E 20mm F2.8 overview

The Sony E 20mm F2.8 is a 20mm f/2.8 prime for APS-C cameras on Sony E-mount, announced by Sony in January 2013. 11 cameras we track take it without an adapter.

Going by its spec sheet, it suits travel. It is a weaker pick for rain and dust as well as close-ups.

New, it sells for A$360.94 to A$429 at the 4 stores we track in Australia that have it in stock. Over the last 90 days it has usually cost A$378 to A$398 new.

Worth comparing it with the Viltrox AF 23mm F1.4, Tokina atx-m 23mm F1.4 and Sigma 16mm F1.4 DC DN | Contemporary.

An APS-C lens also mounts on full-frame bodies of the same mount, where it crops the frame; those aren't listed.
