Description
This ultra-wide 20mm Prime G Lens offers outstanding corner-to-corner sharpness with a fast f/1.8 maximum aperture, making it ideal for a wide variety of scenarios like landscape, street, starry-nights and environmental portraits. Furthermore, the XD (Extreme Dynamic) Linear focus motorstrack focus flawlessly. The features and lightweight design make this lens ideal for videographers and vloggers as well.Advanced Optical PerformanceA state-of-the-art optical design with two AA (advanced aspherical) elements and three ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass elements accurately reproduces point light sources with high contrast and an absolute minimum of sagittal flare for crisp, clear images of challenging subjects such as night scenes and starry skies. The Nano Anti-reflective coating suppresses reflections, flare and ghosting, while the fluorine coating on the front lens element repels water, oil, and other contaminants for sharp, clear images.Beautiful, Natural-Looking BokehThe deep, beautiful bokeh available with a maximum f/1.8 aperture is enhanced by a 9-blade circular aperture mechanism and precise control of spherical aberration characteristics that influence the defocused background quality. The FE 20mm f/1.8 G lens delivers the type of smooth, natural-looking bokeh that discerning users have come to expect from a G Lens.Two AA (Advanced Aspherical) Lens ElementThe 20mm f/1.8 G lens employs two precision AA (Advanced Aspherical) elements to maximize resolution and effectively compensates for field curvature and astigmatism that can be problematic in wide-angle lenses, achieving high corner-to-corner resolution even with the narrow depth-of-field produced at the lens’s maximum f/1.8 aperture.Three ED Glass ElementsThree ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass elements significantly reducing flare and ghosting by taking axial chromatic aberration and chromatic aberration (due to differences in magnification) out of the picture. Resolution and bokeh is maximized while leaving precisely rendered edges with no fringing or unnatural coloration right out to the image edges.f/1.8 Maximum ApertureThe f/1.8 max aperture maintains exposure and depth of field, allowing you to isolate your subject from the foreground and background with amazing light gathering capabilities when shooting wide open. When changing your aperture to defocus the background, the areas out of the focal plane appear blurred. This bokeh effect of the blurred background is enhanced with circular aperture blades used in this lens.XD Linear Motors for Fast, Precise, Quiet FocusingThe FE 20mm f/1.8 G lens incorporates a precision internal focus mechanism consisting of two XD (extreme dynamic) Linear Motors that easily keep up with the high-speed capabilities of today’s most advanced camera bodies, taking advantage of their full autofocus speed, precision, and tracking potential to capture the most dynamic subjects. New control algorithms make it possible to drive the lens’s focus group smoothly and without delays for responsive, silent, low-vibration and continuous autofocus in both still and video modes.Nano Anti-Reflective Coating Suppresses Reflections, Flare and GhostingFlare and ghosting are often hard to avoid when shooting landscapes or outdoor scenes in strong sunlight with a wide-angle lens. Sony’s original Nano Anti-reflective Coating technology effectively suppresses internal reflections so that high-contrast, clear images can be captured even in difficult light.Compact, Lightweight DesignThis lens weighs just 0.82 pounds and measures in at only 2.89 x 3.33 inches. It’s small size and light weight enhance mobility when used with compact E-mount Full-frame or APS-C bodies and make up a well-balanced system that is ideal for use on gimbals or accessory grips..

Reviews
Perfect one lens setup for Landscape and Astro
The Sony FE20mm 1.8 G lens is a superb companion for many occasions, I use it mainly for Travel, Landscape and Astro Photography. Light as a feather, with superb construction quality, and extremely sharp even at maximum wide aperture is a must-have for any photography hobbyist, enthusiast and professional.
What a lens!
I bought this lens to use with my Sony A7R IV. I wanted a prime lens that would produce great imagery without breaking the bank. I bought it after reading numerous online reviews and could not find a negative. I am absolutely delighted with the build quality, superb imagery and the weight I’ve owned other manufactures 20mm f1.8 lenses, but for me this is the best I could have ever hoped for. Well done Sony in producing such a great lens at an affordable price.
Sharp sharp!!
Super sharp lens, great focal length, well built with all the manual controls.
A versatile, sharp lens
The Sony 20mm f1.8 G is a versatile lens: great for landscape, astrophotography and architecture. It's incredibly sharp, compact and relatively light.
fantastic for a G-series lens.
I bought this lens about a month and and am so happy I did. It's sharp and has excellent color.
Clearly an Amazing Lens - Street, Astro, Landscape
This is a special little lens. I'm sure "little" will be in every review, but it is so strikingly compact, even sitting next to it's FE 24 F/1.4 GM sibling. It's just small! But, it really delivers, with focus speeds, sharp images edge to edge, incredible corners, especially for stars, and just a unique rendering quality. I really like this lens a lot.
Fantastic lens
Got this lens only a few days ago, and although the coronavirus lock down means that subjects are very limited, I can tell that this is going to be a fantastic addition to the Sony lens range for the A7 Mk 2
Another WINNER!
I've been shooting the 24mm F1.4 GM for few months and extremely impressed with the results this lens produces. however, I would prefer wider prime native lens, hence, the new 20mm F1.8 G. I bought this newly released 20mm F1.8 with the hopes that it will be my go to everyday lens; I have a feeling that it will be. This is by no means a full review but I wanted to see how it performs in close up situations so I snapped couple shots in my backyard; it certainly holds up to the hype. I'll be taking it out in the next couple of days to do some landscapes testing at Joshua Tree National Park (day & Astro tests). I have to say that Sony did it again, they delivered a "Tiny-but-Mighty" master piece with small size, light weight, silent autofocus, aperture ring, and super sharp just to mention few great features. Yes, it is expensive but worth every penny for me as I can travel much lighter going forward. Technical values for both shots taken with A7R-IV in RAW straight out of camera. The only thing I did is square crop them both then export from LR as small JPGs : The Rose: F/1.8 1/500 ISO 125 The Watch: F/5.6 1/100 ISO 125
