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.

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.
