Sony FE SEL2860 28-60mm
Weighing just 163g with a retractable design, this is the world’s smallest and lightest full-frame standard zoom, covering a 28-60mm range with dust and moisture sealing. Its internal focus maintains lens length during silent linear AF operation, making it gimbal-friendly, while a 7-blade circular aperture provides smooth defocused backgrounds. Best for travel photographers and run-and-gun video shooters who need a featherlight, weather-sealed zoom for Sony full-frame cameras.
