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.
No store we track in Europe has it new in stock today; used and refurbished copies start at €245.50.
Worth comparing it with the Viltrox AF 23mm F1.4, Tokina atx-m 23mm F1.4 and Sigma 16mm F1.4 DC DN | Contemporary.
