Our take on the Sony FE 28-60mm F4-5.6 SEL2860 Lens

The Sony FE 28-60mm F4-5.6 is a compact full-frame zoom for Sony E-mount cameras. It is the retracting kit lens sold with the A7C, and it collapses small enough to make a full-frame body feel like a point-and-shoot. The narrow f/4-5.6 aperture limits low-light and background blur, so it is a walkaround and travel lens rather than a fast prime. Against larger standard zooms like the 28-70mm or 24-105mm, it trades aperture and reach for size and portability.

What reviewers say

Owners treat it as the lens that makes a full-frame Sony pocketable. They praise the size, autofocus and center sharpness and accept the slow aperture as the price of the compact build.

Questions and answers

Is the Sony FE 28-60mm worth it over the 28-70mm kit lens?
Yes if size matters most. The 28-60mm is much smaller and sharper in the center, but the 28-70mm gives a little more reach and a slightly faster aperture at the long end.
Does the lens have to be extended before use?
Yes. It retracts into a compact barrel and must be twisted out to 28mm before the camera will shoot.
Is it stabilized?
No. It has no optical stabilization, so rely on in-body stabilization in the camera.
Does it work on APS-C Sony bodies?
It mounts on E-mount APS-C cameras, where it behaves like a 42-90mm equivalent zoom. It is designed for full-frame bodies.
What is in the box?
The lens, front and rear caps, and a lens hood is not included; Sony sells the hood separately.
Is it good for video?
Yes for handheld and gimbal work. The linear motor focuses quietly and smoothly, though the slow aperture needs more light indoors.
Where is the Sony FE 28-60mm F4-5.6 SEL2860 Lens cheapest?
At Newegg, for $259.95, as of our latest check.
