Sony FE 20mm f/1.8 G Lens

   

An ultrawide prime mixing sleek size with versatile speed, the FE 20mm f/1.8 G brings versatility to a typically niche focal length. As a G series lens, this wide optic uses a series of aspherical and low dispersion elements to control various aberrations, while a Nano AR Coating suppresses flare and ghosting. The Dual XD Linear Motor system also yields impressively quiet and fast focusing performance, and a customizable focus hold button offers intuitive tactile control for adjusting shooting settings. It also has a manual aperture ring with a de-click switch and weather-resistant design with a front fluorine coating.
