Sony's compact power-zoom ultra-wide for APS-C — the 10-20mm f/4 PZ for vlogging and video.
The Sony E PZ 10-20mm f/4 G (SELP1020G) was released in 2022 as a compact power-zoom ultra-wide for Sony's APS-C E-mount cameras. Covering a 15-30mm equivalent range with a constant f/4 aperture and smooth motorised zoom, it targets vloggers and video creators who need wide coverage with professional-grade zoom control on compact a6000-series bodies.
Optical performance is very good. Sharpness is excellent across the frame thanks to the G designation indicating Sony's premium lens tier. The constant f/4 aperture provides consistent exposure throughout the zoom range. Power zoom provides smooth, controllable zoom speed essential for video. Dual linear motor AF is fast and silent.
Sony E mount, APS-C. Filter thread is 62mm. Weight is approximately 178 grams — extraordinarily light for an ultra-wide zoom with power zoom and G-class optics. Build quality is good with dust and moisture resistance. The compact size matches Sony's small a6000-series bodies perfectly. Internal zoom design — the lens does not extend.
Limited used availability as a newer lens. Check PZ motor and AF operation. An outstanding ultra-wide for Sony APS-C video creators. The power zoom, constant aperture, compact size, and G-class optics make it one of the best vlogging ultra-wide lenses available. The Sony E 10-18mm f/4 OSS is the alternative with IS instead of PZ.
