Overview

The Sun Hi-Tele Zoom 85-210mm f/4.8 is a compact, well-built lens with a unique gun grip that aids handheld stability and a trigger for preset stopdown. Optically, it offers decent contrast and pleasing bokeh, but suffers from significant lateral chromatic aberration, corner softness, coma, and vignetting wide open. Sharpness is lacking overall, especially at the long end. It suits users seeking an affordable, quirky portrait zoom where aberrations can be overlooked, but not those demanding high image quality.
