Photographyblog tested the new Sony 20mm f/1.8 G lens and concluded:

The Sony FE 20mm f/1.8 G is an outstanding ultra-wide-angle prime lens with a fast maximum aperture at a more attractive price-point than the comparable FE 24mm F1.4 GM lens.
This very compact, lightweight optic delivers excellent sharpness in the centre of the frame throughout its aperture range, even performing well wide-open at f/1.8, with performance at the edges not too far behind.
The near-circular 9-blade aperture in conjunction with the 18cm minimum focusing distance makes it possible to create some appealing bokeh effects, despite the ultra-wide-angle nature of the lens.
Coupled with a high-resolution camera like the Alpha A7R III that we tested it with, it’s capable of producing incredibly detailed, very sharp images when stopped down.
The Sony FE 20mm f/1.8 G delivered fast, near-silent and reliable auto-focusing on the A7R III camera, with the Click switch for the aperture ring making it well-suited to both stills and movies.
It offers an acceptable level of build quality, plus it’s usefully weather-tight too.
In summary, the Sony FE 20mm f/1.8 G is a fantastic ultra-wide-angle prime lens that is another great addition to the Sony Alpha range.

Here is the first comparison between the two new 20mm lenses:

During the various press events for the Fujifilm X-T4 launch, Fujifilm has shown this video comparing the autofocus between their flagship camera and the Sony A7rIV. But as noticed by some it looks like the settings on the Sony camera where off.

First:
I do own the A7rIV and did never experience the tracking to be so bad as show in the video.

Second:
Readers of Fujirumors themselves noticed that settings of the camera seems to be off. For example they didn’t lock in the AF on the Sony

Third:
As a principle the more depth of field you have the easier it is for the camera to focus. So it should have been more proper to set the A7RiV lens aperture to match the X-T4 depth of field (in the video both cameras are at f/2.8)

But please check out the video. maybe you will find more odd things…
