The Nikkor Z 20mm F1.8 S ($1,049.95) is a wide prime lens with a bright aperture, made just for Nikon Z mirrorless cameras. It captures a wide view, for architectural and landscape work, and has a bright aperture, a plus for astrophotography and vlogging. It's a strong performer, and a fine addition for Nikon Z owners looking for a bright prime, but not quite as convenient as a zoom. The 14-30mm F4 S is more of a crowd-pleaser, but if your work cries for a wider aperture, the Nikkor Z 20mm delivers.Consistent Design Language Nikon has stuck to a consistent look, feel, and size for its F1.8 prime series. The Z 20mm F1.8 looks and handles a lot like the others in the series—currently available in 24mm, 35mm, 50mm, and 85mm focal lengths. It's finished in black, with no accent colors or flashy marks. It's a departure from the gold ring Nikon included in premium SLR lenses. Optics are housed in a black polycarbonate barrel and the package is sealed to protect against dust and splash...

The Nikon Nikkor Z 20mm F1.8 S lens is a bright prime with an extra-wide view, making it a good fit for astro, landscape, and architectural specialists.

Bright, wide-angle optics; Quick, quiet autofocus; Excellent resolution; Focuses close; Dust and splash protection; Full-frame coverage

Omits fluorine protection; Very sensitive control ring; No dedicated aperture ring or function button; Focus breathing and nonlinear focus are downers for video

What a dilemma. Discounting the price, this is an amazing lens that reaches the very highest level of quality. However, there are many lenses not that far behind, almost as fast, even at f/1.4 where the choice widens considerably. These are a fraction of the price of the Nikkor Z.

Outstanding sharpness, Virtually zero CA, Excellent flare resistance, Excellent handling, Quality manufacture, Custom functions for L-Fn button, Sublime handling of point light sources, Virtually no distortion, Beautiful bokeh effects

Huge price tag, Weight, Screw thread lens hood

The new Nikon Noct is exceptional in its build, image quality and aspiration. Undeniably big, heavy and expensive, it’s impractical for the majority of Z-camera shooters, but actually more practical than I’d imagined. Its image quality is stunning.
