Nikon 20mm f/2.8D AF

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

None

Coming from Leica and Olympus film cameras, I'm used to 21mm lenses that are quite a bit smaller than this one. It's only small in comparison with modern bloated zooms, which I won't carry around at all. Nevertheless, it's the sharpest W/A I've ever had, especially at f4.

Sharp, sharp, sharp; Very flare resistant

Larger than it needs to be; in my opinion

Nikkor AF 20mm f/2.8 D - Review / Test Report

The build quality of the lens is very good and in line with most moderately priced Nikkors. The outer barrel is made of good quality polycarbonate combined with a metal mount. The small rubberized focus ring operates very smooth.

If you like to take landscape or nature photographs, try this lens for shaping cloud, rocks, land or even tree or bridge. Just be prepared to get facsinating shape of your subject. It's wide but not too wide to ruin the original shape of the subject.

This is my first super wide fix focal length lens. In the short time that I have had it, it has produced stunning results. The image comes through crisp and clear. The colors are outstanding. I brought this lens with me to photograph Italy, and all I can say is, wow.

* Crisp clear results; * Colors are great; * Little to no image distortion

* No lens hood
