- Is the Sony FE 20mm F1.8 G good for astrophotography?
- Yes. The fast f/1.8 aperture and sharp wide-open performance make it a popular choice for night skies, and its light weight helps on a star tracker. Coma is well controlled for a wide prime.
- How does it compare with the Sony 24mm f/1.4 GM?
- The 20mm is wider, lighter and smaller, and it focuses faster for video. The 24mm GM is faster at f/1.4 and better for isolating subjects, but it is heavier and more expensive.
- Does it work on APS-C Sony cameras?
- Yes, it mounts on E-mount APS-C bodies, where it gives roughly a 30mm equivalent field of view. It is designed for full frame, so you carry more size and weight than an APS-C prime.
- Does it have image stabilization?
- No. It relies on the camera's in-body stabilization, so pair it with an IBIS-equipped body for handheld video.
- What is in the box?
- The lens, front and rear caps, a lens hood and a soft pouch. A 67mm filter thread means most standard filters fit.
- Is it worth it over a 16-35mm zoom?
- If you shoot in low light or want shallow depth of field at wide angles, the f/1.8 aperture and lighter weight make it worthwhile. A zoom gives more framing flexibility in one lens.
