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.

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.

Let the FE 20mm f/1.8 G Lens for Sony E revolutionize your photography experience. This compact, high-resolution prime lens is equipped with Sony's latest optical technology, delivering impressive corner-to-corner resolution even at its maximum F1.8 aperture. Ideal for capturing ultra-wide 20mm perspectives, this lens boasts superb resolution and two AA (advanced aspherical) elements that minimize aberration for outstanding image clarity.

Weighing just 13.2 oz (373 g), this lens is remarkably compact and lightweight, enhancing mobility and handling when used with compact E-mount bodies. Its refined mechanical system supports an advanced optical design, making it a well-balanced system that's perfect for use on gimbals or accessory grips.

The FE 20mm f/1.8 G Lens is a versatile tool for a wide range of still and movie shooting situations. It features a 9-blade circular aperture that contributes to smooth, natural-looking bokeh and highlights, hallmarks of the G Lens series. Two AA elements and three ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass elements minimize sagittal flare, ensuring point light sources are accurately reproduced without color smearing.

Equipped with two XD (eXtreme Dynamic) Linear Motors, this lens maximizes AF speed, precision, and tracking, keeping up with the high-speed capabilities of today's most advanced camera bodies. New control algorithms drive the lens's large focus group smoothly and silently, ensuring responsive, low-vibration autofocus.

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. This makes it an excellent choice for gimbal/grip mounting, whether shooting selfies or other subjects.

For smooth operation and high reliability, the lens features a focus hold button, focus mode switch, and aperture ring, all designed and positioned for easy operation and a smooth workflow. 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. This lens is not just a tool, but a gateway to capturing your world in stunning detail.
