Sony FE20-70mm f/4G lens Review by Sony Artisan Patrick Murphy-Racey

The New Sony FE20-70mm f/4G lens is a focal range never seen before by any company. Sony says it's a “new standard zoom that covers the ultra-wide range.“ It weighs slightly over one pound, is just 4” long, and costs $1099. That it has a filter size of only 72mm instead of 77mm is amazing. It is a sealed lens against dust and moisture and has the same dual XD Linear AF motors found in the 50mm f/, 70-200mm f/, 400GM and 600GM lenses. While only a 4mm difference, at 20mm, it offers 10 more degrees in terms of field of view than a 24mm lens. With its reduced focus breathing and reduced focus shift while zooming, the new 20-70G will find its way onto the front of many a7SII and A7SIII bodies, as well as onto the FX3, FX6, and FX9 video cameras. As I’v e had a chance to shoot the lens for the last week, please post any questions you might have about it below.
