20mm f2.8 FE, 20mm f/2.8 e-Mount Full Frame AF Lens for Sony e Mount, Prime Wide Angle Lens for Sony e Mount a7cr a7cii a7c a6700 zv-e100 a6600 a6400 a7iv a7iii

I couldn't be happier with this lens. I'm using it in a dedicated setup on a streaming camera (Sony A6400), with a teleprompter, and the lens is performing flawlessly. The image is clear and focus is quick, colors render very realistically, the front of the lens doesn't move when focus changes, so it works perfectly with the teleprompter, and vignetting is a non-issue. Don't hesitate to buy this lens. The price/value/performance ratio is excellent.

Upon the announcement and release, I purchased it as I was in the market for a Ultra Wide angle lenses. Do note this is Sony’s E-Mount and I am pairing this with my A7III and A7RV Shipping was definitely fast and the item arrived quickly to Singapore. The box that came with it was secured well with lots of foam and cut out to hold the lens snugly. Taped down to ensure it’s a brand new unit. The whole lens barrel is made of metal including the aperture ring and focus rings. The only non metal is the buttons and screen. Metal mount with a usb port for firmware updates and configuration. The screen is really useful for me as it shows the focus distance and liked the implementation, I am just curious that powering the screen will it consume more battery? What impressed me the most was the optical quality, great colours and sharpness corner to corner. I never has a lens under 500USD for this type of performance. It’s a screw on filter thread of 77mm. Oh thank for this as I do have lots of filters and on the cases of ultra wide prime is the bulbous front element. I never use it wide open as I am usually taking day time landscape/urbanscape sceneries. Though I can give it a shot for night city wide angle shots for having just a wide aperture of 1.8. For testing, the center image was really sharp even at the widest. Though stopping down really improves the vignette and colours and contrast start to stand out a lot more. This lens is able to handle the high 61mp resolution so don’t worry about it. I did lots of pixel peeping. The only slight let down is the lens hood and it does not snap tightly, and if you over exert a little more force, the hood might over run of its locking latch. This is the only negative, but only. Don’t let this hold you back but I am writing this so your expectations will be there. Viltrox produced an excellent lens and been my first purchase with this brand, I do hope their future releases are able to be of this quality. Having more options and choices is definitely great. They also threw their in-house branded ring light and their pocket friendly rechargeable mobile light which is really handy, this free gifts amount up to about 59 USD. So what a bundle on top of this fantastically priced lens.

Viltrox has come a long way with their "upscale/pro/lab" lenses. I bought this primarily for astrophotography (Milky Way) and landscapes, and have been pleasantly surprised and satisfied. Excellent feel and a quality build. Excellent results. Easy updates through a USB port on the lens. Unbeatable, especially considering the price! 99% of a Sony prime but a fraction of the cost.

For the value you’re definitely going to get the bang for your buck. Video quality is nice definitely gonna need a nd filter in certain situations. Very easy to install and use. The Autofocus is nice could be better. Very lightweight and compact. Works like a charm with my a7iii. This lens is a wide angle lens I filmed a concert with this lens and I was able to capture everything in the frame. Pictures are nice with this lens. Video sharpness could be better but im not complaining it’s still exceptionally great for the price. 4/5 this is basically my new go to lens in my camera bag. I would love to see a mark 2 of this lens along with others as well. Definitely will keep an eye on this brand they’re going places!!!

It's 20mm with very little distortion, surprisingly sharp across the whole image, and has great and quiet autofocus, (after a firmware update.) Flaring is controlled and I haven't even had to think about it most of the time when shooting. (I haven't needed the lens hood.) It's also very small and light, meaning it's easy to use for selfies and vlogs without arm fatigue. It's small and versatile enough that I just leave it on my camera and toss it in my bag. Another nice bonus is the close minimum focusing distance, allowing for a wide pseudo-macro feeling with nice background blur on full-frame. As for any cons: The aperture must be adjusted in-camera. In manual focus mode, the focus ring has no hard stop and can turn endlessly, and so has no markings, requiring you to look at your screen or viewfinder anytime you think you might've bumped the focus ring. All in all, it would be a solid value for this 20mm at $500, and still better than most in that range... but it's under $200, the price of a budget APS-C lens. Everything else I want to say just feels like hyperbole, but I think my feelings should be pretty clear by this point. Edit: Autofocus still gives me trouble here and there. Extreme changes in focus can be kind of loud and not as quick as other times.

It’s a superb lens for the price. Less than $200??? Crazy. It’s not perfect. AF is a bit wonky. But it’s super lightweight and has great picture quality. I bought this lens mostly for video and landscape photos and general all rounder since it’s so light. I have a SONY 24-70 GM lens that I use as my main - heavy and bulky but great quality, and this 20mm is perfect addition.

Autofocus works pretty fast. Good value lens f2.8 might be enough for most people but f1.4 or f1.8 would be a lot nicer. I think they have a newer version thats better than this one

The build is good, portable, image quality is good,pretty sharp image, nice starter lense
