As a nature photographer, this lens is a 'must have for my bag. It is one of the lightest lenses you will find, anywhere (270g), it is extremely sharp, and (best of all) you can buy a Nikon BR-2A adapter+ a BR-5, flip the lens around, and use it for super-macro photography (3.4x), giving you...

Nice lens! I've had my copy since the late 90s. (bought it to go wide with an F100). About all it can't do that the newer 20mms can is open up a couple of more stops, a bit more acutance, and you don't want to point it right at the sun (coatings are better these days) It has a minor amount of barrel...

great price for the focal length comp to other lenses. sharp!

price (used); a bit noisy (used

slight flare prone; slight distortion (rectilinear); slow AF; decent close-up performance

One of my favorite lenses. You cannot beat the sharpness and clarity of a prime lens (non zoom). If you love wide angle shots this Nikon AF Nikkor 20mm f/2.8D Lens produces high quality dramatic images. Great for landscapes, interiors etc.

I always stopped at 24mm when assembling a SLR kit. Anything wider was too specialized for regular use and good glass gets pricey wider than 24mm. Except for this lens. Amazing color, contrast and sharpness. Barrel distortion is expected, corrected with DxO software or Photoshop.

Pros: All good Cons: Some distortion Other thoughts: None

This lens is truly one of the hidden gems of the Nikon lens lines. Along with the 60mm and 180mm Nikon D lenses on my D700, it is in every way my ideal Nikon outfit. My recent Ebay purchase has now kitted me out to shoot virtually all photo opportunities I am now seeing in a two months tour of Java,...

fab product and service thank you

Bought this a few weeks ago to take with me to Disney World. Was a great choice over all. I have many lenses at my disposal to use. 16mm fisheye, 20mm 2.8, 50mm 1.4, 28-70mm 2.8, 70-200mm vrii 2.8 and a D3S. With only a few exceptions, I used the 20mm2.8 most of the time.
