Sony E Mount E 55 210Mm F4.5 6.3 OSS Aps-C Lens (Sel55210) | Telephoto Zoom | Nature & Sports Photography, Black

Occasional photo or video sessions outdoor, people, birds or animals.This lens has stood test of time, what a nifty product from Sony. It's in the name that provides a sense of security and assurance.Picture quality for landscapes is by the best in this and one range above. Sharpness is to be desired, hey this costs 5 times less than your premium ones so no complaints.Video works best for static or using tools like stands, wrenches or gimbal. Keeping steady shot is tough when zoomed in. OSS works best on pictures though.

Like every other Sony product, even this lens didn't disappoint me! It's affordable and lightweight, good for beginners. Image quality is fine, provides good zoom(manual), stabilization is excellent, autofocus is not very fast, but is good enough to capture birds in flight. Overall happy with the product and is totally worth the price!

|| Tested on full frame mirrorless camera (Sony A7III) ||It's a lens for APS-C format dslr/mirrrorless camera. So if you're buying it for using it on a full frame body, you have to know you will not get the full resolution picture of your camera, you'll get a cropped resolution image as it is an APS-C format lens. So, before complaining about the image quality, you have to know this well known fact. Now, if you use it on an APS-C body, you'll get pretty good images with full resolution. I'm happy with the image quality. The auto focus is also great! If you like to take photos occasionally as a hobby like me, then you'll be happy with the lens, but if you're a professional photographer, you should opt for better quality Sony G Master lens which is 5-6 times higher the cost. I didn't have much time to spend with this lens. So, I'm sharing 3 images which I've taken yesterday. I will try to update this review with more images in future if possible. [Updated]If you use it on your Sony A7iii, you'll get 10MP images or 24MP images with black corners.

Value for money.

I purchased a Sony a6000 3 years ago and have been examining lenses ever since. One of the main issues with the Sony camera range is the cost of the lenses- which leads me to this review!This lens is the standard kit lens that goes with older camera models of this type and with the price, you can’t go far wrong.It’s not the best lens in the world- the picture I’ve taken have all been pretty good. If you are looking for a cheap, budget zoom lens for the alpha cameras I would recommend this.

Very good

Good for its price. Very lightweight and cheap. Image is reasonably sharp if the subject is not too far away. Towards the telephoto end and beyond a certain distance the image quality deteriorates too much to be usable at all.

I own an older model of Sony α NEX 3 which I imported from USA. By mistake purchased a pancake lens SEL16F28 which although does the job is poor at portrait shots and macro because of a fixed lens assembly. So I went ahead and bought this telephoto lens and man was I blown!!! Some sample shots are there for your review. The only con I could point is the slow autofocus but once it identifies the subject, sbilization is just awesome!!!! Shows that even though hardware is dated but the lenses make a lot of difference!!! 😍😍😍
