Opinion:I bought this lens as a gift, skeptical knowing the 35 art (Particular lens but not to my taste) I was instead very well impressed by this 20mm... on nikon F in fact there is nothing comparable ... lens that holds the falling well, very limited distortion and the typical rendering of the art in short, which on this focal length is very interesting... It is easy to say that the compromise to be accepted is the weight... 950gr... Quite a bit
Pros:The best lens ever to photograph the Milky Way and the Northern Lights in one shot.... for my experience there is no lens that best photographs it ....
Cons:only neo the cap but I put a little scotch internally to favor friction ......
Opinion:Being a purely nocturnal photographer I did a lot of rehearsals around the world using various lenses for photography set with the milky way and the Northern Lights in one shot... this is the only lens that gave me crazy satisfactions compared to other analogues to f. 2.8 ..... one of the goals that must never miss me in any kind of trip ......
Cons:As usual, caps are outrageous, obligatory to replace them
Opinion:Being in possession of other Art lenses (14, 24, 50, 105 and 135) and having verified how much this series manages to enhance the mpxls of my 850, I set out in search of another excellent wide angle. And so I found the Art 20 mm f 1.4, a monstrous optics that made me fall in love. I say immediately that even for the 20 is worth what I wrote for the 14th, there is nothing in the Nikon house that comes even close to him. Unique brightness, consistency, bokeh, absolute sharpness, three-dimensionality, detachment of mass planes in focus, management of color nuances. In short, the holy grail of wide-angles! I'm not sure if you're going to be able to do that, but I'm not sure if it's a good idea. Otherwise forget, don't waste time and settle for Nikon, Art is not for you. Why am I going to go and say this? I explain: several users have the courage to write "maf perfect, mine is not to be calibrated" but then when you go to see many photos on these reviews you realize that these gentlemen are blind, or do not know the meaning of focus, of the two each. Art are measuring instruments and for their characteristics and their speed the fine calibration of the maf is mandatory, period. Then don't say I didn't warn you....
Opinion:I took it used, almost by accident and it became my favorite lens. Its brightness is great for the night photo. The color rendering is gorgeous, colors faithful and saturated at the right point. Almost nothing the distortion. At 1.4 gives a nice blur. A lens to have in your kit if you take sights and night photos.
Pros:Sharp sharpness from 1.4, neutral colors, professional construction, autofocus very precise
Cons:Weight and footprint but it's worth it
Opinion:I was undecided for a while, party from the Nikon 16-35 F4, which I reviewed and considered a very good lens, I was then undecided what to take between the Nikon 20 1, 8g and this Sigma 20 1.4 ART to have more brightness than versatility, well I tried them both in store and out and I Chosen the Nikon 20 1, 8g for the lightness and the little footprint, glad I arrive home out of curiosity I open the files downloaded from my camera of the tests I did when I was in the store and.... I was appalled!!!! The Sigma 20 1.4 won in all, I only snapped at 1.4 and F2, the sharpness of the tiny details from afar was impressive, while the Nikon was great starting at F2,8 Morale? I came back the next day, tormenting me at night, and I replaced the Nikon with the Sigma. I confirm the really high quality of this lens, very sharp already at 1.4 not to be believed, neutral and beautiful colors, negligible dystrophy. If you don't fear weight and clutter, I highly recommend it.
