Pros:Extreme correctness, great sharpness and chromatic respect
Cons:Nothing, even the price is reasonable
Opinion:Excellent optics not to be compared to the excellent 20mm f1.8G. The optical scheme changes, there is an extra lens and speaking of lenses we find 3 aspherical and 3 ED lenses, also on the Z we also find a diaphragm with 9 blades instead of 7. The result is a concentrate of power that half is enough, absolutely the best 20mm I've ever tried! The sharpness returned is devastating, the flare is unknown, the correctness of this lens is touching. I use it with my second body (Zf) for light street and travel outings together with the Z 50mm f1.8 obtaining a very light and very very performance set, and I can say that - apart from the comfort of the zoom - it absolutely does not make me regret the stratospheric Z 14-24 left at home. And the MTFs don't say anything different, this little guy (so to speak...) is truly prodigious! Highly recommended for any situation, indispensable for landscapers, well done mom Nikon!
Opinion:Optics of good workmanship and excellent yield, as a first impact did not give me much confidence, because very light and plastic it seemed almost a toy, but once really put to work I had to eat everything, it has an almost magical rendering and balanced colors even under penalty of opening. The price maybe a little over the top but definitely worth it .
Pros:Great goal. It is a wideagolar pushed on Full Frame very bright. Despite being a 20mm it is still very correct in yield and has no obvious distortions. It is very bright and extremely sharp even at full aperture.
Cons:It is not a compact lens. The price is not really cheap, but it is still a great lens that is worth all the money it costs.
Opinion:Very sharp lens even at full aperture. Great blurry. Fall of light at the edges at full aperture absolutely very contained and negligible. Usable from f1.8 included onwards. Minimal aberration considering that we are talking about a 20mm. Definitely a great goal. It is a lens that can be used in many fields. I like it for landscapes wanting to frame a wide field but also for full-person portraits set in the context (obviously it is not a lens to recommend for portraits, given the focal length, but in some cases it is still versatile).
Pros:Excellent even at full aperture, minimal vignetting and nothing or almost no ghost images. Very incisive and detailed.
Cons:Certainly the weight and partly also the price
Opinion:Used on both Z7II and Z9 it offers a beautiful superlative microcontrast and sharpness. I use it with satisfaction because it is lighter and less bulky than the 14-24 when I do not want to carry too much weight with me. At f/4 it's pretty much perfect. It holds the backlight very well. I am of the opinion that the Z optics, especially if S-Line like this, are superior to the corresponding ones with F mount. Too bad that the hoods are always questionable
Pros:Sharpness, low coma, almost zero flares and ghosts, minimum focus distance
Cons:Focus by wire, shameful case, and if we want price and size but justified by quality
Opinion:Pros: Taken a few months ago to replace the Zeiss Distagon 21mm 2.8, which had in turn replaced the nikon 20mm 1.8G. Excellent sharpness already in ta, coma a ta really very contained (much better than G) flares and ghosts absent in any light condition (main reason why I sold the Zeiss), although it is a feature that I do not care about, lightning and silent focus, really great! The goals for Ml Nikon are really great. Cons: mixed plastic-metal construction decidedly better than the G, but the Zeiss is useless to turn around is superior, the Zeiss is another world. Made in China (too bad Nikon delocalizzi almost everything now, but the world goes like this). Manual focus by wire (like the whole z series) is convenient when working in autofocus since you have a third programmable ring, but when you work in manual focus the feeling I don't like (it's subjective), the light point star is similar to that of the 14-30 is not bad but it doesn't even drive you crazy , that of the G is better, finally, it is a, but the cases of Nikon Z objectives are indecent, they could make them pay 10€ more and make a case properly. In conclusion the optical quality is really formidable, super recommended, against there are but quite irrelevant. Happy to have taken it as a replacement for the Zeiss that as good as it was I could not digest it in the backlight (distagon 21mm + ftz+z6 give life to strong flares, they are incompatible with each other), instead for those who already own a 20mm G, it is superior in all respects but try it first and evaluate if the game is worth the candle, as both are excellent targets! Grade 10, case aside!
