Just wide enough

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

Great Wide Angle lens

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.

Great lens

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.

It's not budget, but it is value

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.

Impressive Prime for Astro

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.

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.

Outstanding images

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.

New To Sony

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.

Good! How good?

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.

Excellent lens!

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.

A versatile, sharp lens

By Bruce74

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.

An exceptional fusion of portability and performance, the FE 20mm f/1.8 G Lens for Sony E-mount cameras is a high-quality, ultra-wide prime lens that delivers stunning corner-to-corner sharpness even at its maximum aperture of f/1.8. This lens is a testament to Sony's innovative optical technology, offering photographers and videographers a versatile tool for a myriad of shooting scenarios, from expansive landscapes to intimate close-ups.

Crafted with precision, the lens incorporates two advanced aspherical (AA) elements in its design, effectively minimizing aberration and ensuring outstanding resolution across the entire image frame. The inclusion of three Extra-low Dispersion (ED) glass elements further aids in reducing chromatic aberration, ensuring that point light sources are rendered with high fidelity and without color smearing.

Weighing in at just 13.2 oz (373 g), this compact and lightweight lens enhances mobility, making it an ideal companion for the on-the-go content creator. When paired with Sony's E-mount camera bodies, it forms a well-balanced system that's perfect for handheld shooting, gimbal work, or mounting on accessory grips.

The FE 20mm f/1.8 G is not just about sharpness; it also excels in creating beautifully smooth, natural-looking bokeh, thanks to its 9-blade circular aperture. This feature is a hallmark of the G Lens series, allowing for the creation of images with soft, creamy backgrounds that make your subjects stand out.

Autofocus performance is both swift and silent, courtesy of two XD (eXtreme Dynamic) Linear Motors. These motors are engineered to maximize AF speed, precision, and tracking, keeping pace with today's advanced camera bodies. The new control algorithms ensure smooth, responsive, and low-vibration autofocus, making it easier to capture dynamic subjects with confidence.

Close-up capabilities are also impressive, 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) in manual focus, making it an excellent choice for capturing detailed shots or engaging selfies.

The lens is designed with the user in mind, featuring a focus hold button, focus mode switch, and an aperture ring for intuitive operation and a seamless shooting experience. The focus hold button can be customized via camera body menu settings to suit individual shooting preferences.

Durability is key for any lens, and the FE 20mm f/1.8 G doesn't disappoint. The front lens element boasts a fluorine coating to repel water and grime, while the lens's dust- and moisture-resistant construction ensures reliable performance in challenging outdoor conditions.

This bundle enhances the lens's utility with the inclusion of a Hoya NXT Plus 67mm UV+CPL Filter, which protects the lens and improves image clarity, a cleaning kit to maintain the lens's pristine condition, and a cleaning cloth for quick touch-ups.

Whether you're a seasoned professional or new to the Sony ecosystem, the FE 20mm f/1.8 G Lens bundled with essential accessories is a reliable, high-quality choice that promises to deliver exceptional imagery across a diverse range of photographic pursuits.
