High School Basketball with an F4
First my "bad" comment. I'm not a fan of extending barrels on lenses. For a bunch of reasons, but mainly it's because it creates a too long lens which make it more awkward. Now for the "good". I needed a 70-200 for high school basketball. I really needed an F2.8, but cost made it impossible. Next, how about a G lens for my Sony A6000 is a good choice, but it's F4. High school and college basketball gyms are notorious for bad lighting, and F4 wasn't successful for me in my Nikon days. So I thought, I'd try the Sony SEL55210, which is a 55-210mm F4.5-6.3 OSS E-mount Zoom Telephoto Lens. I have done only one basketball tournament with this lens, at a reasonably new college gym, but alas, the lighting was awful. I took only one camera and lens, so I would have to make it work. Sony A6000 (mainly because it shoots 11 frames a second, and a has a really good focusing system. Over 5 games, 160 minutes of play, I shot 1,931 pictures. That's 12 shot a minute average. I kept seeing the photos as I shot, and kept not believing that the compbo of this camera and lens could take such good, clear, bright pictures. When I got home and went though them on the computer screen, I was dumbfounded. It didn't matter that the lens extends. It only matters that the results were excellent. The purchase of this lens was well worth it, 50 fold over. Doubly so when you consider the low price. Can't wait to use it outdoors, in daylight.

Fair Lens for the Price
It's a fair lens. Given the price and it's decent build quality, I'm okay with it. My biggest problem is with the zoom creep. The zoom doesn't actually creep by itself, but the slightest force will make it creep. If I wear the camera around my neck, and have the camera tilted around 20 degrees downwards, the soft bounce/swing motion of the camera when walking will cause the lens to creep out to the 100mm focal point by the time I walk about 10-ish feet. Because of this problem, my hands were on my lens the whole time I walked the zoo the other day even though the camera was hanging from my neck the whole time, because I didn't want the lens to creep out and be prone to damage. Keep in mind that this is just a new lens and it's already this loose on my second or third weekend using it. Other than the above mentioned problems, it seems fine. For autofocus, it focuses at a decent speed. Clarity/sharpness is good enough for my needs. If you want anything noticeably better, you're gonna be looking at 7x to 8x the price.

Great Value Telephoto
I come from decades of experience, as an amateur, with multiple formats and lots of lens use. I was doubtful this little lightweight (but beautifully constructed) lens would deliver the image quality I wanted, but the price is so reasonable I opted to try it. My copy is superb! Crisp images at all focal lengths, acceptable distortion, with excellent color saturation. It zooms without friction, smooth as butter. For the price and its obvious limitation (only 4.5/6.3) it is an ideal lens to place in your bag or carry mounted on the camera (very lightweight).

Great outdoor travel lens
For those with Sony Alpha A6xxx series cameras, this has a lot going for it. It's main benefits are a good zoom range (82mm-315mm 35mm equivalent), and compact, lightweight construction. It's biggest down side is its slow variable aperture (f4.5-f6.3) which rapidly diminishes as you zoom to longer focal lengths. Which means it's typically most useful outdoors in bright conditions (and only useful under those conditions at its longer focal lengths) But at 55mm it sports a faster aperture than the usual 18-55 f4.5-f5.6 kit lens. And it's center sharpness is quite good at all focal lengths. There is some pin-cushioning/barrel distortion near min and max focal lengths, as well as some vignetting, but it is automatically corrected for JPEGs and in a lot of RAW developers. Corners can be a little softer for subject matter like landscapes where the whole frame needs maximum detail, but if there is a main subject in the center of the photo, its not objectionable and can help accentuate that main subject. Overall, a great outdoor travel lens and very good value.

Great Value for budget minded photogs...
Lightweight and easy to use. I picked this up as a companion to the lens (16-50mm) that came with my a6000. Be mindful that this is a manual zoom lens. I've used this in a few different settings and am very pleased with the results. Focus time at the 210mm is somewhat slow, but for me, that's not an issue. The sample photos attached have been resized and compressed, so please bear that in mind. All were taken at the max focal length and have not been cropped.

Great Emount Lenses
These lenses complete the @6000 point and shoot package. They allow all of the cameras neat features to work. I am no pro, but I like to have a nice sharp in focus photo and not have to think a lot. These in combination with the a6000 do just that. I looked at the "old glass" and adapters, and they are wonderful, but for me these work just as well without the bother.

A great value for a great product!
A great quality lens for my Sony a6000. The pen, air pump, wipe, and cap keeper work well. The UV filter fits nicely and can be used with the lens cap without having to take the filter off. The lens hood that is included as an accessory does not work with the lens. However, a hood of better quality is included inside the Sony retail box and works great so I won't complain. Lens is definitely powerful even from far away. Love it and the price is at least $100 under normal retail. Very satisfied. With my purchase.

Nice lens but the accessories are not great.
I am the proud owner of a new (to me Sony A6000). The standard kit lens is "ok" but I wanted to go with a longer telephoto for a bit more reach. Sony makes some decent, affordable lenses and this one seems to fit the bill. It is on the E-Mount system so it works with the onboard autofocus and aperture controls. It is smooth and easy to zoom. The deluxe accessory kit was a bit of a letdown. The filters are the wrong size for this lens and need to be used with an enclosed adapter. Problem is that if you use the adapter neither the stock lens hood nor the screw on tulip style one that comes with this kit will work. The accessory kit is therefore totally useless to me, thus the knock of one star.

Love this lens
I tried 2 of the higher end E lenses and was not enamored with them. After reading all the reviews I had a hunch this was going to be the one, and it is. I love the zoom, it doesn't have to be perfectly steady, and doesn't feel too cumbersome in the hands. This is my second NEX camera, totally hooked!

Made in china, but what else isnt?
This lens looks and feels like the real thing. It fits my Nex F3 camera and i've already taken some test shots, the image is clear and amazing. I highly recommend this lense for closer than usual shots.
