I was looking for a tele zoom lens for my Sony Alpha-55 SLR. The usual option is to go for a 70-300, and Sony offer this lens in the range. However, the auto-focus action on the 70-300 is very hesitant and noisy, and you may well miss some action shots while the lens is hunting for focus, especially on a moving subject. Equally, the 70-300mm lens is quite long when zoomed fully telephoto, and it takes up quite a bit of bag room when travelling.Enter the compact DT 55-200 SAM lens, which features Sony's built-in auto-focus servo motor for faster and more accurate auto-focus action. This lens is nicely balanced in terms of weight distribution, it's not much larger than the standard 'kit'18-55 lens (and it takes the same 55mm screw-in filters), and the auto-focusing is quick and accurate even in low light when following a moving subject. Add to this Sony's patented "Steady Shot Inside" technology in the Alpha camera body and you have a compact and portable camera & lens combo with lots of extra "reach" for action shots under a wide range of conditions.Okay, the reach is not as far as with the 70-300mm lens, but the camera's resolution and image quality are so high you can afford to crop the image a little afterwards to get the framing you wanted.The DT in the name means this lens only fits APS-sensor cameras, so it won't work on the rarer full-frame Sony Alphas. SAL means it fits cameras with the Alpha/ Minolta AF mount, and SAM denotes the built-in AF motor which gives the super-fast auto-focus action. Beware, there is an earlier version of the 55-200 lens which doesn't say SAM on the barrel, and this lens relies on the camera's AF motor, so you don't get all the benefits of the SAM technology. This is why the lens I am reviewing has the product code SAL552002, there's a "2" on the end denoting the later model variant.Overall I'm really pleased with the bargain lens I bought here, and I don't regret not going for the larger 70-300mm zoom at all.Happy shooting!Lens reviewed by wedge_pilotRead full review...

The outside of the lens had brown marks on the barrel about 180 degrees apart.I mounted the lens on my Sony camera, but the image quality was poor and out of focus.I tried many setting, manual, auto, shutter etc., but this did not improve the image quality.I was about to sent the lens back to the buyer, but I went to the Sony support site, to see if i could get any further info.I found that with some lens filters, the focus system system may not work correctly.I tried to get the filter lens off, which took me some time, but eventually the lens worked OK,.I have used the lens on several occasions and has produced good results. This is a good lens for the money.I have now going to purchase a 55-300mm lens for my camera.If this works to my satisfaction, I may sell the 55-200mm lens,later.Read full review...

Needed a compact telephoto lens and this is ideal for nature and sport photography. Quiet and fast in operation in auto focus mode. It's barely longer than my standard lens and fits in my camera bag with ease when mounted on my camera.
