I bought the Nikkor 20-35mm last year on ebay because I needed an "event" lens as I like to say. I was hired to shoot some special events and a wedding too and all I had for a pro lens was a Nikkor 50mm 1.4....a great, great lens, but really difficult to shoot an entire event with.

This is a lightweight landscape lens that gives great depth of field results. Colors pop and sharpness from forground to background is great with this lens. Also excellent for architectural photography. Guard against lens flare and get compatible Nikon lens hood.

A wide angle lens with great center sharpness but not as good as my 14mm but at a third the cost what could you expect? and what's more it can take a front filter when conditions are too dirty to pull out my 14mm which has no protection at all.

Takes a front filter; very compact; resonably sharp; low distortion

Window glare is dreadful

The whole thing cam in a carrying bag and the muslin chroma key green was in a plastic storage bag. It was easy and quick to set up and figure out. The green screen was easy to set up and I was taking my first shots in about 10 mins. Would have been sooner if I had figured out a couple things.

If you haven't already figured it out, I'm a Nikon fan. I only have Nikon lenses for my Nikon bodies

A great versatile ultra wide angle

Vignetting is sometimes a problem

Nikon AF Nikkor 20mm f/2.8D is one of the older, AF wide angle lenses in Nikon's modern lens lineup. Released in 1994, the lens has not gone through any revisions so far. Up until mid 2000, the lens remained the widest, AF-type, rectlinear prime in Nikon's lineup (that title belongs to AF Nikkor...

While I hope to create a full Nikon 20mm f/2.8D AF Lens, my first priority is to include results from this lens in the lens comparison tools available on the site. This page currently exists because it is required by the database and content management systems for me to post information and standard...

There isn't a whole lot to say about a fixed 20 lens. It is sharp, contrasty, and a bit fragile. All of Nikon's "very wide" lenses have "close-range correction" (CRC). This is a "floating element" that moves relative to the other pieces of glass inside the lens as you focus.

What you should know : If any optic in Nikon's extensive lens line can be called a standard ultrawide, it's the long-running 20mm f/2.8D AF Nikkor. Covering an impressive 94- degree angle, it's also pleasantly compact and fast enough for available-light shooting.

I used this lens for my new d700. It is really wide for my landscape and architecture shots that I don't need to carry my heavy 17-35 2.8. It is also very useful for my wedding low-light indoors shots in church and restaurant.

Fast; Sharp even at wide open; No distortion; Compact and Light
