Here are some practical examples of the zoom range of the Sony E 10-20mm f/4 PZ G wide-angle zoom lens.
This is a lens designed for Sony’s cropped APS-C sensor Alpha cameras, such as the a6### series. In this case, I took all of these on the Sony a6700.
On the APS-C sensor cameras, the 35mm equivalent focal lengths are 15mm to 30mm. Both ends of the zoom range are comfortably within the typical definition of wide-angle, but the zoomed out end, at 15mm, is what is sometimes referred to as ultra-wide-angle.
Put in a more direct way, it has an effective angle of view of 109° when fully zoomed out and 70° when fully zoomed in.
Visual examples
So what do those numbers look like in visual terms? Is it a good fit for the type of wide-angle photos you want to take?
Here are some real-world examples (all shot on a Sony a6700).
