BestBuy is selling the 20mm lens for $159 or thereabouts. It's crazy! I couldn't resist and got mine. Word on DPR is that you have to go to your local store and if they don't have one in stock they should be able to order it. I wonder if they are clearing stock? Some were speculating that perhaps there was a replacement.
At any rate, it seems like a good lens. It seems reminiscent of the 16mm, but without the weird extreme corner softness, etc. I look forward to giving it a try.
Sale on SEL20F28
Re: Sale on SEL20F28
It doesn't seem like this lens has gotten favorable reviews, but in my tests, I find it better than the kit lenses, particularly at wider apertures and towards the edges, as you'd expect. Seems worth using to me, even if it's not the CZ 24.

Re: Sale on SEL20F28
Congrats on the new lens, Vidgamer. There is also the Sigma 19mm to consider in this range so we are spoilt for wide primes . At that price it would be a must buy, I agree.
Nex 5, Nex 6 (IR), A7M2, A99 and a bunch of lenses.
Re: Sale on SEL20F28
Yep, a lot of people have gotten the Sigma 19, which normally is much cheaper. In this case, the Sony was a better deal, but I'd lean towards the Sony anyway just because of the compact size, which might be nice to have at some time.Birma wrote:Congrats on the new lens, Vidgamer.

(I also have the Sigma 30, which is smaller than the 19.)
