This is an astounding lens. I sold my 16-35mm f/4 for it and Im not regretting it for a minute. Its better in pretty much every regard (apart from the obvious lack of zoom). Ithits all the marks, including some aspects that are not always covered in reviews, but are important to me for landscape...

Its lightweight ...compact in size...pretty quick to focus and its sharp. I really like how the glass renders the images, color and contrast are very nice. Little to no distortion as well. I wanted to go with the ultra-wide zooms but...if you want to use a ND filter set..

With the ultra-wide view of a 20mm lens, you're free to capture expansive landscapes and architecture, wedding parties, an entire band on stage, crowd shots and much more. Add low-light capabilities to that view, and the shooting possibilities are nearly endless.

I really like this lens. It's on my camera 75% of the time. Clarity is good. Focus is fast. Distortion is absolutely reasonable. A quality landscape lens if you use primes.

Perfect for astrophotography and landscapes. This lens is almost always in my bag. I would have to replace it if lost or damaged. I use it on both FX and DX.

Tack-sharp for a 20mm Good coma at 2.8 Lightweight Excellent color and contrast Amazing starburst effect when stopped down

Difficult to manually focus (live-view for astro

This must be the best I have ever bought, it is not too heavy, unlike my trinity of zooms. The sharpness is breathtaking from corner to cornet. The distortion is minimal and the colours and contrast are perfect for me. Incredible

I sweated for a while before buying this lens, because I was worried 20mm would be too limiting. Too wide or too this or too that, but... it isn't. The 20mm 1.8 is now finding its way onto my D610 at almost every shoot, and the results are fantastic.

What a cracker of a lens. Beautiful color rendition and sharp end to end

"I am shooting with a Nikon D810 full frame. I wanted a lighter lens by Nikkor with a wider angle of view. So I did my research and traded in Sigma 35 mm F/1.4 for this Nikkor 20 mm F/1.8. The new 24 mm F/1.8 is still too new and rare to see if it's any good.

I had the opportunity to do some interior shots with both the Nikon 14-24 mm f/2.8 and the 20 mm f/1.8 lens. At f/5.6 the definition of the 20 mm lens was just as good as the super 14-24 mm lens (at the same focal length).
