As other people have mentioned, the images are fairly flat and not very sharp. For the price, I was expecting more (especially since the kit lens is almost comparable). It is lightweight and portable though.

Fast lens in my preferred focal length. My main subject is my kids, so I needed something fast and wide to capture them. This lens fits the bill. Its not as sharp as Canon L glass (what I am used to), but it is good enough to keep me happy with my A6000 purchase.

Exactly the size I wanted. The wide angle can get really close focus that looks incredible. Im filming my own version of the Revenant with it now.

I have been using a Sony NEX-7 for about a year and was desperate for a good (yet not too ridiculously expensive) compact prime lens. I chose the NEX-7 to have a great camera that remained portable. I initially used the SEL50F18 (Sonys 50mm f/1.8 E Mount) but found the pictures to be less sharp than expected with that lens; the 50 mm also made the camera more bulky. Then I finally got this lens. The 20mm f/2.8 has been providing much sharper images. In addition, its low profile makes the camera extremely portable. I use it on a daily basis for most of my "casual shooting." The only drawback is what is inherent to a 20mm lens - your shots will still be wide-angle even with a 1.5x crop factor. This is not ideal for portraits and there is some mild distortion. However, for traveling and use in tight indoor spaces, it has been an excellent choice. I tend to favor prime lenses over zoom because of better apertures, size/weight, and my style of shooting. I just tend to compose better with a prime. However, if youre not used to using a prime lens or want to avoid wider angles, there are several other options available for NEX line. For those looking for a daily carry lens, this might just be the one.

This Sony pancake wide angle lens is a outright miracle. OK, images are a bit soft around the edges, and the center of the image is sharpest when its stopped down somewhat (to f/8, for example) -- but considering the price and the size and weight, this lens is truly wonderful. 5+ stars.

This is my walk-around lens for my A6000. Its a really good lens, for the price. If you use Lightroom, which has a lens profile for it, you can easily fix photos taken with it (barrel, etc). Definitely my favorite Sony lens to date.

Great lens for my Sony A6000. Very compact, and clear 1080p60 video. The 2.8 aperture works well for low lighting as well. Great for vlogging, or videoing while on the go on vacation!
