The Sony FE 28-60mm F4-5.6 is the first truly small zoom for a7 full-frame cameras. It delivers crisp images in a compact form factor, but uses a relatively small f-stop to get there.

The Sony FE 28-60mm f4-5.6 is surprising in a couple of respects. One is that for a kit lens it has an extremely modest 2.1x zoom range. Is it enough? Only if you are prepared to compromise on the sort of shots you can get, or you tend to shoot in a narrow focal range anyway. That’s the bad news.

I love it when my expectations are exceeded. While the tiny, inexpensive Sony FE 28-60mm f/4.5-5.6 general-purpose zoom lens did not catch my immediate attention, it made an impact during review.

Sony’s FE 28-60mm f/4-5.6 lens lacks versatility and fast speed, however we’ve given it a ‘Recommended’ rating because of its compact size, light weight, optical performance, and its build is better than average for a kit lens.
I bought this as a kit with my A7C. As the title says, it is surprisingly good. While it has its obvious limitations, it is a lens that I would use for daytime street shooting. Haven't had a chance to test nighttime use yet.It's pretty sharp throughout the range and has good color rendition.
Very light and compact lens but good quality. Ideal for walking and mountaineering when size and weight are important.The biggest disadvantage for me is that the zoom ring rotates the wrong way, the opposite way to the on/off lever, so I almost always turn it to the 60mm end to turn it off and then...
