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

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.

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.

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.

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!

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

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!

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
