You can make good photos with it, i noticed this while browsing for examples of photos that i took with this lens when I was trying to sell it. It has flaws,, at 200 at lower light, it is better to switch to manual focus. A second flaw is that mold likes a glue that is used to glue to front elements, so you have to be careful when you buy it used.
Easy-to-follow commentary with no decorative talk.
I accidentally found this lens at a pawn shop for $80…after using it awhile on my a7iii, i discovered that the colors on it is really beautiful, unique and has great character. This lens is totally overlooked , I love this lens
For 80$ this is a must have, im a little jealous! ;)
Thanks so much for this, but, I have to ask you. I didn't see THAT much difference in the sharpness comparison on screen anyway, between the two. Maybe a slight difference that I can tell. Is it THAT much better and I'm just not seeing it on my monitor?
Keep in mind, this video is 1080p (2.1 megapixels). His camera is 24.3 megapixels, so by the time we see it, we are only seeing 8.6% it's original size. So, for example, an image that looks fine here on TH-cam might look very blurry if you tried to print an 8"x10" photo.
@@jimbojibberjabber8304 sometimes you can see it, sometimes you can't.
This lens is very bad in image quality for most uses. I've found that with a macro filter out front (Raynox 250), it comes into its own as a macro lens. Sharp enough up to F/18, with AF fast enough to keep up.
It is, technically, a zoom lens while telephoto is normally prime.
That is news to me.
@@reviewrattlesnake , colloquial use of terms does not make it the right ones. For instance, frets are the space between the wires, called fretwires. Engines are in internal combustion vehicles, not motors. Bolts use nuts to fasten and screwns are pointed and self-tap their holes but people incorrectly call bolts screws. Again. colloquial is not usually correct
It's a telephoto zoom. Just like there are wide angle zooms, standard zooms, and super zooms. There needs to be a differentiator beyond just the word "zoom", because zooms come in multiple focal length ranges.
Is it good to shoot portraits of performers on stage in a concert?
Open air concerts? Sure! Indoors its most likely too dark.
Having shot indoor concerts before, I'd say not a chance. The lighting is usually poor, and they move around a lot, and you are likely to be hand-holding the camera. Overall a mix for very blurry photos (or at least very grainy photos with super high ISO settings). The challenge can be a good experience, pushing your skills as a photographer though.
Unless the concert is classical or something, where the musicians are seated, and the area is well-lit.
You'll need heavy NR indoors. I use a Tamron 150-500, which is 6.7 at 500, requiring ISOs between 6400 and 25,600 when the performers are moving fast. DXO takes care of that noise.
Does this lens work with a6100 ,I've found a cheap second hand one in good condition for £90
Yes it does!
Great video just got back from vacation with the lens first time using it must say it came in handy got some nice images with it
Does this fit zv-e10?
Yes it will
would you recommend this or the 18-105 f4 or 18-135 305-4.5? I am using 7r3 and wanted a lens for a new body a6100 which without ibis.
I have yet to try either one of these lenses, but I am contemplating picking up the 18-135. The extra bit of zoom range and the small form factor makes it more interesting to me than the 18-105. Of course the 18-135 does not zoom in as closely as the 55-210mm, but the general zoom range is simply impressive. The Image quality also looks better than the 55-210mm, but like I said, I must try it for myself first.
Does it fit on a a6100
Yes it does.
@@reviewrattlesnake ah thx man
Thank you, I use this lens for few years already and one question: I got old A7s without stabilization, will OSS work in lens even without camera support?
yes it will!
@@reviewrattlesnake Thank you!
Is this good for outdoor basketball?
No, an actual basketball will be better for that.
can you use this lens to shoot videos?
I tried it and it looks good on my a6400
Does this lens work on a Sony a7iii?
If it’s e mount yes
Technically yes, but it is an APS-C lens so you only get cropped pictures. I wouldn't recommend it. You cheapest alternative is to look at Tamron's 70-300 or 28-200
@@gamebuster800could you possibly send me a link of the one you’re talking about? I’m just now getting into photography with the a7iii that I got for Christmas and I don’t know much about all of this stuff.
As @gamebuster800 pointed out, this lens is for APS-C cameras, so it is not ideal for your camera. I'm afraid full frame cameras are not my area of expertise so I cannot give recommendations.
Hello! Would it be fine for a Sony alfa 7 II?
Thanks!
is it good for photographing the sun at sunset or for photographing the full moon?
Perhaps a little bit more telephoto range would be better suited. Alternatively you can always crop into the picture after you made it.
@@reviewrattlesnake thank you for the information. keep up the channel you are doing great!
Does it work with a7c
noooo
Of course it does, but it requires you to put the camera in crop mode.
heavy vignetting unless you enable apsc crop
