Sony 20/2.8 I review my favorite lens for the Sony a6000

[Batis]

I reviewed my favorite lens for the Sony a6000/a5100 cameras. The Sony 20mm f/2.8 APS-C E mount lens. I love this lens and would love to hear your experiences with this lens. https://youtu.be/bOB6vh4X20U

Does anyone else find it reeeeally annoying to

click on a promised review only to wind up with

a stoogetoob link ?

 

And no I'm not criticizing your video. I haven't

seen it, and never will.

Golem, I have no problem. Use Google Chrome and Adblock, maybe ? Hope that will work for you.

 

Regarding the review, well, I have to disagree, unfortunately. Yes, the 20 is compact, and somehow, that's the Nex philosophy, though even the 20 pancake doesn't make the A6000 pocketable. However, the IQ, when I had it, was on par with my 16-50, which was also quite compact. f2.8 wasn't enough for low-light photography, especially since it hadn't OSS. And the worst part is that it wasn't sharp enough to be a good landscape lens. Unfortunately, that's the most decent WA prime Sony has, though it's just decent, and expensive for what it is, IMO.

 

I'd rather have a Sony RX100 rather than this combo, if I were to shoot with only one lens. Now, if you have some other lenses with the A6000, I can understand the use of this lens, but again, the 16-50 at 20mm is not that worse stopped down, though I also remember I had much more fun using this prime over the 16-50, and it gave me some pics I was quite proud of.

Thaz not the complaint. I can access stoogetoob

if I need to. The complaint is that video reviews

are just annoying. A regular review on web pages

that I can skim, read, zip around in is convenient.

 

Video offers no high rez imagery, expects that

the viewer submit to the order and pace of the

video [yes, I know you can move the slider ... ]

and is generally nonliterate, often illiterate.

 

IOW, post what you've found out, in the most

concise and informative way. I don't care to be

an audience for your boring Home Movie. Most

of the gear videos I've bothered to attempt to

watch had no good reason for BEING videos.

And that includes those by "star" presenters.
