Sony E 10-20mm f4 G PZ Lens

Expanded Sony E PZ 10-20mm F4 G APS-C Powerzoom Lens Key Features:

Premium Optical Design

The Sony E PZ 10-20mm F4 G APS-C Powerzoom Lens boasts a premium optical design with 11 elements in 8 groups. This includes 2 Extra-Low dispersion elements, 1 Extra-Low dispersion aspherical element and 3 aspherical elements designed for outstanding resolution. In actively tackling colour fringing and chromatic aberrations, the 2 Extra-Low Dispersion elements help users achieve corner-to-corner sharpness and greater colour accuracy, whilst the 3 aspherical elements work in tandem to reduce field curvature and spherical distortions.

Highlight Your Subject

Equipped with a 7-blade aperture diaphragm and a constant f4 aperture, this Sony 10-20mm Powerzoom lens creates beautifully circular background bokeh with a defocussing effect that highlights your subject. Whilst this is the perfect combination for portraiture with a shallow depth of field, these features also afford incredibly professional-looking selfies for social media influencers, content creators and vloggers alike. And, with 2 Linear Motors delivering fast and accurate focusing, users won't have to worry about missing an all-important shot.

Versatile Zoom Functions

As one of Sony’s notorious Powerzoom lenses, the E PZ 10-20mm uses an STM motor to control zoom and can be actuated by the camera, without the need to physically rotate the lens to zoom in or out. Whilst this offers smoother zooming for video, you can also opt for manual adjustments using the in-built zoom lever. This lens also benefits from an internal zoom, meaning all adjustments occur inside the lens, keeping things compact and optimising balance. As the E PZ 10-20mm supports Zoom Rotation Reversing, you can also customise the direction of your zoom to get creative.

Built for The Future

To ensure this 10-20mm lens is in for the long haul, Sony has included several forms of proofing. Whether you’re documenting your trip to an e-sports pro league event or vlogging your holiday abroad, the Sony E PZ 10-20mm Lens uses a dust and moisture resistant design to keep your gear safe. Fumbling around is also a thing of the past with included versatile controls for easier use both indoors and outdoors. And, as a genuine Sony lens, you can be sure to take full advantage of all your next Sony camera’s features.

Our Review

Why we love the Sony E 10-20mm f4 G PZ Lens:

• Yet another super-compact Sony E lens for APS-C, the lens makes it easy for filmmakers and photographers on the move or who want quality on a B-camera without compromising a lightweight kit bag.
• The power zoom is impressively smooth and makes life easy for capturing film. Not only this, the two linear motors make for highly responsive and reliable AF performance.

Use this lens for:

• The super-wide field of view lends itself to vlogging and gimbal work. There’s loads of room in the frame to be able to accurately compose your shots.
• Obviously, vlogging is a key takeaway from this lens but the wide angle of view also works well for landscapes and architectural work. Moreover, with its short minimum focusing distance, you can play with depth of field - which can be great when recording footage with models.

Look and feel:

• It’s tiny. Weighing only 178g and measuring 55mm in length, it takes up next to no room in your kit bag.
• The zoom function all happens internally so there’s no real balance change when used on Sony’s APS-C mirrorless cameras.

Is it better?

• While there are no direct comparisons, there are two other native Sony E lenses with power zoom - both designed for full-frame, professional video capture. But comparatively speaking, this lens (while specifically designed for Sony crop sensors) offers an impressive level of image quality, overall performance and usability.
