This series from f/1.8 through f/11 evaluates the Sony FE 20mm f/1.8 G on a near-far distance scene and looks at total sharpness near to far and edge to edge as well as lens skew.

Shot in pixel shift mode, it shows the best possible quality achievable with the Sony 20/1.8G.

Includes images up to full camera resolution.

The about $898 Sony FE 20mm f/1.8 G looks to be a tremendous value. The one I ordered for myself arrives today (something I do only when a lens is among the very best), and I am hoping for good luck in receiving a sample free of the lens skew of this sample used here.
