Today Sony announced the newest edition to the Alpha E-Mount Lens line up - the FE 20mm f/1.8 G. This is the widest prime lens Sony have made for full frame and it is the 34th lens in the lineup.

Sharing many characteristics both in the physical and optical design to the Sony 24mm f/1.4 G Master - the 20mm is extremely versatile and competitively priced.

The 20mm f/1.8 features 2 aspherical elements and 3 ED elements. It is an ultra-wide lens with a large aperture designed to give outstanding quality and at the same time be compact and lightweight. Sony also built this with their XD Linear AF system. Having a rail focus system gives you a lens that is fast, accurate and quiet enough for video application. With Sony cameras such as the A9, autofocus is adjusted up to 50 times per second.
