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.

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.
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.
