  | sent on 12 Giugno 2021 Pros: "old mold" optics, not plastic, from a sense of robustness, very versatile in various genres, very beautiful colors even without intervening in post, certainly sharpness is not like modern optics, but its cost in used makes the thing take second place ...... Cons: sincerely for what I paid for it used, no one, not very sharp perhaps, does not have VR and maybe a bit of flare (I read in previous reviews that this defect could be present ...) Opinion: purchased used, immediately liked, with the unassperated sensor of the D4/D4s is still manageable, robust construction, I did not perceive the slow AF, also because with such a short optics ..... size and minimum weight, if we think about its construction; at the minimum focal point (20mm) distorts almost nothing, it remains a wide-angle optics pushed with the intrinsic "defects" that carry all the optics of the genre with them. his favorite field of action for me remains the street but also the panoramic, I did not have the opportunity to photograph with the direct sun in the frame, we will see what it combines ... if you find it used little [I bought it for about 250€, without a lampshed (found used not original on Amazon) at 15€, but at the new look....) take it and have fun. |
  | sent on 16 Maggio 2021 Pros: Sharpness, little distortion, compact, 77 mm diameter filters. Cons: Flare and backlight yield Opinion: I use it on the d700 and bought it to have a non-extreme wide-angle zoom that would mount filters. I'd say great lens, no frills. For me a great purchase. The only two points against concern the lampshed, which is an optional, HB8 code that original costs 20-30 euros but is difficult to find, but above all the yield with the sun in the frame is not at all satisfactory, purple halos are created impossible to postprodduct. |
 | sent on 01 Febbraio 2021 Pros: Well-built lens. Solid and reliable. Ghetto fluidity. Cons: Diaphragm ring jamming into 3 specimens that I had in my hands. For those who own it, could you tell me if it is just as much a factory defect as all the Nikon specimens? Opinion: Magnificent optics in every sense. Af reactive. Smooth and soft rings that move even with a single finger. Reliable and pleasant to use. A great reportage goal. With greater effort Nikon could make him return better sharpness to the edges at F2.8 and F4. That's a shame. Otherwise excellent optics. The excellent distortion correction at 20 mm is truly exemplary. |
 | sent on 03 Ottobre 2020 Pros: Bright, focal range, 77 filters, construction, appearance Cons: Remarkable drop in sharpness at the edges, focus distance. Opinion: A lens that goes well with digital machines. That said, it's a slow granite, with extremely satisfying shapes, and that guarantees at a reduced price (about 300 euros used but also less) a good wide angle at 2.8. Twenty millimeters for me is a great focal point, maybe by today's standards a little long for certain uses but 20-35 mm is all you need when walking down the street. I would have kept it if it were not for the lack of sharpness at the edges that is also noticeable to the medium diaphragms (I used it on the D3, 12 Mp). Too bad because it costs 1/3 of the other wide angles. However, I must add that I have badly digested the 0.5 meters as the minimum distance of focus. Maybe he's not among the better-aged Af-Ds. |
 | sent on 19 Marzo 2020 Pros: Construction,size,colors,general performance,robustness, aesthetics, simplicity,2.8 Cons: Flare, at the corners Opinion: I've been pointing it out for a while, trying to get as much info as possible about it. Unfortunately, it is not a famous lens and on the web the info is not many... Found used,but in very good condition at a very advantageous price. I liked it right away,because it covers excellent focal points for my needs. It's a 2.8. it does not have electronics that makes it delicate, in my view it is aesthetically beautiful, it is part of the VERI Nikon. It took me a while to appreciate it. As soon as I arrived, I was disappointed. The first pictures/evidence, it was a total crap!! Then I realized that the very swinging yield,was due to a slight Back Focus. After correcting, the optics changed character. At 2.8, the yield is good in the middle, but as soon as you deviate its sides, the definition drops a lot until you get to be almost nothing at the extreme edges and, above all, at the corners. From f4 you have, on the other hand, a marked improvement.... From 5.6 and up, it gets awesome. There are ACEs, which accentuate the problems to large openings, but just a click to solve the problem. Excellent the absence of distortion,which at 20mm is almost nothing. I really like his surrender. Soft tones and shadows never closed and the colors are quite faithful. The only defect absolutely impossible to tame,are the flares.... Unmanageable. If the sun enters the frame, they are all bitter zebedei, because the flares are there, there are many and they are well present. And ugly too!! The construction is great. Glass and (most) metal. There's no point in electronics, so there's nothing to break. The dials are well taken and the front lens does not protrude. It's not a modern optic, so that's it.... Except perfect. But it's part of those optics that had a character of their own. It has to be understood. And in any case, he absolutely knows how to deliver great results. Do I recommend it? Yes. Absolutely!! |
 | sent on 17 Febbraio 2019 Pros: Construction, robustness, price of the used. Cons: Nothing particularly for my use Opinion: Found at low price and matched to the 300d.. With the APSC of course you lose the wide angle effect but it turns into the classic lens handyman with the advantage of having a high brightness and in my opinion a contrast in the incredible photos. Always paired with APSC there is the advantage that you do not use the peripheral edges of the lens because of the smallest sensor for which the sharpness is by reference. Thinking about how much I paid him I regret just not having found it before |
 | sent on 13 Novembre 2018 Pros: -More than satisfactory focal length excursion (I 20mm for me are the perfect wide angle)-sturdy construction-sharpness from F/8 to F/11-well-balanced-77mm filters Cons: -Uncomfortable lens hood, you can take it off and put it only without cap on the lense-minimum distance of MAF too high-flare with strong backlight-a f/2.8 is not very engraved, improves from F/4 up Opinion: I was initially oriented for the 17-35, tested by my retailer, but just after a few shots I noticed the flaws typical of that optics (MAF uncertain and whistling) and then I folded for this 20-35 and I have not regretted it at all. No flaw, no hesitation, it runs great and generates excellent images. The 20 mm are perfect for me, and the ability to mount filters from 77 is an essential prerogative. The sunburst is one of the nicest I've ever seen. The only drawback are the flare, not always simple to manage, but despite everything even with the direct sun in the frame the image does not lose contrast, and this is a big advantage. In my opinion here Nikon has baked a real gem, and has taught canon and other brands how to produce wide-angle quality.. |
  | sent on 30 Ottobre 2018 Pros: Granite Construction, perfect focal length excursion, optically egregious Cons: For the reference price nothing Opinion: Nikon's old-fashioned optics, had and of which I immediately appreciated the robustness. The focal range from 20 to 35 allows to contain the dimensions and the use of crazy systems to reach ultra wide-angle focal lengths. This allows an excellent image quality from 24mm to 35mm. Unfortunately at the minimum focal length of 20mm the aberrations are several, and on sensors already from 24mpx the sharpness from mid frame to the edges is not satisfactory. Optic Born for film, you can not ask too much in terms of optical rendering. For the price of about €300 is definitely a purchase to think about. Would I recommend it compared to 17-35 2.8? I'm not sure, also because now there are some specimens at really low prices, and the difference in quality is remarkable. Good possibility to assemble filters of human size. It certainly can't compare with the newly-produced super-wide angles and production, but for a low budget kit, it can be a great choice to get the focal lengths from 0 to 50 without a major expense. |
 | sent on 29 Ottobre 2018 Pros: Old-fashioned construction, minimal distortion, bright, excellent focal excursion Cons: Full-open sharpness on digital Opinion: Great wide-angle, compact, done properly, not very sharp with full-open digital bodies but quite correctable in post, perfect focal excursion with minimal distortion and very little vignette (on D3s) speed in af enough for the type of optics mounted on pro body, bright, makes shots with unsaturated colors, if you find one bought, I always keep it in the bag, it is compact and robust, I use it mainly to photograph podiums, but also for panoramic or street is a great lens ... |
 | sent on 02 Novembre 2016 Pros: historic objective of nikon, solid, unbreakable, excellent quality Cons: blurs the edges of her closest rival the 16-35 L usm canon is superior as optical yield slow and noisy autofocus canon above it! Opinion: very good lens quality, indestructible, compact small dimensions. I took anywhere from Liberia to Somalia from Sudan to Thailand! blurs the edges, however good the aperture ring that lets you make small corrections on the fly! I have bought just come out and I still have it, I should have it checked after 20 years of use! |
 | sent on 06 Ottobre 2016 Pros: construction, focal length, distortion control Cons: cool colors and minimum distance of focus, suffers a bit with the latest sensors Opinion: Lens always very valuable and virtually indestructible. no motor, no stabilizer. metal and glass, and very little to break. very good control of distortion and focal range valid for almost all occasions. f / 2.8 is still a bit soft but already from f / 4 improves a lot and always growing up to f / 8. my only personal disappointment as the color tone a little bit cold and incised, at least in my copy. Minimum focusing distance now outdated. the purchase depends on the price at which you find it, there are other viable cheaper lenses (only as to price) as the tokina 20-35, also very sturdy metal and glass, the better the variable aperture f / 3.5-4.5 hard successor f / 2.8; had all three lenses of which I speak and I held tokina 20-35 3.5-4.5, it all depends on what one should do. |
 | sent on 27 Dicembre 2015 Pros: Relatively compact, very solid and built to last, on FF is a wide-angle zoom superb! Superb fluidity of the ferrules and finally excellent image quality. Cons: MAF excessive distance (0.5m), other do not know. Opinion: What about ... Purchase like new with its packaging, just grafted onto D700 I fell in love. rnRealizzato with the best materials and the best professional standards of Nikon, they used to be, when Nikon did things right, then glass and metal. rnCopre superbly major wide angle range that most used to FF are a real lust! The picture quality is high already at room temperature and reach the top from f8 to f11 up, the only flaw is the minimum distance of MAF which is really excessive, but it is a defect that can be forgiven considering the fantastic performance of the lens all in all. rnDa take with your eyes closed, if you find it well maintained below 500 Euros, worth them all and then some. |
 | sent on 09 Aprile 2015 Pros: excellent construction, sturdy, nice range of focal Cons: af than once, high maf Opinion: about a week for my purchase, in poco.Utilizzo effects of d700 for now I love it, I concluded the royal tern nikon the years 1990-2000, as also used 35-70 and 80-200 f.2,8.Tre optical fabulous for my taste, are not blades wide open, become influential closing, but have a vintage feel, for me insuperabile.Il 20-35 replaces my 12-24 f4, used on large optical d300, but the old affascina.rn if you can find it under 450-500 € try it worth pena.rn |
 | sent on 15 Settembre 2014 Pros: Excellent construction, very useful range of focal lengths, excellent quality Cons: Soft edges to TA, a minimum focus distance of high hood found. Opinion: I have just this lens, but already I love it. I took it for two days in the mountains with my Nikon FE and I pretty much just used this lens. Useful range of focal lengths, truly a handyman for reportage: from wide-angle driven (20mm) to 35mm, the classic. Abbinateci a 85/105/135 (depending on your taste) and you will not need other lenses! RNLA building is a delightful old-style (nikon thing that has been lost, unfortunately): all metal (except dial aperture and switch AF / MF) solid feel absolute nuts with fluid and precise, a real pleasure to usare.rnSenza hood suffers a little 'flare and slight loss of contrast when the sun is just out of frame, so if you do not have the' original (unavailable), you'll get it third parti.rnMonta 77mm filters: easy to find, cheaper than 82mm, nothing special solutions and ultracostose (see 14-24) .rnAngoli a bit 'soft at room temperature, but when you need it (especially landscape) just close the aperture to have them back his nitidi.rnIlonly real flaw is the minimum focus distance of 50 cm compared with 25-30 cm of the optics are a bit like the current 'Tantini ... but it is a defect which, imho, you can safely soprassedere.rnrnIo are able to take it home with € 120 with its caps and the original hardshell case (alas, without a hood, which I purchased from a third party): value to the stars. |
 | sent on 12 Luglio 2014 Pros: Tank .. glass and metal lens grinded by hand, excellent performance at all focal lengths and apertures Cons: Autofocus noisy Opinion: Finally last summer I was able to find it ... optical underestimated and even rare in the used market ... excellent performance at all focal lengths and all apertures. It is the perspective that I always mounted on D600 ... construction is solid but at the same time less heavy and bulky his successors. Important front lens hood ... must always be mounted. rnResa great, vibrant colors and pastellosi, autofocus fast but noisy. If you find it not more than 500 € ... fatevelo not escape. |
 | sent on 24 Maggio 2014 Pros: construction of the past, great zoom range especially if you bring a first target for reporting, ability to mount filters, resistance to flare, used already at full aperture, color rendering and image quality. Cons: minimum distance of MAF and the fact that the original lens hood is now practically impossible to find ... but I've never missed !!! Opinion: If you are looking for perfection and optical images to look more under the microscope than with the heart ... to contact lenses last generation. This little gem is built with precision and care that is no easy find. The yield is good already at full aperture and if you do landscaping just close the aperture for sharp corners. The backlight is not an issue. Its natural range is still the reportage ... bring your trips and you will find that you will not need to bring much more! I often travel alone with this AF 20-35 f2.8 D attached to my D810 and an AF 85 f1.4 D bag ... people meditate meditate. |
 | sent on 11 Maggio 2014 Pros: Low weight and dimensions, robust, Cons: Minimum focusing distance Opinion: Just got it and I use it on d600. rnEro looking for that range of focal lengths to make landscape and street, rncredo to have found the right balance in terms of performance, weight and cost, the colors are very intense contrastati.rnUtilizza filters 77 mm comfortable and not very expensive if you think that alternatives 14 24 2.8 16 28 2.8 nikon tokina can not mount them at great expense ... if not there would be subsequent evolution 17 35 2.8 ... if you got it used but care must be taken to the motor focus of this' instead the last 20 and 35 does not have an advantage in that I think this senso.rnCome mentioned only fault those minimum distance of 50 cm MAF but when I think that I spent 1000 Euros less than the 14 24 I smile and I enjoy my optics. |
 | sent on 08 Febbraio 2014 Pros: Weight and small footprint, constant aperture, blurry great old school building. Cons: Minimum focusing distance (50cm) Opinion: Purpose built like a tank, my indestructible after 21 years there were no defects or hesitation each wheel nut perfectly. With its 640gr I believe is still the constant f/2.8 wide-angle zoom lightest ever costruito.rnIo use it mostly for landscape and apertures of between f / 8 and f/11 I have to say, that achieves a sharpness still great, no special treatment to slow but for many this does not seem to be a defect in fact offers shades of color reali.rnAnche very hot and I think its only limit these are minimum distance of 50cm from the MAF ... but what can you do, you coexists cm ², all you can not have! |
 | sent on 02 Maggio 2013 Pros: Compact, lightweight, very good quality, robust Cons: Missing the motor inside the lens, minimum focusing rather "long", some minor problems with the reflections in certain circumstances, as the extreme borders Opinion: It 'was my first extreme wide-angle zoom. Used before on film (F5 and F801) and then on digital, mostly with D700. Excellent resolution and good performance over the entire field, only the extreme corners are a bit 'soft, but improve by stopping down a few stops. At full coverage and a more than adequate, it becomes very good at f / 4. Very practical to use, but the biggest drawback is the minimum focusing a bit 'too long. It should utiolizzato with cameras equipped with motor for AF and uses 77mm filters, very comfortable. Some problems with flare, especially compared with the Nikon AF-D 20mm f / 2,8 which is superior optical performance in these situations, but overall sharpness as I preferred this to the zoom focal length lenses. |
