Wide but not too wide. This lens is sharp from corner to corner and excels at everything from architectural to astrophtography.

Have used this once or twice and the results are very sharp in the centre, but the corners do lag behind, hence the 4 stars instead of 5! Distortion is quite well controlled providing you are not too close to your subject.

I bought this lens about 3 weeks ago and I am very pleased it's wide but not too wide. I used it for landscape photography at Kew Gardens never changed the lens once for a whole day shoot really pleased

Highly delighted with this lens and results from it are great for my use as an enthusiast photographer, I have no need for G Master lens, nor can I justify their cost as an enthusiast.

This lens is fantastic. It's small, sharp as you're want, quick af. It's very expensive for a non gym prime, but it probably could have been a gm lens. If you want a uwa and don't rely on absurdly wide for dramatic impact, or if you want to do Astro without spending thousands on a lens, this is a great shout. It's my favourite wonky lens, and unfortunately the only one without significant flaws (35 1.8 is good for the price, but flawed). If you're on the fence I'd take this over the 16-35pz, this lens has a wow factor that the ox just doesn't have. I'm in the process of selling every other Sony branded lens(to buy one gm and pair it with some third party) and will keep this one, it's a gem. I wish Sony made other non gm lenses that were at least somewhat in the realm of affordable like this one, and weren't so terribly flawed.

Absolutely great lens. Very sharp, great autofocus and quite honestly outperforms my 35mm 1.4 GMin both image quality and autofocus

This was recommended to me by several people for astrophotography and it does not disappoint. Its 1.8 aperture allows so much light and makes focusing on stars so much easier. Very little coma.

Small compact with full aperture and AF/MF switch. Sony, please make the same for 35mm, 50mm and 85mm G Prime with the same design and at F1.8!

Bought this lens knowing I'll only have limited use due to the nature of my photography is in wildlife. But the build & image quality out of it is amazing.

I've used the Sony 20mm mainly for landscapes. Fast aperture and very lightweight.

I've been using his about a month now and am very impressed. I was looking for a multipurpose wide angle for Astro photography that would also be useful for landscape and am very happy with this lens. 20mm is a good sweet spot between the ultra wide 14 and the somewhat 24mm. This lens does outperform the 24mm gm in terms of sharpness. Distortion is minimal, handles flare very well and little to no fringing. Perfect lens for 2 prime lens backcountry travel. This and the 55 1.8 is an extremely lightweight and compact combo.

Let me preface this by saying that I'm new to the Sony ecosystem? this lens is incredibly impressive. Sharp and allows great detail. I wasn't sure how I'd like the manual aperture ring but I fell right in line with it naturally and haven't used the in camera aperture adjustment since. This lens is great for landscape but what I'm really surprised about is how close you can get and the detail it produces when you do. I definitely recommend this lens.

Super sharp and crispy lens for both photo and video. The autofocus is nice and snappy and the field of view is perfect for landscape, architecture and even vlogging. Highly recommended.

Comparitive with Sony 24mm F1 8 za is not as sharp but nearly there. The Len can gather alot light, sometime it over exposed the image. The form factor balance with my hand profile. Still learning to the characteristic of this Len.

I bought this lens last year after acquiring the my A7C. The 20mm f1.8 is outstanding particular for indoor limited light use. I personally dislike using flashes under any circumstances as it proves difficult to adjust (for me) even in post. This lens gives me the freedom to use it for limited light situations and still achieve great results.

Small, easy to use/handle with great performance. Aperture at f/1.8 for low light photo capture. And it is a G lens.

Lensa dengan kualitas terbaik untuk wide angle dengan performa yang optimal. Sangat ringan dibawa kemanapun, dan jika dikombinasikan dengan kamera Sony yang bisa adaptif dengan mode apsc maka saya bisa memperoleh lensa 35mm meskipun mengorbankan resolusi sih

It is extremely light weight, great for gimbal video filming. It's sharp picture quality even up to the corners. The click and de click of iris is very useful for photo or video filming.

The Sony FE20mm 1.8 G lens is a superb companion for many occasions, I use it mainly for Travel, Landscape and Astro Photography. Light as a feather, with superb construction quality, and extremely sharp even at maximum wide aperture is a must-have for any photography hobbyist, enthusiast and professional.

The Sony 20mm f1.8 G is a versatile lens: great for landscape, astrophotography and architecture. It's incredibly sharp, compact and relatively light.
A really great lens
By TerryDover1
Sony has been building its inventory of lenses for E-Mount cameras. We can now say that Sony has arrived with this lens. So... if you purchase an E-Mount, you should have what you need to shoot great photos.
Find the perfect balance of high-resolution and compact design with the FE 20mm f/1.8 G Lens for Sony E. This lens, bundled with a ProOptic 67mm Filter Kit, Soft Lens Case, Lens Cleaner, Cleaning Kit, and Universal Lens Cap Tether, is a comprehensive package for all your photography needs.
This high-quality, durable lens is designed with Sony's latest optical technology, delivering impressive corner-to-corner resolution even at its maximum F1.8 aperture. This innovative lens is remarkably compact, making it an ideal companion for your E-mount body. Experience outstanding autofocus performance, control, and reliability for a wide range of shooting needs, from landscape to portrait photography.
The lens features an ultra-wide 20mm perspective and superb resolution, thanks to two advanced aspherical (AA) elements. These elements, part of an innovative optical design, minimize aberration for outstanding image quality right from the lens's widest F1.8 aperture.
Despite its advanced features, this lens is lightweight at just 13.2 oz (373g), enhancing mobility when used with compact E-mount bodies. This makes it a well-balanced system, ideal for use on gimbals or accessory grips.
The FE 20mm F1.8 G lens is versatile, suitable for a wide variety of still and movie shooting situations. It offers smooth, natural-looking bokeh, thanks to precise control of spherical aberration and a 9-blade circular aperture.
The lens also features two AA elements and three Extra-low Dispersion (ED) glass elements to minimize sagittal flare, ensuring point light sources are reproduced accurately and without color smearing.
Experience fast, precise, and silent autofocus with two eXtreme Dynamic (XD) Linear Motors. These motors, combined with new control algorithms, drive the lens's large focus group smoothly and without delays.
The lens also offers excellent close-up performance with a minimum focusing distance of just 0.63 ft (0.19 m) in AF mode, and an even closer 0.59 ft (0.18 m) when focused manually.
For easy operation and a smooth workflow, the lens features a focus hold button, focus mode switch, and aperture ring. The front lens element is fluorine-coated to repel water and grime, and the lens' dust- and moisture-resistant design provides the reliability needed for outdoor use in challenging conditions.
In conclusion, the FE 20mm f/1.8 G Lens for Sony E is a high-quality, durable, and versatile choice for both professional photographers and hobbyists.
