The design of the new lens incorporates two AA (Advanced Aspherical) elements and three ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass elements to effectively suppress chromatic aberrations and ensure high image quality across the entire image range, even at the maximum aperture of F1.8. The lens offers outstanding close-up performance with a minimum focusing distance of 0.19 metres (maximum magnification: 0.2x) and delivers impressive bokeh. The compact design and versatile application possibilities of the new SEL-20F18G make it the perfect all-round lens for photographers and videographers. Thanks to its small size and low weight of just 373 grams, it is ideal for mobile use, especially in combination with a compact E-mount camera from Sony and the use of gimbals or accessory grips. In addition, the two XD (extremely dynamic) linear motors ensure fast, precise and quiet focussing for both photo and video recordings. The FE 20 millimetre F1.8 G lens is dust and moisture resistant and has a fluorine coating on the front element. It is equipped with an individually adjustable focus hold button and an aperture ring with on/off switch. It is also compatible with a wide range of 67 millimetre filters, which open up even more creative possibilities.
