Pros:Weight, general yield, flare resistance, construction quality also alse plasticosa, 1.8
Cons:Cost, not tropicalized
Opinion:I have been possessing this lens for quite a while, I bought it for photo releases where I can afford to bring the REFLEX. I use it in my little ff kit which is 20 and 50 both 1.8. I preferred them to a zoom lens for weight, both are much lighter than a 24-120 for example, and it would also allow me to have an almost 85, still having much higher quality. The lens is fantastic, not too open, not too closed, easily transportable, has an excellent yield, if you then close at 2.8 from already the maximum of itself. I feel like recommending it to those who want a high-performance, light optics, which can be used in landscapes but also at night. The only negative note is the price, in my opinion too high for its range of use.
Opinion:Great wide angle, a real handyman. Thanks to its lightness and usability in all situations (also thanks to the unimer common opening of 1.8) I always take it with me when it comes to taking wide photos: the lightness of the lens takes away the temptation to leave it at home ... In the backlight it leaves me speechless and this really is its best quality: some of my favorite photos were taken with this lens directly with the sun in the frame and the yield hardly suffers... and the sun becomes a beautiful star that enhances the shot. I tried for a few days the legendary Nikon zoom 14- 24 f/ 2.8 G ED of a friend... and I confess that I was not comfortable: it will be that I am used to fixes, it will be the weight but precisely that lens did not convince me: ghost lights, flares, ugly rendering in backlight ... Nothing to do with this nice little gem I own. Try to believe: sharpness and three-dimensionality, color rendering and ease of use make it a versatile and fun lens. Ah well... It is castrated (... It doesn't have the opening ring). But now in the manual you no longer go, in case you play with ISOs ... in my opinion, of course! Conclusion: Nikonist friends if you want a light, fun and practical wide angle for DSLR give us a thought... in my opinion you will not regret it. Good light wide at all !
Pros:Optically high quality, light, 77mm screw filters, very bright
Cons:Not tropicalized (but it's small, protecting it is easy)
Opinion:This 20mm G-series is optically great, spectacular. It's also small, lightweight, with 77mm screw filters. The 20mm focal is also very well balanced as wide-angle, not too pushed (e.g.14mm) but more versatile than 24mm. In my opinion it is an optics to have absolutely for the landscape, to travel and use filters without too much weight, low costs and with great comfort. Those who know how to handle the wide-angle can also make excellent portraits set.
Pros:Sharpness, colors, very large distortion, brightness
Cons:Coma at the edges (is certainly not among the worst, i default CROPPO all photos of stars because who more who less than coma suffer all lenses and I can not suffer), not tropicalized
Opinion:One of my favorite lenses. Architecture, night shots, panoramas are the uses to which I submit more. Sharp while retaining a character, not aseptic. I love her. 20mm for some uses in architecture is too long as focal, it would be better 16mm, but I preferred the rendition of this lens to a shorter focal, I arrange as I can. Ad f 1.8 is a bit softer at the edges, but it remains acceptable and above all just close to F2-2.8 to see already a rendition of fear. Vignette so much at the maximum aperture, but it may not be bad and it corrects in a click or directly in the room. Very fast and reliable AF (not that it is a necessity with this type of lens, but can please)
Cons:Price, construction a bit plasticose (but it is used to limit its weight)
Opinion:I was undecided between the Sigma 1.4 and the Nikon 1.8 as it is a lens that I do not use much (I do not do landscapes) I preferred at least for once save me the weight, by tending that the more you go to the pushed wide angle (24----> 20-----> 16-----> 14 etc) less you notice the D Difference between open aperture as 1.4 and 1.8 (for street use or portraiture) the cost in my opinion is a bit ' altino as for all Nikon optics, but the quality and good. If I had accepted the weight of the Sigma I think I would have taken that, having already the 35 1.4 art, are the Ferrari of optics.
