Why we recommend this

Weighing just 155g and measuring 1.6 inches long, this full-frame zoom uses three aspherical, two ED, and one ultra-high refractive element for corner-to-corner sharpness. Weather sealing and fluorine coating resist dust and splashes, while suppressed focus breathing and the 120mm Hybrid Zoom with an S9 body cater to video. Best for travel photographers needing an ultra-light wide-to-normal lens, with capable macro and landscape performance.

Why we recommend this

Its 146g pancake design with full-frame coverage and a 98.7° ultrawide angle of view makes it an exceptionally portable lens for expansive scenes. The constant f/5.6 aperture and manual focus design prioritize a slim profile and deliberate shooting over low-light speed. This lens is best for landscape and street photographers who want a tiny, lightweight prime for daylight walkaround use on Sony E-mount bodies.
