Sony FE 20mm f/1.8 G field test
Early adopters of the Sony mirrorless system have watched with glee as the native lens lineup has grown over the last few years. What was once one of the biggest criticisms of the system is now one of the largest strengths, with more and more incredible glass released every month! Understandably, a lot of this growth has been focused on the “classic” primes like the nifty-50, portrait lenses, and super-telephoto wildlife lenses.
For the landscape and astrophotography lovers, until recently, the list has been a bit bleak, with the only wide-angle, fast-aperture lenses being made by 3rd party manufacturers. The Sony 28mm f/2 lived in my bag for several years, and the 24mm f/1.4 is an absolute blessing. However, landscape lovers in search of a true super-wide prime have been left wanting – until today. The brand new Sony 20mm f/1.8 perfectly fills the biggest missing gap in the Sony lineup, and does it with style: the lens is exactly wide enough for dramatic nightscapes and daytime landscape shots, but still maintains a distortion-free rectilinear image projection. The fast f/1.8 aperture is a full 1.3 stops faster than the 16-35mm f/2.8 GM. All of this is accomplished in a lens smaller and lighter than any similar competitors in the class – nearly 20% lighter than the 24mm f/1.4, and 24% lighter than the Tokina 20mm f/2).

Three weeks ago SAR told you as first that Sony would announce a fast wide angle prime lens in late February. And indeed this underwhelming rumor turned out to be true. I really was hoping to get at least the compact camera that Sony registered back in December. But nope :(
But let’s get over the disappointment and focus on what’s coming next. Here is the recap:
Stay tuned folks!
