This is my first telephoto lens for the NEX 5 that came with the 18-55mm lens. I debated whether to get the 18-200mm lens but heard it was very heavy so I went with this one. I've not used the lens pen or the SD card yet. The lens bag fits the lens very well and holds the 18-55mm lens with room to spare. As others have noted, the 55-210mm autofocus can be a bit wonky at times, especially when someone walks across the frame in the foreground. The glare shield that comes with the lens totally covers the focus ring, and with the lens cap on it won't allow the lens to zoom so I don't even have the glare shield attached anymore, I just use the glare shield that came with the 18-55mm lens. The only thing that downgraded it to four stars is that the zoom ring could use a little less force to zoom, it seems like I inadvertently twist the camera slightly since some force is needed to zoom the lens and the camera body itself is so light. Otherwise it does a great job bringing far away things close, I've taken plenty of indoor action shots with the lens and not been disappointed.
