Sony Sony E-Mount>E 10-20mm f/4 PZ G Lens

Lightweight, Ultra-Wide, Power Zoom

The Sony E 10-20mm f/4 PZ G is a lightweight and adaptable ultra-wide-angle APS-C zoom lens designed with hybrid shooters in mind. It’s great for vlogging and video creation. This compact go-to lens excels in daily shooting applications with Power Zoom, intuitive handling, and sophisticated optics, and the enhanced autofocus performance also brings it up to speed for spectacular video production capabilities.

Optimized for Video and Vlogging

Built with vlogging in mind, this lens’s key attributes relate to video recording performance, ease of use, and a highly versatile design:

Electronically controlled internal Power Zoom mechanism enables making smooth zooms during takes, with control possible via the lens body, using either the zoom lever or the zoom ring, or from select camera bodies.

Internal zoom and internal focus design maintain the overall lens length during operation and also help to reduce any shifts to the lens’s centre of gravity for better performance when mounted to a handheld gimbal.

The Linear AF system is especially quiet and smooth and also supports Linear Response MF for natural manual focusing control.

Smooth Motion Optics (SMO) suppresses focus breathing to help maintain compositional accuracy when changing focus. This lens is also compatible with the Breathing Compensation function in select Alpha cameras.

G Series Optics

Ultra-wide-angle zoom offers a versatile 15-30mm equivalent focal length range, striking an ideal balance between being wide enough for handheld, selfie-style vlogging and narrow enough for natural, everyday recording. Also, the constant f/4 maximum aperture offers consistency throughout the zoom range and marries brightness with a compact design.

Three aspherical elements help achieve high sharpness and suppress distortion and spherical aberrations.

Two ED elements promote greater clarity and colour accuracy by reducing chromatic aberrations.

One ED Aspherical element further contributes to impressive image quality by correcting for a variety of aberrations.

The circular diaphragm contributes a smooth and natural bokeh quality.

Refined Focusing Performance

The Linear Motor system uses two separate motors to provide quick, quiet, and precise autofocus and tracking performance. This design also contributes to a more natural, intuitive Linear Response manual focus control and an AF/MF switch is located on the lens barrel for quick focus mode switching.

The internal focusing design offers more responsive focusing performance and maintains a consistent overall lens length during operation.

Suitable for close-up shooting, the minimum focusing distance at the 10mm position is 12.95mm and, at the 20mm position, is 17.01mm with a 0.18x maximum magnification; both of these close-up distances are only possible with manual focus. When using autofocus, the minimum focusing distance is 20.06mm with a 0.14x maximum magnification.

Lightweight Design, Intuitive Handling

This 10-20mm f/4 prioritizes compactness and sports a lightweight design while still managing impressive optical performance and notable f/4 constant maximum aperture. The lens is also weather-sealed and has an intuitive design for easy operability, making it a versatile wide-angle go-to lens for hybrid shooters and content creators.

Impressively lightweight design weighs 0.178kg and the sleek design measures 5.5cm long; making this lens ideal for everyday handheld use and travel applications.

Dust- and moisture-resistant design suits working in inclement conditions.

Both an integrated Power Zoom lever on the lens barrel and a dedicated zoom ring can be used for simple focal length adjustment. When used on select Sony cameras, Power Zoom can also be used via on-camera controls.

With select Alpha cameras, the zoom ring rotation direction can also be adjusted.

Remote zoom control is also possible via the optional GP-VPT2BT Wireless Shooting Grip or from a linked smartphone.
