Sony NEX E 20mm f/2.8 Pancake Lens Review

Sony E 20mm f/2.8 Pancake Handling and features

High quality black plastics with a glossy finish have been used for much of the lens barrel construction and the lens mount is metal. As you may expect for such a compact optic, it is very lightweight, tipping the scales at 69g.



Auto focus is pretty fast but occasionally it can struggle to focus accurately, especially at close distances. Applying manual focus adjustments is a pleasure thanks to the narrow, but well damped manual focus ring. Minimum focus is 20cm from the sensor plane, which is perfect for shooting in claustrophobic environments, or for the occasional close up image.



As focusing is performed internally, the 49mm filter ring does not rotate, which makes the lens ideal for use with graduated and polarising filters.
