Sony E 20mm f/2.8 vs Sony FE 28mm f/2
The Sony E 20mm f/2.8 and the Sony FE 28mm f/2 side by side, computed from this guide's catalogue.
Which to pick
Pick the Sony E 20mm f/2.8 if you want a design for APS-C, which usually means smaller and lighter and a lighter lens (69 g against 200 g). Pick the Sony FE 28mm f/2 if you want a brighter f/2 (1.0 stops more light), for dim light and softer backgrounds and coverage of full frame, so it suits the larger-sensor bodies too.
