A wide angle, wide aperture prime lens is a versatile optic that can jump into a lot of situations competently, ranging from events work to astrophotography. This excellent video review takes a look at just such a lens, the Sony FE 20mm f/1.8 G.
Coming to you from Lok Cheung, this great video review takes a look at the Sony FE 20mm f/1.8 G lens. The 20mm f/1.8 G is quite portable, weighing in at a little over 13 ounces. It comes with two advanced aspherical elements and three extra-low dispersion elements for reduced aberrations and distortion and improved sharpness, a Nano AR coating for reduced flares and ghosting and improved contrast, a dual XD linear motor for fast and quiet autofocus, fluorine coating to protect the front element from fingerprints, and dust and moisture-sealing to protect from the elements. In addition to these features, the lens also has customizable focus hold buttons that can toggle a range of settings, a de-clickable aperture, and a rounded nine-blade diaphragm for smoother bokeh. Altogether, the 20mm f/1.8 looks like an intriguing option for a wide range of Sony shooters looking for such a lens. Check out the video above for Cheung's full thoughts on it.
