Sony Unveils Fast E-Mount 20mm Share This on LinkedIn   Tweet This   Forward This

25 February 2020

Sony has announced its latest full-frame E-mount prime: a compact, 20mm f1.8 G that weighs 13.2 oz. The full-frame design proves a 30mm equivalent on APS-C cameras.

It features two advanced aspheric to reduce distortion and three extra-low dispersion elements to handle color fringing and chromatic aberration. The silent CD focus motor can achieve focus as close as 7.5 inches.

A Nano AR coating has been applied to minimize surface reflections, flare and ghosting. A Flourine coating on the front element resists fingerprints, dust and moisture.

Customizable focus hold buttons on the lens barrel provide tactile control and rapid access to select settings.
