Best budget lens for the sony a7r v?

For a budget pick on the a7R V, I'd start with the Sony FE 28-60mm f/4-5.6 (page). It's small and covers everyday framing, which suits a body this detailed. The site doesn't list prices, so I'm judging on size and simplicity rather than cost.

Two other options from the same mount:

• Sony FE 28-70mm f/3.5-5.6 OSS: a wider zoom range with stabilisation.
• Sony FE 24mm f/2.8 G: a small prime if you want a wide look and don't mind fixed framing.

Spend a little on the lens, since a good lens matters more than the body. For the wider picture, see your first camera, and browse the full range on the lenses page.
