Sony E 55-210mm f/4.5-6.3 OSS Lens (Black)

An ideal complement to many kit zooms, the black E 55-210mm f/4.5-6.3 OSS Lens from Sony opens the door to many telephoto perspectives with its 82.5-315mm equivalent focal length range on APS-C-format E-mount cameras. With an optical design using two extra-low dispersion elements and two aspherical elements users will enjoy images with minimal aberrations. Also, thanks to Optical SteadyShot image stabilization, camera shake will be dramatically reduced, resulting in sharper images. An internal focus design enables fast, responsive AF and a minimum focus distance of 3.3'. Additionally, it has a seven-blade circular diaphragm for smooth, rounded bokeh.

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.

Two extra-low dispersion glass elements are featured in the lens design to help reduce chromatic aberrations and color fringing for improved clarity and color neutrality.

Two aspherical elements are incorporated in the lens design to reduce astigmatism, field curvature, coma, and other monochromatic aberrations.

Optical SteadyShot image stabilization helps to minimize the appearance of camera shake for sharper imagery when shooting handheld with slower shutter speeds. This stabilization system can be combined with select camera's sensor-shift type image stabilization for more effective control of camera blur.

An internal focus mechanism contributes to faster, more responsive autofocus, the minimum focus distance of 3.3', and easier handling as the lens does not change in length during use.

Rounded seven-blade diaphragm contributes to a pleasing bokeh quality when employing selective focus techniques.

Chiaro 49mm 95-UVAT UV Filter

The 49mm 95-UVAT UV Filter is one of Chiaro’s highly-rated protective UV filters with 95% light transmission. It’s useful for photographers of all levels who demand high-quality glass and other essential features for great image fidelity and construction.

To achieve 95% light transmission, Chiaro uses highly-polished optical glass, multi-coating, and additional advanced elements that improve the filter’s light transmission. A hard-anodized aluminum filter ring is designed to screw on and off effortlessly, and it’s thin to prevent vignetting when used with wide-angle lenses.

Image quality is what matters most at Chiaro. The company has tested and combined many features and essentials to achieve superior image quality and the highest light transmission. To help take the confusion out of selecting a filter, Chiaro prominently displays the light transmission levels so you can choose the perfect filter for your lens and photo session.

95% Light Transmission

Protect your lens while maintaining optical quality. By using highly-polished optical glass, Chiaro offers a 95% transmission rate. And the company verifies the ratings with ISO certified lab testing.

Polished Optical Glass

Highly-polished glass is essential to achieve a high level of light transmission. The optical glass in this Chiaro filter is polished for flatness that ensures great optical clarity.

Multi-Coating

Multi-coating enhances light transmission to the demanding level set for all Chiaro filters. It reduces unwanted internal reflections and ghosting that can compromise your images.

UV Protection

The filter blocks UV light and reduces the bluish cast of daylight that can affect color accuracy, especially at higher altitudes.

Hard Anodized Aluminum Construction

The process of hard anodizing toughens and strengthens the aluminum for a lightweight yet durable filter ring.

Slim Design

Measuring only 3.2mm, this filter is slim enough to use on wide-angle lenses without experiencing vignetting.

Top Knurling

Top knurling is designed to offer a firm grip on the filter when you're attaching or removing it.

Secure Attachment

It takes two full turns to mount the filter on your lens. This feature will securely hold your Chiaro filter through the most demanding photo shoots.

Front Threads

The front threads on the filter allow you to stack filters by screwing them onto your Chiaro filter.

Sony E 55-210mm f/4.5-6.3 OSS Reviews

Good lens, good price.

By Nicolas

I bought the Sony E 55-210mm f / 4.5-6.3 OSS lens for my Sony a6000 camera, which came with the Sony E 16-50 f / 3.5-5.6 PZ OSS kit lens. The first thing I did was to shot to a distant tree including the edge of my window, and then I shot to the edge of my window including the distant tree (img 01). The first thing that struck me was that at 100% magnification of the image, the leaves of the tree appear acceptably sharp, and at the edge of the window I did not find a significant color fringing in the area of highest contrast. Increasing that area of contrast to 300% (image 02) continued to appear free of chromatic distortion. Ok, I decided to photograph the same graph paper, with numbers written on it, with the two lenses from the starter kit. Light conditions: Tungsten light. Shutter speed, 1/4 second F / 8 aperture ISO100 With the Sony E 55-210mm f / 4.5-6.3 OSS I shot at 190mm focal length. With the Sony E 16-50 f / 3.5-5.6 PZ OSS I shot at 50mm focal length (getting closer to the paper). Both lenses have a protective Tiffen UV filter. In the center of the image the difference in sharpness is only apparent by looking closely at the texture of the paper and a bit at the numbers written. But at the edges of the image the difference in sharpness is more obvious. The Sony E 55-210mm is noticeably sharper than the Sony E 16-50. For nearly $ 600 between the two lenses, its performance meets the needs of most wearers. For a professional entry level, they are borderline acceptable at a great price.

Arrived quicker that projected. Zoom works smoothly; focusses quickly. But, weather has been too cold to really work it out.

Used this for photojournalism.

By Jason

Rated 5 out of 5

Date: 2021-03-16

I used this for photojournalism paired with a Sony a6000. This lens gave me very sharp results stopped down to 6.3 for a constant aperture. With the body often shooting at 11fps, the OSS is a must and made the most of all conditions. I would say I found it more convenient to pick up and shoot with vs. my full frame 70-200 2.8, and rivaled the image in many ways. I only wish Sony would make a wider-end low-aperture lens like this one for all-in-one shooting.

Great speedy service
