Get Closer with a Compact 3.8x Zoom: E 55–210mm F4.5–6.3 OSS (SEL55210)
The SEL55210 offers the reach you need for subjects such as sports and nature. Built-in image stabilisation reduces blur when shooting at long range or in low light. Coupled with α E-mount cameras from Sony, APS-C E-mount lenses deliver big camera performance.

Capture Smooth, Blur-free Images
Built-in Optical SteadyShot image stabilisation within the lens ensures smooth, blur-free photos and videos when shooting handheld.

Smooth Defocusing
Instead of a standard polygon-shaped lens aperture, this lens features a 7-blade circular aperture for more natural, rounded defocusing or ‘bokeh’.
Refined Optical Performance
Aspherical lens elements minimise distortion while ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass elements provide superior contrast, resolution, and colour fidelity.

Fast, Agile Focusing
An internal focusing mechanism means the lens barrel doesn’t move, enabling a more compact design, faster autofocus response, and reduced minimum focusing distances.
