Tiny fixed lens in the pancake form factor, with a body size of only 20 mm in length. In the "inside" of the model, it was possible to place an optical scheme of 6 elements in 6 groups. The Sony 20mm f/2.8 E is designed for mirrorless cameras with an APS-C image sensor. On the "carcass" of the corresponding camera, the lens provides coverage of a focal length of 30 mm. Its aperture is f/2.8.

A compact “pancake” minimally weighs down the weight of a set of photographic equipment - by about 69 g. Moreover, the model has a built-in automatic focusing system with an autofocus distance of 20 cm. The aperture of a fixed lens is 7-bladed. In the passport characteristics of the model, compatibility with filters with a diameter of 49 mm is claimed. Of the controls in the pancake assets, there is only a manual focus ring located near the front frame. The lens is perfect for both photo and video shooting on cropped Sony mirrorless cameras.

Model overview based on user reviews  
The Sony 20mm f/2.8 E lens is praised for its compact size, making it an ideal companion for the Sony a6400, as it can easily fit into a jacket pocket. Users appreciate its excellent sharpness and find it to be a good value for the price, especially for beginner videographers using the Sony system. Compared to alternatives like the Sigma 19mm f/2.8, this lens is noted for being smaller, faster, and sharper. A notable example of its capability is a popular video shot with this lens on Vimeo, titled "Portrait of India." Overall, it is highly recommended as a first choice for video on Sony crop cameras, with no significant drawbacks at its price point.

Your first choice for video on Sony crop cameras

There is simply nothing more compact. In combination with the a6400 it fits into a jacket pocket. Excellent sharpness. Good price. The best choice for a beginner video maker in the Sony system. You can get a 19mm2.8 sigma a little cheaper, but it is larger, slower and not as sharp. A very popular video on Vimeo was shot with this lens (+a5100): portrait of India. I highly recommend it, it’s immediately clear what level to expect.
They don’t exist and can’t exist for a reasonable price tag.
