Sony FE 28-60mm f/4-5.6

The lightest full-frame kit zoom Sony has made, bundled with the a7C-series bodies. Bought purely for compactness rather than image quality — reviewers call it 'good enough,' a step down optically from the older 28-70mm kit zoom it replaced, but it keeps small bodies genuinely pocketable.

📝 How suitability scores are calculated GearScore™ genre scores are calculated from this camera's verified specifications — autofocus, sensor, weight, weather sealing and more — weighted by what matters for each type of photography. Where a spec sheet misses something (e.g. a manual-focus rangefinder for street), we apply a documented editorial adjustment. Scores are not based on customer reviews. See our full methodology →
