Awesome Wide-Angle Lens with Stunning Clarity
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This thing is awesome! The Sony 20mm f/1.8 G delivers super sharp images with beautiful color and contrast. It’s lightweight, fast, and perfect for landscapes, vlogs, or astrophotography. The autofocus is quick and silent, and the wide aperture makes it great for low-light shots and smooth background separation. Easily one of the best compact wide-angle lenses for Sony shooters.

Small and powerful lens!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Small yet so much potential within a lense. You have the freedom to do so many styles of photography/videography while having that feeling of reliability. Pictures come out so crisp and videos are so smooth.

Must have lens for landscape photographers!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a great lens for landscape photography. The glass is excellent and the field of view perfect for shooting wide expanses. It vignettes in the corners of the image a little bit but it adds a really nice effect. This lens is excellent in low light and stellar, all puns intended, at astrophotography.

A Full Frame MUST lens
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This lens had definitely changed my life. Coming from the kit lens that comes with the A7iii my photos and videos are way more sharp and the boca at 1.8 is the nices I’ve ever seen on this camera. The lens is very light with a great build quality. Whether sealed and everything. I am told it had the same quality as the G series lenses & it shows. I’m gonna stick with this for a while as it fits my vlogging needs, as a wide, clean, & light lens.

excellent glass
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.this is my first prime lens for my Sony a7iii and it has been fantastic. quality is sharp and the build quality is excellent. has a nice heft to it feels good in the hand. the aperture ring is awesome I love its clickiness. AF is lightning fast so overall just a great lens. I was about to pull the trigger on the 24 but pretty happy I picked this one up. Great great for outdoors/landscapes/architecture. not so good for products/portraits as it does cause a little distortion.

Punches above its (light) weight!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a surprisingly useful lens! It’s fairly compact and light considering what it’s “got under the hood”. Fast F1.8 aperture, quite sharp and contrasty even wide open. Build quality is also good- but you’d expect that as this isn’t a “cheap” lens, still a lot cheaper than Sony’s top of the line G Master lenses but performs as well as my 24mm F1.4 G master- just a little wider and 3/5ths the price!

Amazing lens, just get it.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best wide lens in my kit so far and i've had the 24mm gm, 35mm gm, equivolents from sigma and tamron, etc. If you mostly shoot wide, this is a MUST have lens for your kit. The only thing I would have loved to see on this was an improvement in AF tracking. It still hunts and sometimes lags spot focus but you don't notice it much. Also doesn't suffer from the crazy breathing of the 35mm gm. I had to return it because it drove me up the wall. Sony please fix that, your users are paying a premium for gm... that shouldn't even be a thing.

Great quality Lens!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very sharp and fast lens! Needed to buy a lens that would be great for landscape and was going to take it for a trip, but now that will have to wait. But other than that the build feels nice and the weight is light for travel.

Amazing G lens.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Absolutely love this lens for video. I’ve used this on a few videos so far and it’s done wonders for my b roll. Super sharp and amazing autofocus. I know this isn’t a g master lens but you can tell slightly that it’s a G and not a g master. Sometimes there’s a slight green tint compared to my other G master lenses but nothing you can’t fix in post. Definitely recommend this to anyone who wants f1.8 for b roll. Photos it’s ok, I still lean towards the 35mm g master for photos.
