Customers are saying

Positive feedback also highlights its low-light capabilities and fast aperture. However, some customers find the price to be a drawback.

Good lens overall
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Though neither the sharpest nor most contrasty lens that I've encountered, the SEL20F28 is more than adequate considering its size. Images captured with this lens show a significant improvement over Sony's other pancake lens, the SEL16F28. Corners are no longer blurry, and the SEL20F28 is actually usable below f/4. It's great for turning the NEX into a more pocket-friendly camera. Lens correction support (in-camera with most E-mount cameras for JPEGs or in RAW editors) is a must. Sony's UWA adapter seems to work well with my copy of the 20mm, which turns it into a 15mm.

Better outdoors than indoors.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've only used it now just a handful of times. It works great outdoors. Indoors wasn't too great. But the outdoor pictures I got were just what I was hoping.

I would recommend this to a friend Came Broken
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After ordering this online it came to me with the focus completely non-functional. It would not focus manually, or with autofocus. I'd hoped I could exchange it, but was told they didn't have anymore.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendJust Okay
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.In my opinion this lens offers only minimal image quality above the kit lens. It does gather more light, but I returned this lens.

Great for travel
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This lens is quite a bit faster than the 18-55mm kit lens that comes with the lower-end Sony mirrorless cameras. At an affordable price, this wide-angle lens makes a very sharp image and is much better suited for landscapes and low-light scenes than the kit lens. I was also surprised at how well it performs for close-ups and portraits, although this is decidedly not a macro lens. The small and light package is arguably the best reason to buy this lens as most any other lens will take up much more space and weigh a lot more. There is some distortion, but it is very subtle. At f2.8, you can easily take indoor pictures without a flash.
I would recommend this to a friend - Pros mentioned:Low light performanceCons mentioned:Price
Okay lens a bit soft
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this lens for a NEX 6. I shot equivalent photos with it and the kit lens. About as soft at the same focal length as the kit lens. The only benefit is a bit smaller than the power zoom but then you lose the zoom capability and the f stop is only a 2.8 versus 3.5. So a bit faster and better low light performance. Not worth the price. Get a 50mm f1.8 and that is tack sharp.

Tiny little lens with Great IQ
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Amazing little lens. Perfect with my A6000 camera. AF is snappy, so hunting even in dim light. I recommend anyone who wants small and lightweight wide angle lens.
