go far wrong with this one. I cannot give it 5/5 but 4/5 I would say is an reasonable score.

Bang for your buck

A really suitable budget long lens for beginners that not only does not break your bank, but offers exceptional quality for its price. If you are someone who just got into photography, pick this lens up as it brings you so much more possibilities in your shots.

Lightweight and small

SEL55210 is small, lightweight, with wide range of focal length and has an image stabilisation - perfect for full day hiking, biking, walking, when every gram counts. I use it mostly for landscape, but also in other areas of photography, when I need telephoto zoom. Good price is a bonus.

By howelbre

To answer the first comment: You say you have the NEX-5 which should have come with the 18-55mm lens correct? If so then you should just go for this lens. 1) It is over $400 cheaper than the 18-200mm zoom lens and zooms further than that one by a bit. 2) Another reason why you should just go for this lens is because if your camera came with the 18-55 zoom lens, then this one, the 55-210mm lens, would basically pick up where the 18-55mm lens left off and go the extra distance you were looking ...

Great addition!

By sportspix

I got the NEX5N last month, and couldn't wait for this 55-210mm lens to come out. I just received it last week! I find to be a great addition to the 18-55mm that comes with the camera. It provides telescoping capability, and works so seamlessly with the camera's shooting and editing functions. The camera recognizes the shutter and aperture ranges for this lens, so functions like manual focus, priority continuous shooting, and panoramic shots still comes out well. Optical quality is what you'd...
