Got this lens because it fit in my small bag with my 16-80 zeiss and give me some extra reach in my quick carry bag. I wasn't expecting too much for the price but I'm impressed with the optics! The only other lenses I've seen at this quality for this price are Olympus. Not a fast lens but given it's size and weight combined with Sony's built in stabilizer it's very useful.

Used my 18-55mm lense and the 55-200 lense on my most recent Cruise. Took 85 excellent, super quality, photos. 60 of these shots were with the 55-200 lense. I could have left the smaller lense. My 55-200mm is now my lense choice to have on the camera, in the ready mode.

Haven't used much but when we need it it works well for the sports action from the stands

I was going to purchase the SAL 75-300, but they were on back order in Honolulu, so I got this from my wife for Christmas. At first I thought it was too light to be a quality lens, but I was totally impressed with the great photos and the excellent range of this lens. The long distant photos were very clear and much better than expected. The weight is because of the plastic materials used, but has no effect over the outstanding pictures taken. I was going to take this lens in when the SAL 75-300 comes in, but that " ain't goin' to happen." Aloha

The superb multi-purpose SAL-DT55200 55-200mm f4-5.6 telephoto zoom lens is an excellent all-around value, covering the medium to long-distance telephoto range you will use most. It also provides close minimum focusing distance of about 3 feet (.95m), for tight shots of people, natural subjects and close-up details. Its compact, lightweight design makes it easy to carry as your standard or accessory lens-and all your shots will benefit from the Sony Super SteadyShot image stabilization system built into every Sony a system DSLR. (35mm equivalent: 82.5-300mm).
