Why we recommend this

The power zoom mechanism delivers smooth, silent operation ideal for video, while the retractable design and 107g weight make it exceptionally portable. Optical SteadyShot stabilization provides 4 stops of shake reduction, and the ED glass with aspherical elements controls aberrations in a compact package. This lens is best for travel photographers and vloggers who need a lightweight, stabilized standard zoom for Sony APS-C E-mount cameras.

Sony FE Alpha 28-60mm f/4-5.6

51.6 Score
28-60mmf/4-5.6Sony EWeather Sealed
Why we recommend this ▼

A retractable design collapses this full-frame zoom to a compact 45mm length, making it remarkably portable despite its 28-60mm range and dust- and moisture-resistant build. Three aspherical elements and a linear AF motor deliver sharp, quiet autofocus in a lightweight package that pairs seamlessly with smaller Sony E-mount bodies. This lens is best for travel photographers who prioritize minimal kit weight and weather sealing over a fast aperture.
