Top specs

  • Type

    Wide Angle

    Wide-angle lenses with optics that allow for fitting many elements within the frame with relatively little distortion. Their focal distance is usually 24-35mm for full-frame, 15-25mm for crop frame, and 50-70mm for medium format. They are commonly used in street photography but also in indoor spaces where there is limited distance from the subject. The perspective of wide-angle lenses makes things appear farther apart than they actually are.

  • Mount

    The type of mount that the camera body must have in order for the lens to be fully functional when attached to it.

    2. Some lenses can be used with older mounts from the same manufacturer, sacrificing certain functions (e.g. autofocus), or even with mounts from other manufacturers using an adapter.

  • Item

    Lenses with variable optical (zoom) that remain equally bright (same maximum aperture value) throughout the entire focal distance range they offer. Usually significantly more expensive than their variable aperture counterparts.

    Fixed Focal Length

    Lenses with fixed optics are usually of higher quality than a corresponding zoom lens at the same focal distance. They are also called "fixed" or "prime" lenses.

  • Sensor Type

    Full Frame

    Photographic lenses designed for use on full frame sensor cameras. A full frame lens can also be used on a crop frame sensor camera, but with its focal length adjusted according to the corresponding crop factor.

    For example, a full frame lens with a focal length of 50mm (standard) on a camera body with a crop factor of 1.6 will function with a perspective as if it were an 80mm lens (telephoto).

    The reverse does not work as the optics of a crop frame lens are not sufficient to cover an entire full frame sensor, resulting in the edges of the frame being black (severe vignetting).

  • Maximum Aperture (f)

    Opening the diaphragm determines the amount of light received by the camera and affects the depth of field.
    2. The most open aperture of a lens is called the maximum. The more open the aperture (smaller f-number), the shallower the depth of field.

Description

Description

The Sony FE 20mm F1.8 G is a prime wide-angle lens for full-frame cameras with a Sony E-mount. Its optical design includes two AA aspherical elements and three ED glass elements to reduce aberrations and color distortion. The 9-blade aperture creates smooth bokeh, while the Nano AR coating reduces reflections, flare, and ghosting.

Two XD linear motors support fast, quiet autofocus and tracking. The minimum focusing distance is 0.19 m with autofocus and 0.18 m with manual focus. The lens features internal focusing, dust and moisture resistance, a focus-hold button that can be assigned other functions, and an aperture ring with a switchable click mechanism.

Advanced G Series Optics with AA Elements and ED Glass

The 20 mm ultra-wide focal length ensures impressively wide shots.
It incorporates two advanced, pioneering-design AA (Advanced Aspherical) elements.
The aspherical optics dramatically minimize distortion and field curvature.
It also includes three ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass elements.
It eliminates sagittal coma flare for perfectly rendered points of light.
It delivers impressive resolution across the entire frame, even at the maximum F1.8 aperture.

Bright F1.8 Maximum Aperture and Silky 9-Blade Bokeh

The bright maximum aperture of F1.8 allows comfortable shooting in low-light conditions.
It enables fast shutter speeds for sharp, handheld shots without camera shake.
The iris features a carefully designed 9-blade circular aperture.
Combined with precise control of spherical aberration, it delivers stunning results.
It creates smooth, velvety, realistic bokeh in out-of-focus areas.
It makes the main subject stand out, adding natural dimension and distinctive depth.

Two XD Linear Motors for Lightning-Fast Focusing and Tracking

The focusing system is driven by two XD (extreme Dynamic) linear motors.
It makes full use of the high speed and tracking accuracy of modern Sony cameras.
Specialized control algorithms enable instantaneous movement of the optical elements.
It ensures quiet autofocus with exceptionally low vibration.
It responds ideally to both rapid photo bursts and video recording.
It guarantees stable tracking even of subjects moving at high speed.

Close-Ups from 0.18 m, Vlogging, and 30 mm Equivalent on APS-C

The lens stands out for its outstanding performance in extreme close-up shots.
It offers a minimum focusing distance of just 0.18 meters in manual focus mode (MF).
When using autofocus (AF), the minimum focusing distance is 0.19 meters.
Combined with its wide angle, it is a perfect choice for selfies and vlogging.
When mounted on APS-C bodies, it provides a 30 mm equivalent focal length.
The 30 mm range is ideal for street, city, and mountain hiking photography.

Professional Handling, De-Clicking, and Weather Sealing

The lens combines professional handling with an exceptionally light weight of just 373 g.
It features an aperture ring with an ON/OFF click switch for silent operation during video recording.
It includes a customizable focus hold button and an AF/MF switch.
Linear-response manual focus delivers an immediate, precise mechanical feel.
It features an Anti-Reflective Nano Crystal coating and a fluorine coating on the front element.
The dust- and moisture-resistant design ensures dependable performance for outdoor shooting.

    Amazing sharpness, contrast, color reproduction, and lightning-fast AF. Sometimes, it's better to use Spot or Zone AF in videos because with Wide, it can get confused and prioritize the wrong subjects Sony A7iv.

    In reality, it's 19mm. I got it to replace the Tamron 17-28, which was equally amazing lens but I wanted the extra stop in light. Stunning astrophotography with minimal distortions. It's unbeatable in videos.
