Retailer-supplied product details

Additional listing information

Designed for APS-C-format cameras, the Sony 55-210mm f/4.5-6.3 OSS E Mount Autofocus Lens is a lightweight versatile lens designed to handle a wide-ranging variety of your shooting needs. The zoom range lets you go from portrait length to a long zoom lens with just the twist of the barrel.

The Sony 55-210mm features quiet internal focusing, where only the middle groups of the lens move without changing the overall length of the lens. The linear motor provides smooth and rapid focus response to meet your photo and video needs.

Optical SteadyShot (OSS) image stabilization has been designed into the lens to increase usability with telephoto and in low light shooting situations. Built with two aspherical lenses, the Sony 55-210mm f/4.5-6.3 OSS reduces spherical aberration while keeping the size and weight of the lens to a minimum.

The two ED (Extra-low Dispersion) lenses dramatically reduce chromatic aberration at telephoto settings, and provide incredible contrast across the entire image, even at large aperture settings. This results in a lightweight and responsive lens that produces consistently clear and accurate images.
