Sony E 55-210mm f/4.5-6.3 OSS SEL55210

So I deliberated a bit to add my 2 cents to the fray. I chimed in because no one mentioned slow autofocus speed with this lens.
Like others stated this zoom lens can be a steal - if you get it for less than $200. It produces decent image quality. However, it does have a relatively shallow depth of field when zoomed in, so keep that in mind.
On my A6300 the autofocus is painfully slow compared to the other lens I tried, including the 'el chipo' 16-50 bundled lens, the SEL 28F20 prime, and the SEL1670Z (the Zeiss co-branded zoom, which itself isn't the fastest autofocus lens either).
I found an open-box on eBay from a major East Coast camera store for about $140, and after redeeming by eBay bucks I ended up paying much less than one hundred greenbacks so I have no regrets. But I wanted to pont out the autofocus speed because it clearly disqualifies this lens from any fast-action photography.
