Solid Performer
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The lens is very sharp, light, and fast. Even at this focal length, the 1.8 bottom provides limited depth of field with close subjects allowing soft backgrounds.

Great picture and price for this
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Clarity is great as well as the glass. Performs almost as expected. The AF is not always the best but manual focusing is absolute

Solid
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sharp, super wide and a flexible little lens. The weight and ease of use is great. However, I have notice a little bit of focus pulsing when try to auto focus (continuous AF) on darker/distant objects. Although, there has yet to be a firmware update, so I expect this will be improved soon.

A must have lens for Sony camers
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm using A7R3 and A6400, this lens is VERY sharp even when wide open, CA is well controlled and I can barely see any purple or green fringing. When using on a6400 or Super 35 mode on A7R3, the focal length is about 30mm which is very close to the mobile phone so the people who just switched to Miroless camera will feel very comfortable. And the F2 aperture will give a real blurish background instead of the fake algorithm on the mobile device. A must-have lens for Sony mirrorless camera.

Better than the 24mm G Master in my opinion
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This lens is perfect for any wide-angle and astrophotography requirements that a Sony Alpha shooter may have. Much cheaper than the 24mm f1/4 GM lens (and lighter too), yet it is so sharp it's almost impossible to tell the difference (except for the $$$ you saved!). Recommended!

Another Staple Lense from Sony
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Fantastic lenses being used on an A7 IV. Solid build quality, as expected from the Standard Sony lense. LOVE the extremely fast auto focus and obviously the focus breathing compensation works with the A7 IV and this lense so it’s amazing for video. I absolutely needed this wide angle. Perfect for vlog style selfies and getting everyone in a shot.

Excellent but pricey
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For the 1 week I have had it, I would say it's a pretty sharp lens. It's 1.8 so it will beat out the Tamron 20mm but cost 2.5 times more. Love how it has the af mf switch the customizable button and the apature ring. Also has a rubber gasket.

Excellent Quality 20mm Prime Lens
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.You need to be careful when using this lens, since it can easily distort your image if phot is taken at a angle. Has awesome light gathering capabilities and is great for nighttime photography outdoors using a flash. Isn't as light weight as I thought, but this is a very high quality lens.
