This has been my most used lens for the last couple years! I keep buying other lenses, but I always come back to my 20mm. Something about it.

[@cameraprepper7938]

I like to have the very best performing Lenses, but although the SONY 20mm 1.8 G performs excellent, I prefer more compact Lenses ! So I have the excellent ZEISS Loxia Distagon 21mm 2.8 T* which I highly can recommend !

Great video Danny. I’m actually awaiting my 20mm 1.8 which should arrive tomorrow. Found an Open Box for $700. I have the 35mm 1.4 GM as well and love it but thought this 20mm would be the perfect companion for it. I only shoot photos so I don’t think I’ll have the small issues you’ve had during video. Cheers mate

I'm curious if you've considered the viltrox 16mm, which is significantly less and just as tack sharp

[@DannyBligh]

I actually have one! It’s sharp, but it’s bigger, heavier and the focus motors aren’t as quick as i would like. For the size, i’d may as well carry my 16-35 🤷🏻‍♂️ However, still a great lens! Just wouldn’t be my first choice

[@g_lantos]

Also really good for Astro, but let's just say that with Sony's breathing compensation and active stabilization turned on this is actually a 24mm video lens. When it comes to Primes I think the 20 1.8 / 35 1.4 / 85 1.8 trio is the best bang for the buck.

[@2ofusjust]

I bought this lens when I shattered my 24-70 GM. Since then I got the 35mm 1.8 and 85mm 1.8…. So much better IMO than zooms.

[@DannyBligh]

Yup, i have done pretty much the same thing, never been so happy 😀

[@kristophervilla]

It's really good! Im actually selling mine now though, wanting something a bit more wide than my 24-70

[@user-rx8wc2id9u]

huh? Why sell the 20mm then? Or am i confusing something?

[@kristophervilla]

@@user-rx8wc2id9u I have a 24-70 and realized 20 is too close of a focal length. Viltrox recently made a 16mm f 1.8 I love way more

[@jameelsocorro]

Which would you choose for street photography & videography. 35mm f1.8 or 20mm f1.8?

[@DannyBligh]

I’d be more comfortable on a 35mm, but that’s just me 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@Scott_Lawless]

OK, question for you. I'm strictly using the 35-150mm for weddings (mostly video, some photo) on the A7rV. Been considering a wider option as I used one recently and with the crop at 4k60 it was nice in situations. Been going back and forth between this lens and the Tamron 20-40mm......what would you choose?

[@DannyBligh]

This, 100%. I have a 16-35 as i say in this video and i swapped it out. This is sharp, fast, and wider in aperture to help with the lighting situation. The 20-40 seems nice (however never used it) but i won’t be swapping this out anytime soon

[@mrblacktino]

Curious if the 16-25 2.8 would make you change your mind. I’m currently debating between it and the 20mm

[@DannyBligh]

I can’t really comment, possibly, possibly not 🤷🏻‍♂️ if you need a zoom then go for it, if you want the low light and stick to a lower budget, this is the way to go

[@FredPrana]

The 20mm f1.8 is my most used lens… 😁

[@DannyBligh]

Glad to hear it!!! I got another 2 lenses since making this… one of which doesn’t fit in my bag and maybe has taken the title of most used lens 😂 Hi, my names Danny and I have a problem with buying things
