  | sent on 02 Marzo 2023 Pros: Stabilization, weight, cost Cons: maybe a bit dark but for the cost there is no need to go for the thin Opinion: Bundled with the 16-50 along with the A6000 for a total cost that I would call negligible. I use it little preferring the versatility of the 18-135 but all in all it is a good lens to practice with medium-long focal lengths and to bring home interesting shots. It goes without saying that the 70-350 is on another planet but the 55-210 has been designed for much less performing sensors, however in the right conditions it says its own. Ideal to start also given the ease with which it is used, in any case in the gallery of this lens I saw some valuable photos of birds to further demonstrate that the "handle" counts more than the equipment |
 | sent on 17 Settembre 2021 Pros: Stabilization, bulk, weight, cost Cons: I would say brightness, but given the price you can not ask for more Opinion: I consider it a fairly sharp and practical lens. The brightness is not his forte but on days with good light he also takes home some nice photos. Everything must be put in relation to the price, in my opinion for the price it has is not bad. If you want more in this range of focal lengths you have to put your hand to the wallet unless you use a-mount lenses with its adapter (and even so you risk spending more). |
 | sent on 01 Gennaio 2021 Pros: Lightweight, compact, stabilized, good autofocus Cons: dark, poor yield at 210mm Opinion: He was part of my kit for a long time, paired with the 16-50 PZ and 50mm f1.8 Olympus that I fished from an old analog kit. To be an optical kit aimed at beginners is really good, stabilization manages to compensate well for its ridiculous brightness. And brightness is its weak point. An f6.3 I can accept from 300mm up, but not on 210 mostly for APS-C. They could have done it slightly bigger and earned at least one f5.6 to make it really perfect for novice amateurs |
  | sent on 02 Marzo 2020 Pros: Lightness, compactness, speed and silence AF, stabilization, optical yield (from f. 8 onwards), solidity, price Cons: Dark (but on the ML does not notice it almost), optics not excellent under f. 8 to all focal (poor to T.A.!), Opinion: Taken used for 110 euros to complete the endowment of my Sony a5000, I was immediately surprised by the speed and quietness of the focus. The stabilization also surprised me by giving me still shots at the maximum focal (about 315 mm. in equivalent shoals on F.F.) with shooting times up to 1/60 freehand. Disappointing at T.A., it becomes unobtrusive at f. 8 and good over f. 8 up to f. 16-f. 18; then it expires a little bit because of the diffraction. The brightness of the environment also has a bit of an impact on the yield of the lens: in good light conditions, excellent shots come out, in low light or in the absence of contrast (grey or foggy sky) do not always come out decent shots, not even mounted on tripod. I also used it in combination with extension tubes, for close-up, but here the result was almost always disappointing because the goal, in itself, does not express that microcontrast that only the real macro goals offer. For trips and excursions, when you need to go light, however, it gives nice satisfactions and therefore I recommend it as long as you do not pay it more than 140/150 euros. |
 | sent on 25 Dicembre 2019 Pros: building materials; fast and silent focus; light; compact; Stabilization Cons: lack of sharpness; price without discounts; you have to understand it to make good shots Opinion: I took this lens during Black Friday on amazon taking advantage of the cashback sony, as a result I paid 150 euros. as soon as mounted I was amazed by the silence of the focus (so much so that my father asked me if he was an ultrasonic). The fact that it is lack of light I do not consider it a flaw because it is a kit lens at the end of the day. after the first tests I was left with bitterness in the mouth, very little sharpness (in comparison the canon 55-250 stm looks like an L series) and chromatic aberrations that make it difficult to photograph small subjects in the backlight. After a few days of use you learn to use and appreciate it because it is not a lens to throw away. it's convenient to use, and as long as you don't exaggerate with the crop it has a decent yield. in conclusion if you find it under 200 euros is a must-have because in combination with 16-50 you are covered at all the focal points with very little expense and a lot of compactness. otherwise if you have a bigger budget bet on 18-135 mm or 70-200 f4 if you are ambitious EDIT: now the 70-350 that represents a quality alternative if you have a higher budget |
 | sent on 27 Agosto 2019 Pros: Price, construction Cons: Dark Opinion: I bought this lens at for 110 euros (thanks to Sony cashback) ahead of the trip to South Africa. I didn't expect magic, but instead it turned out to be a great travel companion on safaris where I never took it off. Solid construction given the price. He gave me great pictures. Clearly it is dark, especially at high focal points, but with light or iso car the shot takes it home. Recommended for those who start with longer focal points and don't want to invest at least 1k for a used 70-200 f4 |
 | sent on 01 Agosto 2019 Pros: Light, compact, price Cons: Dark, not very sharp at TA Opinion: I have been using this lens for a year and a half and for a long time I have not used it because I did not fully understand its potential. In my opinion it is the right companion of adventure for those who are at the beginning and want to experiment portraits and why not fauna. If you respect small measures such as, shoot only in good light conditions and with openings on f7,f8 the lens is very sharp and clean. It has no distortions or aberrations. Limits arise when you are looking for speed in the shot and you are in low light conditions. There the drop in yield is dramatically evident. |
  | sent on 28 Luglio 2019 Pros: Focus, stabilization, weight, assembly Cons: Indecent optical yield (see review update) Opinion: I was very disappointed by this goal, soft, too soft a bit to all the focal points but especially to those canvases. Yield is only acceptable by closing the diaphragm a lot around F11. Too bad because the OSS stabilization works perfectly and the focal excursion would make him the ideal companion of the 16-50 kit lens that is not even a blade but is still able to give many satisfactions. Taken, tried for three days and returned. To those who say that you have to be satisfied given the price I report that a little all the houses have similar zoom list in cheap version and that cost much less than this... but they're fine, you see Canon's STM and Olympus's non-PRO optics (of which I liked and very much the 40-150) just to not name. UPDATE: My judgment of the surrender I have called indecent could be a consequence of the exclusive use of MAF in AFS. Apparently on the A6000 the MAF in AFC is much better performing, which I could check with other optics. So take my very negative opinion with the springs, unfortunately I made the lens and I can not, for now, do other tests. |
 | sent on 31 Gennaio 2019 Pros: Compact, lightweight, good build quality, very fast autofocus, stabilized, excellent value for money. Cons: Dark, photo quality not the best, if you put the parasular to the contrary goodbye focus ring. Opinion: Do you want quality from 70-200 f4? Buy the 70-200 f4 or anytime other lens that costs between 5 and 10 times this and forget the unnecessary chatter that this lens sucks! This is a great goal, very useful in many respects especially if you have good light and little money =) Autofocus fast, takes everything! The stabilization is great, it makes you get off half the shutter speed and this compensates for the maximum aperture of F 6.3. Decent quality of the photos and still workable in PP. Few chromatic aberrations and distortion absent. Who likes to criticize this lens remember that it costs 200e! You can not expect from a slow from 200euro the same quality of a 1500 euro lens! Photo and video quality: 7.5; Build Quality: 8.5. To have in the outfit if you want to keep your budget low. |
 | sent on 03 Ottobre 2018 Pros: Lightweight, compact, stabilized, Autofocus, unrivalled price-quality ratio, good construction Cons: All the limits of an economical tele, not motorized. Opinion: I do not understand the judgements too strict for a tele with these characteristics considering that you take it home to about €220 with warranty Sony Italy. What would be the alternative in that price range? I had a a6000 (recently reworked with a 6300) and the lens was part of the kit together with the 16-50mm. I can affirm that it represented the main objective by detecting almost a handyman... At 210mm the full moon test discreetly exceeds it, as are discrete portraits with focal lengths around 100mm with a good yield also of the blurred. Unnecessary comparisons with lenses that cost 5 or 10 times as much, we talk about other things. In good light conditions returns good satisfactions once learned what are its obvious limits, maybe you have to consider that a Sony alpha 6000/6300 push it to 1000 ISO, which in certain conditions are many, without introducing any noise and that The fact that it's stabilized makes you go up, just as long as shutter time. Recommended! |
 | sent on 25 Agosto 2017 Pros: beautiful, compact, light Cons: Dark, sharpness Opinion: Dark lens and non-stellar sharpness. The ambitious photo amateur would do better to take directly the 70 350 g oss just released since it is more contrasted and also has a much greater excursion... the autofocus of this is valid and responsive, but I tried it on a6000, not on the new bodies. Aesthetically it is well cared for, I would say suitable more for the casual amateur than for the evolved photo amateur |

| sent on 19 Agosto 2017 Pros: Lightweight, cheap and well done. Minimum footprint Cons: Obviously not too bright, it's not a blade especially at TA Opinion: I have this objective for a few months and have tested it with a Sony a5000.rnPartiamo dai pro: Even at 350g you have a good, well-constructed, fully metal canvas, which guarantees a feeling of solidity and robustness. Along with the 16-50 covers 90% of the photos and even though my standards are not professional, you can bring home very interesting results, all with a ridiculous footprint! It certainly is not the brightest objective that exists but Sony's advice is to sacrifice some brightness to keep the size smaller: the Aps-C system and Mount mounts the smallest force and so it seems to me a consistent choice. At its maximum focal length it loses a bit 'Sharpness but nothing tragic.rnPayed 245 € from a well-known online store I was very pleased! |
 | sent on 01 Marzo 2017 Pros: Beautiful, light, well finished, good good stabilizer and autofocus. Cons: The maximum brightness in use canvases and 'too low. It would be better to do a little 'more' wide and heavy but more 'light :(. The image definition is not' particularly good. Towards the focal more 'lost in high definition and contrast. Opinion: I was very disappointed because 'from Sony I expected a lot more' :( .rnE 'a nice little toy, (obligated .... because of the scarcity' of optical human price to Sony offers for Emount :(), but absolutely not live up to 24 megapixel sensor of my Nex 7.rnSe exclude ease of use, (being autofocus and stabilized it is much appreciated in practical use), it is "torn" markedly from optics 30/40 years ago in the definition and brightness (Canon FD 100-300mm f5.6 MF - Jupiter 21M MF 200mm f4 -Canon 200mm f4 MF - Tamron 300mm f5.6 MF) .rnFotografando people over 20mt..avifauna esempio..ed for having the need to crop a little 'trouble starts,' cause the subject loses a lot in definizione.rnConsiglierei other optical, but the problem dell'Emount and 'that there' a great alternative to optical Sony (however few) if you He wants optics autofocus and stabilized .... ahime'.rnrnrn |
 | sent on 12 Gennaio 2017 Pros: Pro: I use the 55-210 for two years paired with Sony Nex-6 with full satisfaction, especially in the portrait and the maximum focal playing with selective focus, flowers (v. The attached photo). For what it costs, it's a good goal and total gives me a lot of satisfaction. Cons: Cons: Set to 55 mm focal length, while having a good resolution to the center, the edges decade but in normal use it on longer focal and the defect is not noticed. The brightness is not his forte and in low light conditions, the autofocus effort. ISO AUTO the problem is almost always the solution. Opinion: I'm an old amateur photographer since the early eighties (before Canon AT1, then AE1 Program, then Minolta 7000 all with various optics and accessories). I've always preferred genres of portrait and flowers with excursions into the landscape. Somewhere tired year (perhaps for age) of the weights and dimensions I have taken refuge in the mirrorless Sony home. It is a good product, ideal complement "travel" for those who have chosen the nex system (I have a nex6), aware of not having the top but quite demanding not to be content with such leading products and snaps. It's not flawless, but certainly the optical performance are overall good of the entire zoom range, making it extremely versatile. Ultimately, I am satisfied and recommend it to all lovers and-mount. |
 | sent on 09 Dicembre 2015 Pros: Good quality lens made from medium-high. More than adequate handyman fruibilissimo at all focal lengths. Cons: Dim, making it the best especially with so much light, otherwise it "softens". Suboptimal in TA, but still usable. Opinion: In more than a year in the "world" and I must say it-mount lens that I used more and knowing I have learned to use it in its ideal conditions and obtained many high-quality images. But in fact you have to learn their limits. The stabilization works very well, very effectively. The rest I agree with those who commented before me. |

 | sent on 11 Giugno 2014 Pros: Objective very light and compact and with excellent build quality. Good sharpness. Cons: Not very bright but it is a standard tele. Opinion: Telephoto zoom lens with excellent quality. Taken as a kit with black and a6000 16-50. It 's the perfect complement to a kit for Sony not remain lacking on the canvas. Very good sharpness, even wide open, in the middle. Greatly improves the corners closing one / two stops. When paired with fast autofocus bodies with hybrid AF system. Very good quality / price ratio. Comes complete with lens hood and caps. |
 | sent on 23 Aprile 2014 Pros: Objective very compact, maneuverable and lightweight. Rings of focus and zoom friction well, the build quality is excellent outside. The optical quality is controversial and somewhat surprising. In fact, using 210 mm focal length with selective focus at one meter you can do macro razor-sharp and the OSS system works fine. Supplied with lens hood and caps at a cost less than 300 euros. Cons: Set to 55 mm focal length, and has a good resolution in the center, the edges (especially at the lower left) has a strong blur. The defect at the beginning had me stressed out and I thought about returning it, then I saw that the normal use is on top and the focal defect disappears. The brightness is not great and in poor light conditions the auto focus a little effort to find peace. With ISO AUTO the problem is almost always the solution. Opinion: Very compact and lightweight zoom ideal for a Sony Nex-7 kit. Equipped with specific Nex electronic viewfinder because the focal length imposes almost always selective focus, almost impossible only with the screen. A lens I used a lot and still gives me great satisfaction, great for taking pictures from a distance, especially through the crowd to capture street scenes genre, also good for portrait and macro insects especially when you need fast execution. I highly recommend it for its value for money. |
