Compact Lens with Telephoto Reach
With telephoto reach, the Sony E 55-210mm f/4.5-6.3 OSS lens puts distant subjects, from nature to sports, well within your sights. Equivalent to 82.5-315mm on a full-frame camera, this Sony 55-210mm lens is a handy addition to any portrait shooter’s, traveller’s, or sport or wildlife watcher’s kit. The lens’ compact, streamlined design pairs perfectly with Sony mirrorless camera bodies. It also helps keep shooters agile and their camera bags light.
Sharp Detail with Natural Colours and Bokeh
The Sony E 55-210mm lens delivers superb image quality throughout its zoom range. Its optical design combines aspherical lens elements to minimise distortion, plus ED (extra-low dispersion) glass elements to render subjects with fine detail, vibrant contrast and lifelike colour. The 7-blade aperture is circular in shape, resulting in a soft, more natural-looking bokeh that’ll make your subjects stand out beautifully.
Optical SteadyShot Image Stabilisation
Capture sharp stills and steady video, even when shooting at full zoom or in low lighting. The Sony E 55-210mm f/4.5-6.3 OSS lens comes equipped with Optical SteadyShot image stabilisation, which reduces blur caused by handshake to give you superior results in trickier conditions.
Fast and Quiet Internal Focusing
Focus your subject with speed and control. Thanks to an internal focusing mechanism, the Sony E 55-210mm f/4.5-6.3 OSS lens has multiple benefits including quiet, faster autofocus performance and the ability to focus at shorter distances (1m minimum). This is great for capturing moving subjects and subjects at close range, as well as natural moments and clean audio uninterrupted by mechanical noise. Internal focusing also keeps the size of the lens fixed when you change focus (resulting in superior handling) and contributes to the lens’ compact design. Need to fine-tune focus while in AF mode? The Direct Manual Focus (DMF) function lets you do so comfortably and precisely.

4. Is the autofocus noisy when shooting video?
No, the lens utilises an internal focusing mechanism that provides fast and quiet autofocus, making it a great choice for capturing clean audio during video recording.
5. What is Direct Manual Focus (DMF)?
DMF allows you to instantly switch to manual focus fine-tuning even when the camera is in autofocus mode, giving you precise control over your subject's sharpness.
How to Use / Care Instructions
