Sony FE 20mm f/1.8 G — Ultra-Wide Portable Prime
Compact G-series ultra-wide with pro optics, fast f/1.8 aperture, and video-ready controls
Overview
Presenting an ultra-wide field of view in a compact, travel-friendly body, the Sony FE 20mm f/1.8 G balances advanced optics with intuitive handling. From architecture and interiors to landscapes and vlogging, it delivers high sharpness, controlled aberrations, and pleasing bokeh—all while supporting front-mounted 67 mm filters for creative flexibility.
Key Features
G-Series Optics
Two AA (Advanced Aspherical) and three ED elements minimize distortion, spherical, and chromatic aberrations for crisp, accurate rendering.
Nano AR & Fluorine
Nano AR Coating suppresses flare/ghosting; front fluorine layer repels dust, moisture, and fingerprints for easier cleaning.
Bright f/1.8 Aperture
Great for low light and shallow depth-of-field; 9-blade rounded diaphragm produces smooth, circular bokeh.
Fast, Quiet AF
Dual XD Linear motors with internal focus for fast, precise, and silent autofocus—ideal for both photo and video.
Video-Ready Controls
De-clickable aperture ring, Linear Response MF, AF/MF switch, and customizable focus-hold button for tactile operation.
Compact & Durable
Lightweight 373 g design accepts 67 mm filters; dust- and moisture-resistant construction for reliability on the go.
