Sony FE SEL2860 28-60mm
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.
