Review on Sony E 55-210mm Lens for Sony E-Mount Cameras (Black) - International Version (No Warranty): A Comprehensive Review by Chai Charoen ᠌

In conclusion, a telephoto lens that is totally basic, but well-built, and offers a very excellent value for the money. There are, of course, a much fancier, more costly, high-aperture, and pin-cut variants available under the Sony E brand, but the vast majority of new users won't be able to tell the difference between those and the simple 55-210. With all of its perks. * High-quality and constructive, similar to the majority of Sony lenses. The lens has a pleasant and satisfyingly substantial weight to it, and the resulting image is stunningly lovely and lifelike despite the absence of "ringing details." The lens has a variety of focal lengths, ranging from portrait to "tele." It also has image stabilization, which is of great assistance when shooting at longer focal lengths. Finally, the lens is relatively inexpensive, even in its updated form. Cons include: a rather slow autofocus coupled with a "decorative" manual focus ring that cannot be used in any way and a small aperture, which prevents the creation of any fine bokeh and severely restricts the photographer's ability to shoot in low light or at night.
