A wide angle prime lens with a large aperture is one that can handle a large range of shooting scenarios ranging from weddings coverage to astro work and more. This great video review takes a look at one such option for Sony shooters, the FE 20mm f/1.8 G lens. 

Coming to you from The Hybrid Shooter, this excellent video review takes a look at the Sony FE 20mm f/1.8 G lens. Weighing just a bit over 13 ounces, the 20mm f/1.8 G is impressively portable but still offers a range of useful features to produce good image quality and performance. Such features include:

  • Two advanced aspherical elements and three extra-low dispersion elements for less aberrations and distortion and better sharpness
  • Nano AR coating for less flares and ghosting and stronger contrast
  • Front fluorine coating to reduce fingerprints and dust and provide moisture-sealing
  • Dual XD linear motor and quick and quiet autofocus suitable for both photos and video
  • Rounded nine-blade diaphragm for smoother bokeh
  • Customizable focus hold buttons
  • De-clickable aperture

Altogether, the FE 20mm f/1.8 G looks like a versatile and useful prime for photos and video alike. Check out the video above for the full rundown on the lens.
