What is the Sony 55-210mm lens good for?
Designed for APS-C-format cameras, this 55-210mm lens perfectly complements many kit zooms by providing an 82.5-315mm equivalent focal length range for telephoto applications. A variable f/4.5-6.3 maximum aperture helps keep overall lens size and weight to a minimum.
Is the Sony 55 210 lens worth it?
The Sony 55-210mm f/4.5-6.3 OSS is far better suited to outdoor sports and wildlife photography, where there’s plenty of light and you can use a fast shutter speed to freeze the action. In those situations, it’s certainly worth the $350 asking price and makes a great companion to an 18-55mm or 16-50mm kit lens.
