OL: Sony E PZ 10-20mm F4.0 G OSS – A Versatile And High-Performing Lens

By Louis Ferreira | Published: November 2, 2024


Sony E PZ 10-20mm F4.0 G OSS:
B&H Photo / Amazon / Adorama

Optical Limits published its full review of the Sony E PZ 10-20mm F4.0 G OSS which you can read in full here or check out the summary below:

In terms of optical performance, the lens exhibits significant barrel distortion at 10mm in RAW images, which diminishes as the focal length increases. Vignetting is noticeable at wider apertures but improves upon stopping down. The lens delivers excellent center sharpness across the zoom range, with very good to excellent performance in the outer image field. Lateral chromatic aberrations are minimal, and the lens handles flare well. While the bokeh quality is generally smooth, out-of-focus highlights can appear slightly busy due to the use of aspherical elements.

Overall, the Sony E 10-20mm f/4 PZ G is a versatile and high-performing lens, especially suited for video applications, though photographers should be mindful of its distortion and vignetting characteristics.
