Product details

The SEL55210 offers you the range you need for subjects such as sports scenes and nature shots. The integrated image stabilisation reduces camera shake when shooting distant subjects or in low light conditions. Instead of a standard polygonal aperture, this lens offers a circular aperture with 7 blades for a natural, soft bokeh. Internal focussing ensures that the lens barrel does not move, allowing for a more compact design, faster autofocus response and shorter minimum focusing distances.

Das lichtschwächere und kaum mehr als 330 Gramm leichte 55-210-Millimeter-Objektiv eignet sich dagegen ausschließlich für Kameras mit APS-C-Sensor. Im Test zeigt es störende Gegenlichtreflexe. Nutzer sollen stets die mitgelieferte Streulichtblende nutzen, um die Reflexe zu verringern.
