Excellent lens

 

I got this lens for a couple of month, it came together with the NEX-F3Y kit, its pretty amazing with it superb quality of images. Particularly at low-light condition. The only problem is a little bit long in length, it might poses some discomfort...

Superior Image quality

Little bit long in length

Good lens... lacks sharpness at high end

 

This is a very good, compact lightweight lens for my Nex 5N. Also cozy feel and good looking. Great for outdoor/portrait. Nice stabilization too. At the dark side - this lens is not sharp wide open at the tele end. If you zoom more that 150mm or so...

Portait, bokeh, nice color, lightweight, compact

Sharpness lacks at high zoom

Exceeded Expectations

 

This lens is extremely well designed, high quality and most importantly is capable of helping you take sharp, clear, full size digital SLR quality shots. It is far better than the stock lens that comes with the NEX5N camera. Highly recommended.

Crisp Shots

No case

Great telephoto for NEX cameras!!!

 

I purchased this lens for my NEX-5 a year ago and I love it. I've shot some sporting events (triathlon) with the burst shooting and the pics turned out awesome. This lens is a must-have for NEX users, especially if you need to get close to a subject....

Well built, quick AF

Kinda heavy

Excellent telephoto lens and fairly light weight

 

Fairly light weight telephoto. Excellent picture with motion stabilzer in the camara.

Quality telephoto especially with motion control in camara

Like any telephoto, its a bit long, but better than most

Great stabilized telephoto zoom for Nex system

 

I've owned this lens for about 2 months and love it. It's sharp, has good contrast and color. I wish I had bought it earlier!This is a great companion lens to the 18-55mm kit lens that is typically packaged with the Nex system. The extra focal length...

Practical and high-quality upgrade for Nex system

Hunts a bit for auto-focus in low light at 210mm

More than I expected

 

I bought this for my NEX7 primarily to shoot fast moving subjects such as my dogs and grand kids. Subjects not at all well suited to using the manual focus lenses I have adapted for the NEX. As an outdoor lens it's awesome. autofocus is good but not...

Image quality is very good

could be faster

I have looked for this lens in several differant camera stores and to find it at Best Buy was a treat. Sales person was up on the product and a pleasure to deal with

Great quality and sharp image

Excellent Lens

 

Achieves what I wanted, especially for the money. Compare it to other lens on the market, it does a decent job on telephoto shots. Focus is fast and quiet and the video taking works very nice.

Fast focusing and very quiet

Nothing
