Sony 20 mm F/1.8 G FE

Description

Compact and high-resolution 20mm F1.8 prime
Sony's new optical technology achieves stunning resolution across the entire image from a maximum aperture of F1.8 in a very compact, large-aperture wide-angle prime lens. Combined with an E-mount body, this creates a mobile system with extraordinary AF performance, control, and reliability.

Compact and lightweight for improved mobility and handling
Its advanced optical design with two AA elements is supported by a refined mechanical system in a G lens weighing just 373 g. Its small size and light weight enhance mobility when used with compact E-mount bodies, and it's a balanced system ideal for additional gimbals or grips. The FE 20mm F1.8 G is a versatile lens for a variety of photography and video shooting situations.

Natural-looking smoothed bokeh
In addition to precise control of spherical aberration that greatly improves bokeh quality, the FE 20mm F1.8 G's 9-blade circular aperture helps achieve the silky smooth bokeh and natural-looking highlights that are hallmarks of G lenses.

Realistic reproduction of point sources
Two AA (Advanced Aspherical) elements and three ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass elements minimize sagittal flare and reproduce point light sources accurately and without color cast.

XD Linear Motors: Speed, Accuracy, and AF Tracking
Two XD (eXtreme Dynamic) linear motors keep pace with the high-speed capabilities of today's most advanced camera bodies, leveraging all the speed, precision, and tracking to capture even the most dynamic subjects. New control algorithms drive the lens's large focusing group smoothly and lag-free for fast, quiet, and low-vibration AF.

Excellent close-up performance, even in selfies
Aside from 20mm being a fantastic focal length for selfies, this lens has a minimum focusing distance of just 0.19m when using AF mode and even 0.18m when focusing manually. It's a fantastic option for gimbal or grip mounting, whether for capturing selfies or other subjects.

Compact lens with smooth operation and high reliability
The focus hold button, focus mode switch, aperture ring, and other controls have been designed and positioned for smooth, easy operation. Alternative functions can be assigned to the focus hold button in the camera menu. The fluorine coating on the front lens element repels water and dirt, and the lens's dust- and moisture-resistant design allows it to withstand demanding outdoor conditions.
