Showcase Sony SEL 55-210 F4.5-6.3 OSS lens

What's an OSS lens?? Do you tend to use this type of lens with a tripod?

 

The Sony E 55-210mm f/4.5-6.3 OSS is a telephoto zoom lens for the Sony NEX system. Designed to complement the existing 18-55mm kit zoom, the Sony E 55-210mm f/4.5-6.3 OSS features Optical SteadyShot image stabilisation, quiet and responsive auto focus and a 7-blade circular aperture diaphragm for a pleasing bokeh.


I have this lens is great ..

Ta Freddy just read that review, it's all good but I can't buy them all - I'm going to Paris next month, might be lucky and treat myself to 1 lens for the trip but which one - OMG I thought photography would chill me out, but I'm getting more excited/ stressed by the day  

 

Haha... not to worry Ray, it happens to us all.  

In my early days of photography I used to stress about everything... my cameras, my lenses, my tripod, how to carry them all... then the light, the weather, the time of day, the subjects, the location - the strain just went on and on and on. The more I wanted to "push" for better results the more the joy drained out of my photography. As I got older, I began to stop 'pushing and pulling' against the elements and have learned to go along with the flow. If things didn't go right, then I'll get it right the next time. If there's no next time, then I let it go because I've still learnt something from that - which will be useful for something else.

Give yourself time, relax, allow yourself to make mistakes, and learn at a pace that doesn't trample on your joy. This will show in your photos...  

 

hey friend, take a look at this page, where I have some photos in the first shoot with this lens ........ greetings

Thanks for sharing RT_Panther!

BTW, how are you finding the F3? I've never seen one in person but it appears to be a little bit bigger than the 5N body and I'm thinking better to hold and less chance of accidental hits on buttons?

 

Last NEX I had was the "original" 3....
So in that light, the F3 is similar to 3 in that you have to watch your right thumb so as not to accidently change your shutter speed or aperature setting...

 

Couple more...

Welcome to the forum, Applemint!  

Nice shot! Beautiful light... almost romantic 1940s retro feel against the Spitfire. Love both planes, but that I haven't seen a 5 bladed prop spitty before... just absolutely gorgeous. Had the jet (Eurofighter?) not been in the background, that shot would've looked like an original.
