- Super for safariI took this to Kenya on a safari and have the most amazing shots of lion, cheetah, giraffe, elephant, rhino, warthogs and many more animals. So easy to use with great results.
- Best Lens in my bagThis is the best lens in my bag and I've found it to be consistently sharp with great contrast.
- 18-200 vs 55-210The 55-210 is 6.4 ozs lighter and a more fitting lens for the nex where the 18-200 is heavy and 67 mm in size. the 67 size does let more light in and 18 is better for shooting indoors where subjects are close to the camera but remember you will need a flash extender for this lens or the bigger HVL-F20s. If you don't want to spend a lot of money the 55-210 is the lens for you, As for me I have two nex cameras the nex 3 and the nex 5N so I plan on owning them both. I will probably only use the 18-200 on the nex 3 and get this lens for the nex5n.the reasons are the 18-200 is huge and looks out of place on the 5n camera and so does the flash.that being said I love the 18-200 and the F20s for hiking there's not much time to change out lens and or flash plus the dust and rain would be a problem.
- Best budget Zoom lensSharp enough for this kind of budget lens. Does not perform well in low light but on sunny day or well lit studio or set, it's perfect.
- E 55 - 210 mmI purchased this lens a month ago as going to a wedding and wanted to do some candid photography as well as the usual shots that everybody takes. Only used outside in the sunshine and got some great shots and the image stabilisation helped with the long focal length.
