Comme vous pouvez le voir, cet objectif a été acheté pour un boitier Sony A7c, que je considère comme le meilleur boitier plein format pour le voyage, car le plus compact et le plus léger (500g).Quand on veut voyager léger, il faut tenir compte du poids des objectifs, celui-ci ne pèse que 373g, et de l’adaptation aux sujets à photographier. Le 20mm est pour moi le meilleur compromis entre l’angle de prise de vue et le poids de l’objectif. Bien sûr, il existe des zooms qui descendent jusqu’à 12mm mais ceux-ci sont lourds alors qu’il suffit au photographe de faire un panoramique pour agrandir l’angle de vue (et augmenter ainsi la définition de l’image).Cet objectif a obtenu le prix EISA du meilleur grand-angle pour 2020 et 2021.J’ai joint l’image de la structure de l’objectif et de la mesure du contraste des détails de l’image.La structure de cet objectif est très élaborée avec 2 lentilles asphériques et 2 lentilles en verre à faible dispersion.Le boitier A7c (24Mpixels) ne peut voir le manque de résolution ou des aberrations chromatiques même à pleine ouverture, il faudrait aller vers des boitiers de plus de 50Mpixels pour s’en apercevoir. Sur ce plan, c’est parfait.La distorsion est une des plus faibles que j’ai vu sur un objectif de cette focale. Vous pouvez vous en rendre compte quand vous utilisez Imaging Edge en sélectionnant ou non le contrôle de la distorsion.La seule faiblesse de cet objectif est dans son vignetage un peu plus marqué que la moyenne et qui va se voir à pleine ouverture quand vous prenez des photos avec une faible lumière. La correction du vignetage va faire monter le bruit, surtout si vous avez laissé monter les ISO vers 10.000.Pour ne pas vous laisser prendre par cette faiblesse, il faut utiliser deux qualités ; celle du boitier et son excellent stabilisateur et le fait qu’avec un grand-angle on peut utiliser des vitesses très lentes sans avoir de bougé dans l’image.Les images jointes montre la photo de mon chat prise à la main au 1/4 sec. Le détail de l’image montre la netteté obtenue malgré la vitesse lente utilisée.La cerise sur le gâteau est dans le remboursement de 100 fait par Sony pour l’achat d’un objectif.

Great lens

The lens is compact, but dont let the size fool you. It may be a G lens but it performs by a GM lens, and punches well above its weight. Its unbelievably sharp, the color rendition is great, flaring is well controlled and it produces some very pleasing sun bursts. Chromatic aberrations are simply non existent in all my testing, and it renders backlit subjects beautifully.Im primarily using it for landscape and Astro and it doesnt disappoint in either scene. The lens is an Astrophotographers dream if you dont mind the fixed aperture.Ive been using it for 2 months and this prime is fixed to my camera most of the time.Ive found nothing so far that I dislike about the lens, its near optically perfect.

Sharp at f/1.8. There’s a little bit of coma at the edges but you have to pixel peep hard to see it.I don’t like the distortion of anything shorter than 20mm and 24mm is just a bit too wide. This lens, especially when it is corrected in post in LR.Landscape, astrophotography, long exposure, it does it all. The colors are vibrant. The contrast is pleasing. Just get it. If you don’t get phenomenal results with this thing it’s you not the lens.Tested on the Sony A7iii and A7riii. Yes, it resolves beautifully on both. The bridges were shot with the A7iii and the sunrise and Milky Way were shot with the A7riii.

Incredible sharpness! I love it. The only downside is the price.

If you’re looking for a fast wide angle prime for Sony FE and are on a budget, look no more.I’m very happy with this lens.It’s small and lightweight. It feels solidly built.Optics are as perfect as they can be in this year of 2020.Zero chromatic aberration on my a7iii using Capture One Pro 12.Shooting stars I can see a TINY bit of CA, but not enough to bother me one iota.Auto focus is fast and accurate, basically perfect for both still and video on my a7iii.Focus transitions are smooth and little focus breathing.I used to use, and still do somewhat, modified Nikkor primes on canon cameras and got used to having an aperture dial. It’s really nice to have. I’ve accidentally bumped it from 1.8 to 2 or 2.5 in my lens pouch, and that’s messed up a shot or two, but it’s a quick fix if you’re paying attention and you can always put it on A and control via camera. When it’s on A it’s locked in place and isn’t going anywhere. For me I like it.The hype for this lens is real. Sony knocked it out of the park imo.I was looking to get a wide angle prime but didn’t want to dish out the money for the 24 1.4 GM.I’m very pleased with my 20mm. 10/10 Thanks Sony.

I was hesitant on the price of this lens.For much less I could get a slightly slower lens from other manufacturers but I chose to bite the bullet and go for the best quality.I am very happy with this decision. The fast lens f 1.8 lens is a great fit for me because I shoot so many pictures in the dark and low light environments. The picture quality is superb wide open and definitely sharp enough for the pictures that I take.FOCUSING: This new method of focus driving is far superior to anything else that I have tried.Nothing that I have beats it in speed, accuracy and volume.That’s right, volume. This lens is nearly silent which is a huge plus for hybrid photo/video shooters.With that there are negatives:This lens is physically larger than my other wide angle lenses (28mm f 2.,8) but that is due to the amount of high quality fast glass in this lens. It is totally worth the weight to me, but if you are hiking around with it and don’t need the maximum aperture of f 1.8 I’d go with a lightweight compact lens.I’ve had my concerns with the lens being damaged while it is powered off. You can feel the assemblies moving around under their own weight inside the lens. I am slightly worried about a large impact causing damage to the lens. I have not heard any other people reporting this as an issue, so I assume I am just worrying for no reason.Conclusion: I’d buy this lens again if I had to. This is by far my favorite wide angle lens that I have tried yet.I’d go for it over the 24mm GM if you’re deciding between the two, the differences are almost meaningless when not compared back to back.
