Sony E 55-210mm f/4.5-6.3 OSS

Sony E 55-210mm f/4.5-6.3 OSS is a good option and within your price range too. When buying lenses second hand, just do everything you can to make sure they are in reasonably good condition like the glass is not scratched or anything.

If you're looking for a budget option, the 55-210mm nets solid images, as long as you remember to set the aperture to f/8. You'll still be able to shoot at short shutter speeds to freeze motion and capture crisp action for outdoor sports and wildlife under bright light at f/8.

Coming from the Canon DSLR system, I am used to the stellar optics of its value telephoto lens: EFS 55-250mm F4-5.6 IS STM. So when I bought the Sony 55-210mm, I had already known that it would not live up to my high expectation. I did not want to invest in those >$1K FE telephoto lenses as I wasn't...

I know this is a cheaper lens, so I am reviewing this with that in mind. It is great for a quick fix that I needed it for until I can afford something better, but there are some major issues for the type of shooting I do that I've noticed. The worst part is that the focus ring is indefinite. It take...

I have used the Sony A6000 camera with all lenses mentioned here. I should first say that my copy of the 55-210mm has a de-centering problem, meaning the left side of the image is sharper than the right side. My comments on sharpness are based on getting acceptable results from the weaker side. Good...

I found a good deal on the 55-210mm, so thought I would give it a try with my new Sony a6000. After a week of shooting I ended up returning it. It's not a bad lens, and some of the images I got were quite nice and sharp, but there were plenty of very soft images as well. It was one of those deals wh...

This is mostly a "comes with it" lens for the Sony a6000 camera. It's a satisfactory lens at a satisfactory price. However, the a6000 is a sturdy workhorse and this lens comes no where close in terms of durability and quality. I'm a high-end consumer shooter without authoritative expertise, but I do...

I bought this for a trip to the serengetti , and was disappointed in the distance it was able to focus on. We were unable to see animals clearly from very far. The picture quality was great but only from closer distances.

The glass in this lens won't ever let you get sharply focused images. As always the smallest aperture gets the sharpest image , but its still not that great. The lower f-stops are quite soft at the plane of focus.
