Sony FE 28-60mm f/4-5.6 Zoom Lens For Sony E Summary
The new FE 28-60mm f/4-5.6 zoom lens is Sony’s smallest and lightest stabilised full-frame lens for Sony mirrorless cameras. Weighing just 167g the zoom perfectly complements the compact a7C camera and is available as a kit with as both a7C black lens kit and a7C silver lens kit.
Key features
- The world’s smallest and lightest full-frame E-mount zoom lens at time of writing
- Captures high resolution images for everyday use with both stills and video
- 3 aspherical lenses ensure Sony quality comes as standard
- Fast and precise, Auto Focus with excellent tracking, making this compact lens suitable for movie shooting too
- Retracting structure keeps lens at minimal size
- Ideal as a general walk-around lens for all day shooting of varied subject
The 28-60mm wide angle to standard focal width supports a broad range of subjects from street photography, travel and architecture to video capture, including interviews and ‘selfie’ pieces to camera. Excellent image and video quality is assured thanks to 3 aspherical optics and pleasing bokeh with smooth out of focus areas are achieved through the 7 bladed aperture.
The FE 28-60mm lens is weather sealed with moisture and dust resistance, making it ideal for shooters who work outdoors and are sometimes caught out by the weather. Eight elements are arranged into 7 groups which provide impressive optical performance for Sony cameras.
Fast and precise focusing is delivered by the Sony linear motor with quiet operation in both movie and stills image capture. When the lens is combined with the latest Alpha full-frame cameras, even fast-moving subjects can be confidently locked onto using AF features like Real-time Tracking and Real-time Eye AF.

Our Verdict
The FE 28-60mm f/4-5.6 OSS lens from Sony was initially a kit lens however the popularity of this ultra-compact standard zoom has enabled us to release this model as a standalone option. With an extremely versatile focal range this model can be used for all manner of photography and video subjects including landscapes, cityscapes, portraits and general photography. Boasting three advanced optical elements from eight in total ensures crisp clean images and videos will be captured throughout the zoom range.
Autofocus is quick and quiet lending itself for many subjects when coupled with the advanced AF features found in Sony’s full frame mirrorless cameras. Hand holding is also possible as the light starts to dip as bodies now include excellent 5-axis images stabilisation which compensate for shake. Amateurs and enthusiasts looking for a cost effective, general purpose zoom which will be versatile enough to capture a wide range of subjects can now consider the FE 28-60mm f/4-5.6 OSS Lens as an excellent option. The incredibly compact size and lightweight 167g mean that it sits perfectly on any camera including highly compact a7C models.
