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

Sony E 10-20mm f/4 PZ G Lens
The Sony E 10-20mm f/4 PZ G is a state-of-the-art, ultra-wide-angle Power Zoom lens custom-built for APS-C format E-mount mirrorless cameras. Delivering a versatile 15-30mm full-frame equivalent focal range, this G-Series optic is specifically engineered for modern hybrid shooters, travel vloggers, and content creators. It masterfully marries an ultra-lightweight, compact form factor with advanced internal mechanics, making it the definitive wide-angle choice for handheld selfies, expansive landscapes, architectural walk-throughs, and seamless gimbal-stabilized videography.

Optimized for Vlogging & Gimbal Production
Electronic Internal Power Zoom (PZ): Outfitted with an electronically controlled Power Zoom mechanism that ensures glass fluidly transitions across the focal spectrum during active recording. Zoom speeds can be adjusted smoothly using the integrated lens toggle lever, the dedicated physical zoom ring, or via compatible Sony camera bodies and wireless accessories.

Constant Center of Gravity: Features both an internal zoom and internal focus architecture. Because the physical length of the lens barrel never changes during operation, its center of gravity remains completely fixed—making it exceptionally easy to balance on 3-axis handheld gimbals and drones.

Smooth Motion Optics (SMO): Engineered to suppress focus breathing, keeping your composition rock-steady and frame margins intact when shifting focus between foreground and background targets. It is also fully compatible with the internal Breathing Compensation function found in select Alpha camera bodies.

G Series Performance & Constant f/4 Aperture
Constant f/4 Maximum Aperture: The f/4 exposure threshold remains completely fixed across the entire 10-20mm range. This provides uniform lighting continuity as you zoom, eliminating the need to adjust your shutter speed or ISO mid-take.

Advanced Optical Array: The internal glass matrix integrates three aspherical elements, two ED (Extra-Low Dispersion) elements, and one ED Aspherical element. This premium configuration aggressively corrects for geometric distortions, spherical aberrations, and color fringing, delivering biting corner-to-corner sharpness.

Circular Diaphragm: Incorporates a rounded diaphragm layout to produce a smooth, natural-looking background blur (bokeh) with an organic falloff profile.

Dual Linear Motor AF & Macro Capabilities
Dual Linear Motor Drive System: Driven by two independent high-torque linear motors to deliver instantaneous, dead-accurate, and near-silent autofocus tracking. This whisper-quiet tracking is essential for keeping clean, ambient audio tracks free of mechanical focus noise.

Linear Response Manual Focus: Offers highly tactile and intuitive manual focus controls with a predictable, linear feedback rotation. A physical AF/MF switch on the lens barrel allows for instantaneous focusing mode overrides.

Exceptional Close-Up Latitude:

Manual Focus Mode: Achieves a minimum focusing distance of just 5.1 inches at the 10mm wide position (and 6.7 inches at 20mm) with a 0.18x maximum magnification ratio, perfect for dramatic close-ups.

Autofocus Mode: Maintains an agile minimum focus distance of 7.9 inches across the zoom range.

Ultra-Lightweight & Weather-Sealed Handling
Featherweight Form Factor: Weighing a mere 6.3 ounces and measuring just 2.2 inches in length, this lens offers an incredibly low-profile footprint that minimizes wrist fatigue during all-day handheld shooting.

Dust & Moisture Resistant Gasketing: Built with comprehensive weather-resistant sealing around the chassis to safeguard internal electronics and camera connections when filming out in inclement field conditions.

Expandable Remote Workflows: The Power Zoom functions can be controlled entirely from a distance when utilizing the optional GP-VPT2BT Wireless Shooting Grip or paired with Sony’s smartphone app interfaces. Users can also reverse the rotational direction of the zoom ring via select Alpha camera menus to suit personal handling styles.

Included Accessories
Dedicated Lens Hood Included: Ships complete with its original matching lens hood, engineered to block stray, off-axis light from causing internal flare while providing extra physical protection against accidental front element impacts.

Front & Rear Caps Included: Includes both the front and rear lens caps to securely safeguard the glass surfaces from dust, fingerprints, and smudges during transit or storage.
