Pros and cons

According to our camera lens expert

With the 55–210mm zoom range, the lens is suitable for portrait, bird, and sports photography.
You can take sharp handheld photos at slower shutter speeds thanks to the image stabilization.
Thanks to its low weight, you can take photos comfortably and easily bring the lens with you when you travel.
When you zoom in, the lens becomes less light-sensitive and your images look less bright.
You can hear the motor when the lens focuses, which makes this lens less suitable for videography.

apprentice wizard

Since I felt that with a compact camera I couldn't learn much more about photography, I bought the Sony NEX 6. This camera offers a lot of possibilities, but with the standard lens and a pancake lens I was still somewhat amateurish. That's why I ordered the 55-210 mm lens, which was promptly delivered the next day, as we are now used to from Cool Blue. With this lens I feel that I can explore the possibilities of the camera better. At the moment I only work manually, to better learn how to use the different settings. Like an apprentice wizard trying out different formulas. With varying degrees of success, of course, but now I feel that I am at least making progress and learning (a lot). During these winter months, snow and lack of light created challenging lighting situations, but it also teaches you how to better set up your camera for more difficult lighting conditions. Every day I take a few shots in varied conditions and every time I feel that I can manipulate the settings better and better. The lens is proportionally larger than the body of the camera and in some circumstances this can be detrimental to stability. Build quality is impeccable and the lens is well worth its price. Above all, it makes the purchase of the NEX 6 worth three times more, because I finally experience the possibilities and qualities this camera offers a starting amateur photographer.

Finally

speed of focusing
construction of the lens
A standard protective pouch would have been useful. It is an interchangeable lens, there is a good chance that it will come along separately and then a case is handy.

I bought the nex5 as a replacement for my SLR camera. First with the standard kit lens (18-55) because otherwise it would be a lot of money at once. Great photos, but something was missing. Finally bought the real zoom lens because everything with the super zoom compact is not everything. So I should have done that earlier. Now I make full use of the nex5 and it is again possible to shoot really nice pictures. Switching is super simple, the quality of the lens is excellent. Fast focus, just well put together and worthy of this camera. Lasts a long time in less light. The only regret is that for the first time since I buy things at Coolblue (and that is very regular), the "next day delivery" was not successful, while I had ordered well in time. Bit unhappy as I had chosen a specific address for delivery.

Sony Nex 55-210 lens

Very happy that it was delivered so quickly and neatly!! I have photographed with it several times and I am very happy with it, very satisfied with the lens. Now only a suitable bag that can accommodate both camera and extra lens and then I'm all set! (I myself have the Sony Nex 3)

Definitely a lens that is recommended and especially if you order it through CoolBleu, what a great and fast service!! I will definitely order here more often!! :)
