Need advice on Zoom lens

[tedchester1]

Hi

Am new to this forum, and photography in general.

I have a a6000 which I bought 2 years ago and enjoy using.

Am looking for recommondations for a compatible zoom lens.

The one on camera is a 16-50 OSS so am looking for something that will enable me to shoot wildlife etc.

Dont want to spend more than £300.

Thanks!

Hi @tedchester1 and welcome to the community

I have moved your post into the Camera section and hopefully some of our other members will be able to share their recommendations with you.

Cheers,

Cass

Hi @tedchester1

Apologies for missing this post.

Have you seen the E 55-210mm F4.5-6.3 OSS lens?

More details here

Its priced at £315 on the Sony site but you can find it cheaper elsewhere

e.g. Jessops where it is currently £255

Hope this helps

Hi Jumpy

thanks for this. I actually managed to get a great deal on the lens you mention at SLR Hut for £175. Delighted! 

Read a few reviews about the site and decided to go with it. 

Thanks for for your reply.

Hi again

No worries, it's one of the ones I'm looking at too.

(Especially at that price!)

Thanks for the tip-off

[tedchester1]

Yep! It's a great price. Takes a week or so to arrive unless you go for speedy delivery which costs £39 (😳). At that price, it's worth waiting for! One thing to note if you do buy from SLR hut is that you have to pay extra for a lens cover as it's not included in the price. 

Hope you manage to get a good deal!

Thanks again for the info

When you receive the lens make sure you post a photo

taken with it in the gallery!
