📷 Sony Alpha Digital SLR Cameras | SAM DT Telephoto Zoom Lens 55-200mm f/4-5.6 by Sony Review

Reluctant to buy due to so many confusing negative reviews. Compared to a well-known brand, especially one recommended by my particular camera makers, the price is worth it.

I personally didn't find it "plastic" like others have said. This only

Used lens was purchased for 6.5 thousand in excellent condition - lucky. The crisis price for a new one somehow bites a lot. Photos are pleasing, it is convenient to shoot birds and so on.
