If you don't have a telephoto Zoom Lens in your arsenal, this is a great place to start. The superb multi-purpose SAL-DT55200 55-200mm f4-5.6 telephoto zoom lens is an excellent all-around value; covering the medium to long-distance telephoto range you will use most. It also provides close minimum focusing distance of about 3 feet (.95m), for tight shots of people, natural subjects and close-up details. Its compact, lightweight design makes it easy to carry as your standard or accessory lens?and all your shots will benefit from the Sony Super SteadyShot® Image stabilization system built into every Sony a system DSLR. (35mm equivalent: 82.5-300mm).

• Compact Design, All-Around Versatility - This high-value 55-200mm zoom lens covers a wide range of medium to long-distance telephoto applications -- and its lightweight design lets you leave it on-camera or carry it easily as an accessory lens for special purposes (35mm equivalent: 82.5-300mm)
• DT Lens Design - The SAL-DT55200 is specially designed for the APS-size CCD imager used in Sony a (alpha) DSLR cameras. APS-size sensors are smaller than a 35mm-format film frame, so the focal distance to cover the same field of view can be about 2/3 shorter -- allowing a more compact lens design
• Short Minimum Focusing Distance - With the ability to focus as closely as 3 feet (.95m), this telephoto lens also lets you move in for dramatic shots of people, natural subjects and close-up details.
• In-Camera Image Stabilization - A major reason for its compact, lightweight design is the benefit of Super SteadyShot? in-camera image stabilization, built into every Sony alpha system DSLR -- and enabling accessory lenses to eliminate the extra weight and expense of in-lens stabilization mechanisms.
