Small & Light for Everyday Use
SEL20F28//Q AE 01 November 2020 by Panda Zec (Singapore) Verified Purchaser Verified
This is purely a simple everyday use lens. f/2.8 is not enough for low light if you want clean images. In reality, when mounted onto an APS-C camera without IBIS, the minimum shutter has to be set to 2x the effective focal length in order to curb any form of camera shake. Pixel density in APS-C sensors is hugely densed, making a 24MP sensor to be almost 57MP in FX sense. Need fast shutter speeds to curb any micro movements causing blur images. Lens has serious abberation on very very bright surfaces too.

Solid performance, ring can’t customise
SEL20F28//Q AE 06 April 2022 by Keimiu (Singapore) Verified Purchaser Verified
Other people have said enough good things about this lens so I’ll just leave it to the stars to say it’s a decent lens to have. My only gripe is that the ring can only be used to focus, no options for customising at all. I would love to use it for adjusting aperture, and given everything is electronic I don’t see why it can’t be done. I got it at a massive discount so I’m fine. At original price I would’ve been more disappointed.

Great value little lens
SEL20F28 14 October 2021 by Boblet17 (United Kingdom)
I bought this one new, as it is so cheap! It's well made for the money, and makes my a6400 into a 35mm equivalent high-end compact. I haven't used it very much, but the quality of the images is very good and it is very light and small.

Fantastic vlogging lens
SEL20F28 14 October 2021 by SpeedTorque (United Kingdom)
This lens now permanently resides on my a5100 used as a webcam through a capture card. A very expensive webcam but the picture quality is worth it. Clients often mention the quality and clarity of the image so it is clearly well received.

Nifty little lens
SEL20F28//Q AE 02 December 2020 by Ash176 (Singapore) Verified Purchaser Verified
Been shooting with this lens. Although it may not be very sharp wide open, it's portability and campactness makes it easy to carry it as a walk around lens.

Small and sharp on center.

Small, well built with very sharp results. A great match for the a6000.

Very portable
SEL20F28 16 October 2016 by bootiboi (USA) Verified Purchaser Verified
This isn't the sharpest lens, but it is still pretty very sharp in the center and gets a little soft in the corners. But it is so portable. It feels like a point and shoot with the a6000.

SEL20F28//Q AE 24 April 2016 by thesiang (Malaysia) Verified Purchaser Verified
Ultra-slim, lightweight and good design pancake. Pretty much like my lens cover, always stick on my camera. A better choice than SELP1650 kit lens.

Excellent little lens
SEL20F28 03 February 2016 by IanD04 (United Kingdom) Verified Purchaser Verified
Bought this to use with an A6000 to take photos indoors over the Xmas period. It worked a treat and I got some great shots. As the combo was so small I popped in my coat pocket and took it out walking where it proved great for some lovely landscape shots. Overall really pleased with the lens, a perfect match to the A6000.

Great all round lens
SEL20F28 11 September 2015 by Cast a giant shadow (United Kingdom) Verified Purchaser Verified
I've had the lens for a few months now and it really complements my A6000. The lens is quite small so, when attached to my A6000 I can fit it into a coat pocket. The quality of the images it produces are very good and exceptional for the price. I read a number of positive reviews of other makes of camera's with non-interchangeable lenses, especially for Street Photography. They claim that the fixed lens, often around 23mm, and camera deliver great results. However, the A6000 plus the E 20mm F2.8 delivers far greater performance, great image quality and, in a lot of cases, for less money - plus I can change the lens if I wish. It's a great lens and, with the A6000, a great photography package.

A good lens for the value
SEL20F28 26 January 2014 by ImageQueen (USA)
I have been using this wide angle lens since July 2013 and it has become my go to lens for landscapes and portraits. Basically, I use it for all kinds of photo taking. The lens produces great photos in natural light. My photos are sharp and vibrant. I've attached an unedited photo.
A good general wide angle lens
SEL20F28 11 September 2013 by Ramjet (USA)
After reading the mediocre reviews for the SEL16F28, I ended up trying this lens (SEL20F28). The lens has proved to be very handy, and I am generally happy with the photos. The photos are sharp, but low light scenes may be a little dark with some vignetting. Two jpeg photos are uploaded for review. There was no post processing except for cropping both pictures to reduce them to the 5mb limit for this review.
