The following opinions have been automatically translated with Google Translate.  | sent on May 03, 2019 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) |
  | sent on February 07, 2019 Pros: Weight, diaphragm 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. |
 | sent on December 28, 2018 Pros: General yield, maximum aperture at f/1.8, lightness, sharpness, colour rendition, distortion contained, no phantom effects and flare in backlight. Cons: No one is detecting, perhaps the size (measures twice the other 20 mm). Opinion: Optics not inevitable in a full format kit. Before Sigma launched the 20 1.4 Art this lens was unbeatable. Excellent on all fronts, very wide maximum aperture (the previous Nikon was f/2.8), general rendering of the images very nice; Known in the development of raw color nuances very subtle that other lenses can not capture. Wanting to churn out well-contraated images already at full aperture with a remarkable definition of details. It communicates with the autofocus of the machine in an egregious way, I have never had a problem of focusing, even with low light. The distortion is almost absent for a 20 mm, certainly is very well corrected compared to the previous lenses. About the size I hear it's compact.... My opinion is that you can say that it is light but compact I would not say: it is long (and wide) almost twice as much as a 20 AfD (although it must be borne in mind that the 1.8 lenses are necessarily wider than those of a 2.8 lens). I use it when the Sigma 24-35 art is not wide enough or when I want to go out only with fixed: it really is a pleasure to use. For me the vote is 10 and praise, no regrets in the purchase and so much quality of the images. |
 | sent on December 26, 2018 Pros: Low weight, compactness, sharpness, angle of field. Cons: Not having it Opinion: I have long observed this lens following several forums before, and trying out the specimen of a friend later.. And as a lover of this this focal, I didn't want to get attacked by the monkey buying something that I could still obtain in the range of my Nikkor 14-24 G 2.8. But if you happen to be walking a lot, or hiking a certain difficulty, or if you just want to bring some glass on the plane for a trip abroad, you can not avoid buying the "jewel" in question! Yes, because it is a lens of great precision, with a fabulous detail and a yield that has nothing to envy to my (very heavy and delicate) 14-24. Sure, you lose the comfort of the zoom, but carry around a lens that virtually "does not weigh and occupies no space" is something fantastic! I recommend it to all lovers of wide angles and astrophotography, for the great quality of the lenses and for the results that is able to churt out (even on the hyperdense sensor of D850), but especially for the reduced weight that is priceless! Good light to all |
 | sent on May 15, 2018 Pros: compactness, weight, sharpness, brightness, aesthetics, screw filters... etc... Cons: Not stabilized nor (seriously) sealed Opinion: A fixed of this focal I think is not very usual and yet has its why. It will not be built with "premium" materials but it is sufficiently solid as well as aesthetically pleasing, with a good lens hood and light almost not to be heard despite the great luminosity. Strong point, a bit like all fixed, sharpness. Comfortable the possibility of mounting screw filters (I would say a rarity on wide) and beautiful colors for excellent photos of landscape. The stabilizer would also give a hand on these focal lengths since, Freehand, at some point the blur comes. Nice on APS-C because it becomes a 30mm to be used even more frequently. It is not sealed except for a gasket on the bayonet. In any way not bad... |
 | sent on July 06, 2017 Pros: Field angle (even on DX), sharpness, color, speed and AF accuracy Cons: Minimum diaphragm f / 16, weight, size Opinion: I used it under the same condition as the new one and still have a good residual NITAL guarantee, to be mounted on the DX (D5100, old-fashioned I know) as almost equivalent to a 28mm, accustomed to the 28mm equivalent of smartphones I knew to be My favorite handy focal point. And indeed it is. It's my first gold-finish lens with 'N' finish. I've been in it for a month and I have not detached it from the body anymore. I did three family outings with this lens alone and did not feel the need for anything else (this is obviously subjective and depends on what you are looking for). On DX has a good definition on the edges and cuts the part that on FX suffers from coma (for those who are interested in having point-like lights on edges and corners on FF, me no). The AF is fast and accurate even in low light, much faster than the 35 f / 1.8 DX and 50 f / 1.4 which I both have. The distortion is correct in the room without intervention so I do not see it, if any. Colors are lighter and less saturated than zoomIn kits and having jpegs more or less ready I had to intervene on the controls on the room. I did not see any reflections, nor did the CA, even if the tests on the network were detecting it. It's big and heavy and with the small DX it's a bit unbalanced, with the additional BG going better. The internal flash, which I often use to lighten the shadows in the most direct light hours, projects an unpleasant shadow at the bottom of the photo, even without mounted hood (just a little smaller). I would appreciate a small and cheap SB500 to overcome this problem. Also usable in TA gives the best of if diaphragmed by a couple of stops, where it detects every microscopic detail. I did not appreciate the blur at TA on DX on this focal point, but in general the images have a good three-dimensionality. On DX, great for full set figures, group photos, stunning views, celebrations, photo memories, all this even at night thanks to infallible AF and large aperture that allows lower ISO and faster times with wide PDC. Not suitable for framesNarrow or close shots due to prospective distortion. |
 | sent on June 20, 2017 Pros: Weight, brightness, sunstar, blurred, good clarity. Cons: Focus ring ring, minimum diaphragm f / 16 Opinion: Very versatile and fun to use. It offers a very contrasted yield with closed shadows. It is convenient to mount 77mm screw filters. It is usable for full opening and is engraved with intermediate diaphragms from f / 2.8 af / 8 (but not Sigma Art). It also offers good results even at night, as long as the CA is on the edges. It's a pity for the manual focus ring that is dropping. rnBellissima is the rendering of light points with a 14-point sunstar, perhaps the best Nikon lens in this view (along with 24 1.8 and 28 1.4). Excellent blurry open diaphragm. As other bright lenses, the most closed diaphragm is only f / 16. This can be a limit if you are looking for more depth of field when you work in hyperfocal focus areas and backgrounds, or when you want to stretch shooting times for creative effects. Being light and relatively small always finds a place on the bag. I find the materials appropriate to the type of use and the scratch finish does its duty.rn |
 | sent on May 09, 2016 Pros: Sharpness, color reproduction, resistance to flare, weight Cons: It does not fall in the list of objectives for Nikon professional advance Opinion: I tried hard and bright a lens with the ability to mount circular filters, and I found everything I was looking. An excellent lens for any photographic genre that goes by the scenery, set the macro given its minimum focusing distance. Coupled to the d750 you have a beautiful color rendering sharpness is impressive, also used with the slab filter system nisi v5 you get a chance to have the highest creativity in even paesaggi.ottimo in infrared photography since not suffer from hotspots. Certainly it is not the cheapest but worth all the money that it costs. I recommend it to anyone looking for a perspective for both nightscapes that infrared. It is more than sodisfatto |
 | sent on January 12, 2016 Pros: Sharpness throughout the frame, keeping the backlight, star, light weight, diameter filters 77 Cons: ring maf Opinion: A great goal, compact and light enough thanks to the materials used (exceptional in this, thanks nikon!). Excellent tightness and excellent backlighting of the star point lights. Suffer from a bit of a coma to a ta angles, sharpness even at ta is very good and no important decays of the d600 sensor 24mpx. The movement of the maf ring is very, very short and if this allows a maf in af fast, used in manual is very difficult to focus as a minimum shift coincides with a decisive change of maf floor, just a nothing and infinity you find yourself 0.4 meters !. Here I miss the old classics af, unfortunately. A vote less for the ring and the coma in point lights in the corners at TA. Distortion and AC contained, non-existent in developing the associated lens profiles LR. |
 | sent on November 29, 2015 Pros: Sharpness of F / 2.8, contrast, rendering lights, yield Lit, Brightness, Weight, Value for Money Cons: Construction, materials, Chromatic Aberrations also to F / 8, price itself Opinion: A beautiful lens that opens new artistic horizons given the opening high. Tried with 14-24 and 21 Zeiss comes out to be on par, only problem even at F / 8 you notice aberration in the corners unlike the 14-24. In any case, in my opinion I am not a replacement, this is much lighter, open to F / 1.8 and accepts 77mm filters. They can easily coexist in a kit. Spectacular as it makes the lights and how it acts against the light, especially with the sun in the frame. Color good but not exceptional, it is a lens to have fun and thank Nikon product! The price is high in itself but just, really offers a lot and for the moment does not have a direct competitor (the Sigma 20 1.4 weighs three times as much and does not accept standard filters, then in my opinion are not comparable). Nikon Brava !!! |
 | sent on November 17, 2015 Pros: Sharpness, three-dimensionality, price Cons: Unusual materials, availability Opinion: I have several other wings and this I just took because I was curious, such an opening on a 20 mm is not customary. I was very satisfied, the main feature is the sharpness coupled with a truly remarkable three-dimensional appearance, it almost seems to have in hand the afs 85 f 1.8G in wide angle version! Lightweight and not very bulky, it's really enjoyable, we must admit that optically the latest Nikon creations are really remarkable. The old 20 AFD was not bad but not a phenomenon, here we really are on another planet. I certainly do not compete with my 24 f 1.4, but that's the triple! The polymer with which it is built is the usual, we must make a reason. An optic to have, especially at this price, I paid 750 Nital. The only problem is to find it. you do not understand why but, at least in Rome, the new 20 comes with the dropper and who sells the usedit does so at the price of the new one. NOTICE: The writer is not an influencer or a guru, nor does one who downloads other images from the network to impute unlikely improvisations. For almost forty years, a passionate nikonist of photography and photographic material has been, and my opinion is not a gospel, but only the result of empirical experience. The objects I write really buy them, I play a few months and if I do not like them, but always and in any case of material at the moment in my possession. I do not make the copy paste of reviews taken here and there on the net, if I'm talking about an item it's just and because I had in the house the time it took (at least months) to try to figure it out. I often go against current, but this does not take my sleep, as far as possible I try to help young aspiring photographers who give a weight to their savings. But, I repeat, I do not bring the verb ... |
 | sent on September 23, 2015 Pros: Lightweight, high-definition, low distortion, excellent color, resistance to flare, ability to mount filters Cons: A little plasticky, slightly soft at full aperture Opinion: I have this lens for 20 days and I have already made 600 shots mounted on Nikon D750. I must say that is a fantastic combination. Beautiful colors. Excellent sharpness going down a bit 'wide open but for the use that I do is irrelevant because just close slightly and the sharpness is surprising. The great "star" effect photographing bright lights and night with the street lights. I will add more details after trying it deeper but I think a lens really excellent. |
 | sent on August 10, 2015 Pros: Light, bright, fast and little distortion Cons: Not sarprei Opinion: Great goal, very light and compact and small. Very bright given the opening to f1.8, the colors that gives are very beautiful as well as the quality of the blur. I think really has very little distortion, I would recommend it highly to anyone who wants to buy a fixed lens ultra wide angle. |

 | sent on February 18, 2015 Pros: Color reproduction, sharpness, brightness, distortion, focus, weight, price, everything! Cons: Does not make the coffee. Opinion: Finally arrived and I was able to test it: supergrand ... IOSO. While waiting to mount it on my new D750, I came across the review of Ken Rockwell http://www.kenrockwell.com/nikon/20mm-f18.htm using only enthusiastic words for this new supergrandangolo Nikkor. I for now I can only confirm what I wrote. What surprised me the most is the vivid colors and the ability to hold dead-straight escape routes perspective. If like me you love the wide-angle photography (Ken Rockwell explains it very well in his site) this is for you. |
 | sent on February 16, 2015 Pros: The structure plasticky resulting in lightness for me is a virtue, in his hand just gives you a feeling of strength and solidity; the rest is the usual high quality of a lens Nikon beaded gold series 1.8G, also a TA, then color, sharpness, contrast, local, autofocus, exposure balance ... Fantastic backlit, I love the rays of the sun f16, defined and elegant, that of the Nikon 18-35G was horrible. Cons: Cede sharpness in the corners, where the image tends to stretch a little and fall apart from the rest, but he is already physiological for ultra-wide angle, or at least the same happened with the same focus in the Sigma 12-24, slightly less in Nikon 18- 35G, lenses that I had previously, other comparisons can not help it. Opinion: Finding it was a challenge but in the end I literally caught, and a nice price Nikon; I was looking for a lens that put together the fixed light and ultra-wide, it was light enough to keep it in your backpack ... nothing more perfect than this 20mm 1.8G. Taken Friday and tried the whole weekend in both the street day and night in that landscape, I am very satisfied. The only flaw that I noticed, as I said, is a slight decline in the corners, but to go and see it you need a reasonable level of craziness :), and in any case is marginal and can eventually eliminate a slight crop. |
