Viltrox
Weighing just 157g, this full-frame 20mm f/2.8 prime stands out for its extreme portability and a 91.6° field of view that avoids the exaggerated facial distortion of typical 24mm vlogging lenses. The STM motor delivers rapid, silent autofocus and the optical design with 2 ED and 2 aspherical elements maintains contrast in backlit scenes, all while supporting USB-C firmware updates. This lens is best for Sony E-mount vloggers and street photographers who need an ultra-light, wide-angle setup for run-and-gun content creation.
