Telephoto zoom for Sony E-mount

The Sony SEL55210 is a compact telephoto zoom lens designed for Sony E-mount interchangeable-lens cameras. It covers a 55-210mm focal range, delivering an 82-315mm equivalent angle of view on APS-C sensors. Optical SteadyShot image stabilisation and a smooth, quiet internal autofocus motor make it suitable for handheld sports, wildlife and everyday distance photography. The silver finish matches silver-bodied NEX and Alpha models.

Check mount and filter size before ordering

Verify that your camera uses the Sony E mount; the lens will not fit A-mount or other systems without an adapter. The front filter thread measures 49mm, so any circular polariser, UV or neutral-density filter must match that diameter. Minimum focus distance is 3.2ft (1m), so subjects closer than that cannot be brought into sharp focus. Maximum aperture ranges from f/4.5 at the wide end to f/6.3 at full telephoto, which affects low-light shutter speeds.

Suits APS-C shooters wanting reach in a light

Photographers using Sony APS-C bodies who need an affordable, lightweight telephoto option for outdoor action or travel will find the range and stabilisation practical. Buyers who require a constant wide aperture throughout the zoom range, full-frame image-circle coverage, or weather-sealed construction should look at other lenses. The variable f/4.5-6.3 aperture also limits shallow depth-of-field control at longer focal lengths.

Questions about this item

What accessories come with the SEL55210 and what must I buy separately?

The lens includes front and rear caps; a 49 mm filter, lens hood and case are sold separately.

How do I choose between the 55 mm and 210 mm ends of the zoom range?

Use 55 mm for wider scenes and 210 mm for distant subjects; the 35 mm equivalent spans 82-315 mm.

What does the f/4.5-6.3 aperture range mean when I shoot indoors?

At 55 mm the maximum aperture is f/4.5, narrowing to f/6.3 at 210 mm, so less light reaches the sensor at full zoom.
