From the Manufacturer
E 55-210mm F4.5-6.3 OSS Zoom Lens
This 55-210mm lens offers a superb balance of form and function: ample zoom range in a compact design that is lightweight and remarkably comfortable to hold and operate. Built-in Optical SteadyShot image stabilization system makes it possible to produce sharp images even when shooting handheld in low light.
Technology
Circular Aperture
When changing your aperture to defocus the background, the light sources appear blurred. This ‘bokeh’ effect of the blurred background can be enhanced with circular aperture blades used in this lens. Conventional aperture blades have flat sides creating unappealing polygonal shaped defocussed points of light. α lenses overcome this problem through a unique design that keeps the aperture almost perfectly circular from its wide-open setting to when it is closed by 2 stops. Smoother, more natural defocusing can be obtained as a result.
ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass
As focal lengths get longer, lenses built with conventional optical glass have difficulties with chromatic aberration, and as a result images suffer from lower contrast, lower color quality, and lower resolution. ED glass dramatically reduces chromatic aberration at telephoto ranges, and provides superior contrast across the entire image, even at large aperture settings. Super ED glass provides enhanced compensation for chromatic aberration.
Aspherical lens elements
Aspherical lens design dramatically reduces spherical aberration while also reducing lens size and weight. Spherical aberration is a slight misalignment of the light rays projected on the image plane. This is caused by differences in refraction at different points on conventional spherical lenses which degrade image quality in large-aperture lenses. Specially shaped “aspherical” elements near the diaphragm restore alignment of light rays at the image plane, maintaining high sharpness and contrast even at maximum aperture and can also be used at other points in the optical path to reduce distortion. Well-designed aspherical elements can reduce the total number of elements required in the lens, thus reducing overall size and weight. Advanced Aspherical (AA) elements are an evolved variant, featuring an extremely high thickness ratio between the center and periphery. AA elements are exceedingly difficult to produce, relying on the most advanced molding technology to consistently and precisely achieve the required shape and surface accuracy, resulting in significantly improved image accuracy and quality.
Lens-based optical image stabilization
Gyro sensors built into the lens detect even the slightest movement, and the stabilization lens is precisely shifted to counteract any image blur that might occur. The use of precision, quiet linear motors and technology inherited from high-end Sony professional camcorders results in exceptionally quiet, effective image stabilization that contributes to high-quality movies as well as stills.
Additional Features
Internal focusing
Only the middle groups of the optical system move to achieve focus, so the overall length of the lens does not change. Other important benefits include fast autofocusing and a short minimum focusing distance. Also, the filter thread at the front of the lens does not rotate, which is convenient if you’re using a polarizing filter.

Hmmm....
By Tankery on February 15, 2019
So I bought an A6300 after selling my A6000 and I bought a couple Sigma Contemporary lens (16mm and 30mm) along with the 50mm Sony and liked all those lens but man the Sigma 16mm is so big it defeated the purpose of the smaller footprint that e-mount brings to the table. I sold the 16mm. Great sharp photos, but not any better than a 12mm Oly mounted on my main camera, a Panasonic gx8. So much bigger though. Anyway, I read so many bad reviews of this particular lens I put off and put off buying it. But then I bought one for a hundred bucks. Handheld is the only way I shoot and I love this lens on the A6300. Popped shutter priority as the setting, extended it all the way out, shot the moon. Shooting hand held through a window, extended straight out, I got this pic of an angry Robin. Now I'm thinking about investing in another Sony low budget lens or two. This 55-210 compliments the sharp 50mm Sony Prime really well. I highly recommend getting a cheap used 55-210. For my type of shooting I love it.

Wow!!! Definitely worth it!
By Jessica Cristal Macias on May 13, 2020
Wow! This lens is incredible! I am not a professional photographer, I take photos mainly as a hobby with my Sony A6000. I hadn’t purchased a lens in 2 years and was looking for a zoom lens. I saw a G lens but felt that the $999 price was too high and figured I’d settle for something a little more economical. I love it! It is a little heavy, but it’s a really great lens. See the photos I took with it. The only con is that it does take some time to focus which is annoying when I’m trying to take a photo of a moving bird.

Although the lens is light and can capture some good pictures in good lighting conditions, it is not very useful in low light. The lens is sharpest at f11 for 210mm and produces usable images at f8. You should expect some corner softness in this lens. I am attaching some of my clicks.

Reviewed in Canada on January 29, 2018
I did a ton of research when looking for the 'best' telephoto lens for my camera. 'Best', let's be honest, runs in the thousands, so 'middling' ended up being a more accurate search. I can't at the moment drop $1600 on a single lens. It's a hobby after all, not my profession.Reviewed in Canada on January 29, 2018
This lens turned up on a lot of 'must-have lenses' recommendations, and when it went on sale for 50% off, I nabbed one.
I use this just about daily, and have found it's a fantastic lens. I'm no camera expert, by any means - I'm just starting into the hobby - but this lens takes beautiful pictures. Mostly used for landscapes and mucking about with 'can I capture the cat's face from here?' shots.
Came in the original Sony box, really well packed, arrived on time.
I'm entirely happy I got this lens.
Including a few pics I took with it for reference. The photos are untouched except for the text in the corner. (no color correction, just resizing) If you're interested, there are more here: fay-lisa.com
