Sony shooters have their fair share of choices for wide angle lens options on both full frame and APS-C cameras. But many wide angle lenses can often be big, heavy, and come at a significant cost. So if you're looking for an affordable wide angle lens with autofocus in the Sony E-mount system, what's among the better - if not the best - option out there for Sony shooters?
In this video, I'll cover my review of the Viltrox AF 20mm f/2.8 FE lens for Sony, discussing all of the lens' many specifications and features. I'll also evaluate the lens on several characteristics - from sharpness, to bokeh, its autofocus performance, and more. But to take this a step further, I'll also provide numerous real-world samples taken with the lens and cameras like my Sony a7R V and the a7S III.
Yet since this lens most closely resembles the popular Sony 20mm f/1.8 G, I'll also provide a quick comparison - both in terms of specs and features, and actual image samples - between the two to evaluate their overall set of pros and cons. Last, I'll discuss price, and offer my final thoughts on the lens. Without a doubt, you really get a solid bang for your buck with the Viltrox 20mm f2.8, and this value combined with its excellent performance make it a hard option to ignore.
