The Sony 20mm f/2.8 lens is a small and lightweight lens suitable for everyday shooting. It has a solid build quality, made of metal and feels nice and solid. The manual focus ring turns smoothly and the motor works silently. The lens offers good image quality in the middle, with razor-sharpness and good contrast.
