Sony E PZ 10-20mm F4 G
Sony E PZ 10-20mm F4 G
The small ultra-wide-angle Sony E PZ 10-20mm F4 G fixed aperture F4 motorised zoom lens offers excellent mobility and superior image quality for shooting and filming. Smooth Motorized Zoom provides full control over speed and composition and allows you to better emphasize ultra-wide visual perspectives. Thanks to the internal zoom and focus, the length of the lens does not change when zooming or focusing, offering a stable centre of gravity that is ideal for vlogging and shooting video using a gimbal. The Sony E PZ 10-20mm F4 G lens is designed for digital mirrorless cameras with Sony E mount and APS-C sensor (15-30mm focal length equivalent), offering autofocus, 62mm filter thread, dust and moisture resistance and a light weight of just 178g.

Dynamic perspectives and shots
With a focal length of 10mm (equivalent to 35mm Full-Frame format: 15mm) at the wide-angle end of the zoom range, a wide angle of view is available to capture large scenes or reveal details of small scenes. The Sony E PZ 10-20mm F4 G lens can also capture dynamic images using a unique perspective, separating objects from the background and emphasizing distance or speed in video. Three aspherical elements effectively suppress field curvature and astigmatism, which can be problematic with wide-angle lenses, while one aspherical ED element (with extra-low dispersion) helps ensure high image resolution throughout the zoom range from 10 to 20mm (equivalent to 35mm Full-Frame format: 15 to 30 mm).
Sensitive motorized zoom system, precise optics with minimal aberration
The electronic motorized zoom system instantly converts the manipulation of the zoom control ring into movement of the zoom system, ensuring that the creative intent is faithfully captured. Exact changes in the angle of view can be easily achieved and then reproduced as needed, which can be used as an additional element for visual expression.The remarkably compact Sony E PZ 10-20mm F4 G lens incorporates one aspherical ED element (with extra-low dispersion) and two glass ED elements to suppress chromatic aberration throughout the image area and achieve natural colours and high contrast without colour fringing.
Excellent close-up performance and smooth operation thanks to motorised zoom
The use of aspherical elements in the advanced optical design also makes for excellent close-up performance across the zoom range of the lens. The minimum autofocusing distance is 0.2 metres at a maximum magnification of 0.14×, while the minimum focusing distance for manual focusing is 0.13 to 0.17 metres at a maximum magnification of 0.18×. In addition to the controls built into the Sony E PZ 10-20mm F4 G lens, the zoom can also be controlled using buttons and adjustable function controls on compatible camera bodies, accessory grips or remotes. It therefore enables practical and versatile control in a wide range of situations. The zoom lever with infinitely variable zoom speed makes it easy to zoom extremely slowly at a constant speed and perform other operations that are difficult with manual zooming. Motorized zoom minimizes camera shake that can occur when using the zoom ring, so even lone filmmakers can shoot smooth, steady footage.
Stable design and smooth manual focus ideal for video and vlogging
The internal zoom and focusing mechanism ensures that the length of the Sony E PZ 10-20mm F4 G does not change during zooming or focusing. There is minimal change in the center of gravity of the lens, so it is a great choice for stable vlogging and video shooting using a gimbal. Manual focusing with linear response ensures that the focus ring responds directly and linearly to small changes in settings during manual focusing. The rotation of the focus ring is directly reflected by the corresponding change in focus, so that control during video shooting is instantaneous and precise enough for the focus effect during the shot.
Precise and fast focusing with intuitive controls for both stills and video
The focus mode switch located directly on the Sony E PZ 10-20mm F4 G lens allows you to continuously switch between auto and manual focus to adapt to changing shooting conditions. To ensure easy access and convenient operation when shooting in any situation, the lens is equipped with a customisable focus lock button. The focus lock button in the body menu can be assigned other functions.
Designed for sophisticated shooting
The Sony E PZ 10-20mm F4 G's advanced technologies reduce focus shift when zooming and axis shift when zooming to easily capture high-quality images. The lens on compatible α-series bodies also supports compensation for unwanted changes in angle of view based on focal length, further reducing unwanted shifts in angle of view during focusing and allowing you to shoot smooth, high-quality video. The dust- and moisture-resistant design ensures exceptional reliability when shooting in harsh outdoor conditions.

| Manufacturer information |
Sony Corporation is a Japanese company founded in 1946. Its headquarters is located in Tokyo. Its beginnings were humble. The first product sold under the Sony brand was a transistor radio. It was those radios that played a pivotal role in the company's expansion in the 1960s and the world quickly began to associate Sony products with a reliably stellar price-performance ratio. In the 1970s, Sony was severely affected by the global economic crisis. Many analysts considered the company effectively defunct and could see no future for it. However, they underestimated the famous Japanese perseverance and courage. The crisis was not a disaster for Sony; on the contrary, it served as a launching pad to even greater heights. The company recovered and soon changed the media landscape with the development of the CD and later the DVD. In the early 1990s, Sony achieved another major success with the introduction of the PlayStation gaming console. It is the gaming consoles that best represent the intersection of the three key areas in which the company operates today – electronics, video games, and the entertainment industry.
