Sony FE 20mm f/1.8 G Lens

A new, fast f/1.8, ultra-wide Sony G-series prime lens expands the full-frame E-mount lineup and brings a multi-faceted new tool to Sony photographers and filmmakers. The new lens features technology found in the highly-touted Sony G Master line in a compact and lightweight design at less than $1000. The Sony 20mm f/1.8 G has two advanced aspherical elements and three extra-low-dispersion elements and a 7.5-inch close-focusing distance (making it an excellent option for close-up, wide-angle photography). Landscape, astrophotography and street photographers as well as filmmakers using both full-frame and APS-C cameras will find the new lens to be a welcome addition to their kits.

Adding to its extensive range of native mirrorless full-frame lenses, Sony Electronics today announced the launch of the new G Lens series FE 20mm F1.8 G (model name SEL20F18G), perfect for a variety of creative needs including portraits, astrophotography, landscape and street photography, as well as capturing impressive video. Ensuring exceptional G Lens resolution and bokeh, the FE 20mm F1.8 G is a compact, lightweight, ultra-wide prime lens – the widest full-frame prime lens in Sony's E-mount lineup – giving users a new resource for stretching the boundaries of their artistic imaginations.

The impressive lens design features two advanced aspherical (AA) elements and three extra-low dispersion (ED) glass elements to suppress chromatic aberration and delivers high corner-to-corner image quality with minimal distortion, even at the maximum F1.8 aperture. It has excellent close-up performance, with a minimum focus distance of 7.5 inches (max. magnification: 0.2 times), and delivers beautifully de-focused backgrounds (bokeh). For challenging subjects like night scenes or starry skies, the FE 20mm F1.8 G delivers crisp and clear images thanks to its advanced optical design that accurately reproduces point light sources with high contrast and minimum sagittal flare.

The compact design and versatility of the FE 20mm F1.8 G makes it the perfect all-inclusive lens for photographers and videographers. Weighing only 13.2 oz (373g), its small size and light weight make it truly mobile when used with compact E-mount bodies as part of a well-balanced system that is ideal for use on gimbals or accessory grips.

In addition, the use of two extreme dynamic (XD) Linear Motors delivers fast, precise and quiet autofocus for both stills and video shooting.

Designed to be dust and moisture resistant and having a fluorine front element coating, the FE 20mm F1.8 G is highly reliable and easy to operate. It also features a customizable focus-hold button and aperture ring with a click on/off switch and is compatible with a variety of 67mm filters for extra creative control.

Features:

  • Ultra-wide-angle Prime G lens
  • XD Linear Motor offering excellent response and low vibration for fast, precise, quiet AF
  • Two AA elements and three ED glasses for high resolution throughout the image area
  • Sony Nano AR Coating to eliminate flare and ghosting
  • Focus hold button and other features support professional shooting needs
