The Sony FE 20mm f/1.8 G lens is a sleek and versatile wide-angle prime lens designed for full-frame mirrorless cameras. With an ultra-wide 20mm focal length and bright f/1.8 aperture, this lens excels in a variety of shooting scenarios, from expansive landscapes and architectural shots to vlogging and travel photography. The advanced optical design incorporates two Advanced Aspherical (AA) elements and three extra-low dispersion (ED) elements, effectively reducing distortion, chromatic aberrations, and color fringing. This results in crisp, clear images with excellent color accuracy.
The lens also features Sony’s Nano AR Coating, which minimizes surface reflections, flare, and ghosting, ensuring high contrast and vivid colors, even in challenging lighting conditions. A rounded nine-blade diaphragm produces smooth, aesthetically pleasing bokeh for selective focus techniques.
Autofocus performance is swift, quiet, and precise thanks to the Dual XD Linear Motor system, making it ideal for both stills and video applications. The lens also boasts a Linear Response manual focus control and customizable focus hold buttons for added flexibility. Additionally, the physical aperture ring can be de-clicked for seamless aperture adjustments in video work.
Despite its robust features, the lens is compact and lightweight, weighing just 12.3 oz. Its dust- and moisture-sealed construction ensures reliable performance in varying weather conditions. The fluorine-coated front element resists dust, moisture, and fingerprints, making it easy to clean. This combination of portability, optical excellence, and intuitive controls makes the Sony FE 20mm f/1.8 G an excellent choice for both professionals and enthusiasts.
