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.
Pros:
  • * Crisp clear results
  • * Colors are great
  • * Little to no image distortion
Cons:
  • * No lens hood

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.

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.

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.
Pros:
  • Sharp, sharp, sharp
  • Very flare resistant
Cons:
  • Larger than it needs to be
  • in my opinion

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.
Pros:
  • Fast
  • Sharp even at wide open
  • No distortion
  • Compact and Light
Cons:
  • None

Lens Test: Nikon 20mm f/2.8D AF

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.

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.

Nikon 20mm f/2.8D AF Lens

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...

Nikon AF Nikkor 20mm f/2.8D Lens Review

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...
