Our take on the Sony Alpha E-mount 20mm f/2.8 Prime Lens SEL20F28

The Sony SEL20F28 is a 20mm f/2.8 wide-angle prime for Sony E-mount cameras. It is a pancake design, so it keeps a compact body small and light, and its 30mm-equivalent field of view suits street, landscape and indoor shooting. It has no optical stabilization, so it leans on in-body stabilization or good light. Against zoom lenses it trades flexibility for size and a faster aperture; against Sony's 16mm f/2.8 it is a little narrower and generally sharper toward the edges.

What reviewers say

Owners like it as a tiny, affordable wide prime that makes a compact body genuinely pocketable. Most criticism centers on soft corners at f/2.8 and distortion that relies on in-camera correction.

What people mention
  • SizePraisedOwners say it turns a compact E-mount body into a pocketable setup.
  • SharpnessMixedThe center is sharp, but corners soften at f/2.8 and improve stopped down.
  • DistortionCriticisedReviewers note barrel distortion that depends on in-camera correction.
  • AutofocusPraisedFocus is described as fast and quiet, which suits video as well as stills.
  • BuildCriticisedSome owners find the plastic barrel less reassuring than metal lenses.

Questions and answers

Is the Sony 20mm f/2.8 good for street photography?
Yes. Its small size and 30mm-equivalent view on APS-C make it easy to carry and frame quickly. The f/2.8 aperture helps in shade and indoors.
Does this lens have image stabilization?
No. It relies on the camera's in-body stabilization or on faster shutter speeds. On bodies without stabilization, expect to stop down or raise ISO in low light.
How does it compare with the Sony 16mm f/2.8?
The 20mm is narrower and generally sharper toward the edges. The 16mm is wider but softer and needs more correction.
What is the field of view on an APS-C camera?
It gives about a 30mm equivalent, a mild wide angle. On a full-frame body it is a true 20mm ultra-wide, though it is designed for APS-C use.
What comes in the box?
The lens, front and rear caps, and a lens hood are typically included. Check the listing for the exact bundle.
Is it worth it over the kit zoom?
If you want a smaller lens and a faster aperture for low light, yes. The kit zoom is more flexible but slower and bulkier.
Where is the Sony Alpha E-mount 20mm f/2.8 Prime Lens SEL20F28 cheapest?
At Newegg, for $389.95, as of our latest check.
