Great addition for my lovely Sony NEX
This telephoto lens is an amazing addition to an even more wonderfull NEX camera. The reason that I choose this camera and lens is that I see it comfortable to take it (unlike a big and probably better SLR) to any outdoor activity event. I got wonderful pictures with this kit during rock climbing, skiing and travelling. Apparently I became a NEX-fan

Very nice lens
This lens gives a lot of reach on my a6000, and the built-in optical stabilization is useful for both stills and video. It's sharp and compact. I wish it were maybe a stop faster, but that would make it a lot more expensive. It's a great lens to have in the bag for those times when the 16-50 isn't quite long enough. A good bang for the buck.

So simple I can use it.
I purchased the Sony NEX 5 a few months ago along with an adaptor for use with my regular SLR lenses and was frustrated at the slow speed. After researching I purchased Sony lens and it is as simple as twist and shoot. As a novice photographer I am always amazed at the compliments I get. Well they have gone up ten fold with this new lens.

Excellent lens for a decent price
This lens balances well on my Nex-6 and the sharpness is excellent for the price. The lens is light and appears well made. It is definitely not for birders or extreme action photos, but for the enthusiast with average needs, it fills the need nicely. If you have a Nex5r or Nex6, be sure to update the lens' firmware for faster focusing.

Great lens!
I just got this lens and have only used it once, but I love it!! When I first got my NEX C3 with the 18-55 kit lens that it came with, I kept saying I need a telephoto lens, and the 55-210 lens is just what I wanted! I'm looking forward to being able to take it out and use it more to see what kind of pictures I can get with it.

I would recommend B&H to all
The lens i ordered for my Sony Nex-5 works great. I use this lens for taking shots the normal lens just cant pick up. No problems to report at this time as since its a Sony product, i know that it will last a long time. B&H delivered this lens quickly and considering im in Afghanistan, it arrived sooner then expected.

Great item - great deal
This is the first time I have had something other than a point and shoot camera. Bought this together with the Sony A5000 as recommended by one of B&H's finest.Thought it's more camera than I'm used to, and the learning curve is big, I am pleased with the ease of handling and the photographic results using this lens.

Very useful lens at a great price
Have had one outing with this lens. Found it to easy to use with good looking photographs. Subject were birds and seals from a moving boat. Autofocus and continuous shooting were very handy. Weight of the lens is minimal making it a good addition to the small and light a6300.A good lens at a great price.

Great addition to the NEX line
I got this lens when I ordered my NEX 7 kit. Perfect addition along with the 18-55 kit lens. The image quality seems better than that lens. It is also very light and QUIET. The only real drawback is it is a slow lens, but that goes with lightweight, smaller lenses that fit the NEX line in size.

Sharp and shimy
I bough this lens not expecting too much from it. However, when paired with the Nex 5n, the image quality is nothing short of stunning...rich saturated photos and tack sharp focusing. Hunts a little in low light, but at the preice you can't expect perfection.Much better than its price suggests

Excellent Lens
I use this lens on my new Sony a6000 to complement the kit lens my camera came with. I find the image quality is very good at all ranges. In fact, I like this lens more than the 16-50mm kit lens. For the price I have found this lens to be a very good when you need that extra reach.

excellent value
Excellent build quality. Photos best at f/9 through 13 (this is smaller than, for instance, my Canon L lenses, where f/7.1 to 8 is already super-sharp across lens). Bought to use on 5N casually when taking hikes rather than carry heavier Canon 5Dii. Been very happy with images.

Not Super Impressed
The optical quality of this lens is disappointing. It is light, well made, and I like the range. But I'm getting very soft images across the range. Not sure if it is defective and I need to return it or this is really what I should be expecting. If it is, I am very unimpressed.

It delivered beyond my expectations
I purchased this lens to complement my NEX-5R with 18-55 to increase my zoom capability. Unlike other reviewers I have found the auto focus good even hand held and using the additional zoom capability in the NEX. Results in low light and night shots have been excellent.

It's ok but not the best
I've used this for about a few weeks now, but it hasn't really been a prefered choice, as the range is not flexible enough and it's a bit soft, having to stop down even more, it's already a slow lens at f4.5, consider your use case first before considering this lens.

Decent small zoom
Got this in a bundle with the a6300 and nailed a pretty good discount. For the money, the lens can't really be beat. I wish the aperture were a bit lower for more light gathering but the OSS keeps the shakes from ruining your shot with the slower shutter speeds.

Purchased because of size
Because of back/neck issues, I bought the Sony NEX 5 N. The telephoto lens fit the bill in terms of weight. I'm a newbie at this so I can't compare with other lens in this category but the few shots that I've taken so far have come out crisp and clear.

Nicely finished, compact zoom
So far very pleased with results. The lens is well finished, and proportioned for the Sony ILC's. The camera is not too front-heavy with this lens attached. Same filter size as my 18-55 lens, which cuts down on how much stuff I have to carry with me.

Cheap only in price ...
Perfect lens and easy to use ... totally exceeded my expectations ... low price and a smart choice if you do no want to spend too much... if you need something that does the job this is the perfect complement for your nex camera ... Became a NEX fan

Nice Entry Telephoto
This is what it is, an entry level zoom lens that I felt I needed when I bought the a6000. It came as part of the bundle and so far seems to be a nice lens. I've shot some portraits of my wife with it and I think it's crisp and easy to use.

I like it, but I'm disappointed in Sony
I really enjoy using this lens with my Sony a6000, but I must note that it came with some kind of bubble beneath the surface. After emailing Sony about it, they told me to try cleaning the (brand new!) lensneedless to say, it didn't help.

Good performer
This lens is a great addition to the NEX7, great range, good light capturing ability. I found I always wanted to use the fine tuning adjustment on long shots. The autofocus works well, but the slight adjustment really crisped up my shots.

Good Budget Standard Zoom
On the Sony a6000 it has a zoom reach of 315mm. Sharpness improves with a tripod and lighting and was impressive in full sunlight using a circular polarizer. The lens has its place in my collection as a very portable zoom, in good light.

Decent lens
i'm still getting to know my equipment, but this lens seems decent, at least for fairly up close shots, though not great for things far away. with time and gaining more knowledge of the a6000 settings, it may perform even better.
