2 Of The Best Sony A6000 Pancake Lenses On The Market!

In today’s article, we will be taking a look at what we feel is the best Sony a6000 pancake lens currently available on the market right now. Unfortunately, many of the popular pancake lenses are unavailable with a Sony E-mount connector but we did manage to build a short list of lenses and then finally reduce that down to two lenses that we decided to feature.

Both of the lenses that we will be covering are very small as you would expect from a pancake lens while also offering some excellent performance and functionality for you for what we feel is a fair price. Additionally, both of the lenses we have chosen to feature already have a6000 owners using them and have both managed to earn a great reputation over the years.

In our opinion, the top contender for the title of best Sony a6000 pancake lens is without a doubt the Sony SEL-20F28 E-Mount 20mm F2.8 (Click here to check for product prices and availability).

We would like to also mention that the lens comes with a 49mm lens filter thread on the off-chance that you want to pick up and additional filters for the lens to further customize its performance to get exactly what you need out of it. At the very minimum, we would advise our readers to pick up a high-quality 49mm UV filter (Click here to check for product prices and availability) to help protect the front element of the lens against damage during any potential accidents during use but many photographs choose not to do this and do not have any issues.

Overall we feel that the Sony SEL-20F28 is a very good lens that will serve your Sony a6000 well if you are looking to pick up a pancake lens for it. On top of this, the lens has managed to maintain its excellent reputation within the community from its launch all the way through to the time of writing this article leading us to believe that it has a very strong future ahead of it.
