Sony E 20mm F2.8

Sony E 20mm F2.8 Review

The E 20mm F2.8 is the ideal wide-angle pancake lens for your Sony mirrorless camera. Sony camera owners searching for a small, light lens should take a close look at the E 20mm F2.8 ($349.99). It's an ultra-slim prime and captures a moderate wide-angle view when paired with an APS-C sensor camera like the a6400. It's a much better performer than the older 16mm F2.8, and one of our favorite lenses for the Sony system in general, earning our Editors' Choice. Ultra-Slim The E 20mm F2.8 measures just 0.8 by 2.5 inches (HD), so it barely juts out from your camera. Sony includes a compact plastic lens hood; it adds about half an inch to the height, and matches the barrel's diameter. You'll need to remove the hood to add a filter—the thread supports the 49mm thread size, which is used by many of Sony's APS-C lenses. There is no dust or splash protection, which is a feature Sony has reserved for its full-frame lenses to date.

I purchased a Sony a6000 with zoom as a travel camera to slot in between my wife's Panasonic LX10 and my full frame Nikons. I got the 20mm to get better image quality than the zoom that came with the camera. I'm disappointed.

Five Stars

So far I am really pleased with this lens and the service by the seller

Tested it and found as the best lens for a6500

I've tested and compared with other lenses mounted on a6500. I took the same 4K video shot in the same enviroment. Sony-Zeiss 16-70/4 Sony Kit lens 16-50 Sony 10-18 Sony 20/2.8 I've watched at all video clips on BenQ BL3201PH CAD CAM Professional Monitor 32, nVidia GTX 980.

Good performance, even better form factor...

Pros: Small & light Great, but not excellent image quality Quick to focus, easy to use focal length Cons: A bit expensive (retail price) Not significant, but noticeable barrel distortion

Sony SEL20F28 20mm f/2.8

I love this lens, in particular for shooting videos in n tie spaces.. I tasted and it gave me the look that I was searching for without spending $$$$ on a wide lens.

Great lens but be prepared to purchase the Ultra Wide Converter

Very easy to use for photography and video. Works very well outdoors in a landscape setting. In this context I would give it 5stars. Interior shots where space is tight, it was more limited in scope than the standard lens supplied with the Sony a5100.

Excellent little lens

Bought this to use with an A6000 to take photos indoors over the Xmas period. It worked a treat and I got some great shots. As the combo was so small I popped in my coat pocket and took it out walking where it proved great for some lovely landscape shots.

I like it wide and sharp

I am a new photographer. I only had the Nex-7 and this lens since since November 2013. After shooting for the last six, I am finally learning just how good this lens can be.Best shots so far have been wide cityscape panoramas. I have also a few favorite up close photos inside a bar.

A good general wide angle lens

After reading the mediocre reviews for the SEL16F28, I ended up trying this lens (SEL20F28). The lens has proved to be very handy, and I am generally happy with the photos. The photos are sharp, but low light scenes may be a little dark with some vignetting. Two jpeg photos are uploaded for review.
