Sony FE 20mm F/1.8 G - (EU)

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 f/1.8. The lens offers outstanding close-up performance with a minimum focus distance of 0.19 meters (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 millimeter f/1.8 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 the 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.".
