Product Reviews

Picture quality is OK, but when you're at full zoom you get quite soft edges around the Image. The price tells you of the quality. I ended up sending it back as I was not impressed with it.

I bought this a few weeks ago great quality and is a great edition to my kit bag

This kit lens made me feel like I downgraded when switching from A mount to E mount. I think my old DT55-200SAM I had paired to an a300 took higher quality pictures with better bokeh. It makes sense, considering the wider f-stop and 9 blade vs 7blade aperture. With OSS built into the old A-mount cameras, the only thing this lens has on the 55-200SAM is 10mm of focal length. That doesn't compensate for all the areas it falls short. Since the 55-210 is almost double the price and about a decade newer, you would think Sony would make it technologically superior.

This lens produces sharp images at both ends of the scale. lightweight and easy to use. Good value for money.....

It's soft on the telephoto end. If you don't pixel peep it's fine but it is soft when you do.

For the price I was happily surprised at the quality of this lens. It’s not too heavy and looks great. It takes really sharp photos and the auto focus is very quick. If you are on a budget I would seriously recommend getting this.

This was a great gift; I take it everywhere I travel too

suprisingly good for a cheaper lens very happy with my purchase

I have been on and off buying this lens for ages, encouraged by reading good reports and discouraged by reports that were not so good. Recently I purchased and have to say that I am entirely delighted with the results I get from this lens. I take daylight pictures so a slightly slower lens does not affect me, I want sharp pictures and that is what I get. I’m not a beginner, around 60 years experience and would say to potential buyers, don’t hesitate, a great value lens.

The lens is best at mid range and aperture and working around this is easy, don't expect pin sharp fully zoomed images and you'll be laughing all the way to the bank with the hundreds of £'s you will have saved yourself. Yahoo potato.

My favorite kit zoom lens so far. Very fast Auto Focus, great zoom, compact size. The only reason I gave 4 stars is because when zoomed the corners get too a blurry vignette when taking photos as well as hard to keep the focus dial in place when taking shot in manual focus.

I've used this lens several times since buying it for my A6400. Well built, sharp and good value for money.

I used this at the weekend & got some very good pictures

I recently moved from a micro four thirds outfit to the smaller and more compact Sony A 6300 and needed a linger lens . The E55-210 was my choice with its compact size and sheer quality of image . In short an ideal lens which would become a must have with a 2.8 to 4.5 aperture rather than the 4,5 -6.3

I bought this recently as I wanted to take some close ups at a wedding. I thought about it for a while as it is very reasonably priced. It performed very well, sharp photos and blurred background. Overall I am very pleased with the lens

I recently purchased this lens to go with a Alpha 6300 camera. It is a great lens, with a very goof focal length range. Focussing is very quick and the first set of images I took with it are very sharp with great exposure. The lens is very light and easy to handhold with no camera skas or blurred image. An excellent lens to go with the camera

Bought this used off of ebay and its been great. Great for sports stuff where you need the range and the autofocus is quick. Only problem is the relatively small aperture which makes it hard to use indoors if there isnt a lot of light but for the price not much to complain about. Most sports are played outdoors or in well lit gyms, etc. anyways :)

Fantástic lens, practical, easy frendly, fast, not expensive

Great lens. Image stabilization is very effective.

Perfect lens to carry to capture more close up action.

I have had the lense for two weeks and I am extremely happy with the lense.

Bought this last week, great features for the price/good zoom. Does work in low light even at full zoom F6.3. Tried mine in the dark evening.

Very happy for a cheap lens just good for general use

Decent lens for the money a bit heavier than the kit one. I would say excellent for a beginner, good zoom
