Product details

The design of the new lens incorporates two AA (Advanced Aspherical) elements and three ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass elements to effectively suppress chromatic aberrations and ensure high image quality
over the entire image area, even at the maximum aperture of F1.8. The lens offers outstanding close-up performance with a minimum focus distance of 0.19 metres (maximum magnification: 0.2x) and delivers an impressive bokeh.

The compact design and versatile applications of the new SEL-20F18G make it the perfect all-round lens for photographers and videographers. Thanks to its small size and light weight of only 373 grams, it is ideal for mobile use - especially when combined with a compact e-mount camera from Sony and using gimbals or accessory handles.

In addition, the two XD (extremely dynamic) linear motors ensure fast, precise and quiet focusing for both photo and video recording.

The FE 20 millimetre F1.8 G lens is dust- and moisture-resistant and has a fluorine coating on the front element. It is equipped with an individually adjustable focus hold button and an aperture ring with an on/off switch. It is also compatible with a wide range of 67-millimeter filters that open up even more creative possibilities.

"When developing lenses, Sony's top priority is to respond to the wishes of its customers. Many landscape photographers using Sony E-mount system have expressed the desire for a fast, lightweight and versatile ultra-wide-angle premium lens," said Yann Salmon Legagneur, Director of Product Marketing, Digital Imaging, Sony Europe. "The new SEL-20F18G is Sony's answer to this demand for a combination of excellent image quality, portability and superior AF performance. It is suitable for both full frame and APS-C camera video and is an important addition to Sony's lens range.

For a fast super wide-angle lens, 1100 euros is fine - if the performance is right. The FE 1.8/20 mm impresses at aperture 1.8 in the centre of the frame with top values for resolution and contrast. The edge fall-off is noticeable, but ok because of the high performance in the centre of the image...
