Note: Equivalent to a 15-28mm lens, this is a wide angle zoom that opens up an entirely new range for Sony. The lens is relatively compact for its focal range.
Mini Review: This is an excellent wide angle zoom lens with very few flaws. As such, it belongs in every A5xxx and A6xxx user's bag. Recommended (2014 to 2020)
