Lens Description: The Sony SEL20F28 20mm wide-angle lens (35mm equivalent = 30mm) is well-suited for a broad range of subjects, including landscapes, interiors and casual snapshots. This new-generation pancake lens is the perfect match for your Alpha NEX camera—it's compact and lightweight, thus making it easy to pack and carry, yet it delivers exceptional performance. A new optical design featuring three aspherical lens elements reduces distortion and aberrations around the image periphery, while the entire image area exhibits improved resolution and contrast. Not only does this lens deliver outstanding image quality, it features a pleasing, sophisticated design thanks to its slim aluminum alloy barrel, laser engraving and elegantly shaped control ring.
