The E 55-210mm f/4.5-6.3 OSS is a budget-friendly telephoto zoom, ideal for photographers who want to try out a longer focal length range without investing in a heavy and expensive lens. With an APS-C equivalent range of 82.5-315mm, this lens works best when capturing wildlife, sports, and other outdoor activities that require distance between you and your subject. Optically, this lens incorporates two extra low dispersion elements and two aspherical elements, which combat a variety of aberrations and distortions. Optical SteadyShot image stabilization helps reduce camera shake when shooting handheld, and AF is quick and quiet due to an internal focusing mechanism.
Applications: With an 82.5-315mm equivalent range on APS-C cameras, this zoom serves as an entry-level telephoto for aspiring sports and wildlife photographers.
