Nikon Nikkor Z 20 mm f/1.8 S
Taking care of an even image quality across the frame up from the f/1.8 aperture, is particularly visible. The tested lens is able to put to shame not only the Nikkor 1.8/24 but also the 1.8/35 model, praised by us to heavens and a lot easier to correct.
Pros:
- solid, weather-sealed, mostly metal casing,, very good resolution in the frame centre,, good image quality on the edge of the APS-C/DX sensor,, sensible image quality on the edge of full frame already from the maximum relative aperture,, low longitudinal chromatic aberration,, negligible lateral...
Cons:
- distinct vignetting on full frame,, a lot of coma-related problems,

Nikon Z 20mm f1.8 S review
The Nikon Z 20mm f1.8 S is a unique proposition for owners of Nikon's full-frame mirrorless cameras: It is the widest large aperture lens with autofocus designed specifically for the short flange distance of the Nikon Z system.

Nikon Nikkor Z 20mm F1.8 S Review
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. 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...
Pros:
- Bright, wide-angle optics
- Quick, quiet autofocus
- Excellent resolution
- Focuses close
- Dust and splash protection
- Full-frame coverage
Cons:
- Omits fluorine protection
- Very sensitive control ring
- No dedicated aperture ring or function button
- Focus breathing and nonlinear focus are downers for video

Nikon NIKKOR Z 20mm f/1.8 S Lens - Brand New review
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.
Pros:
- 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
Cons:
- Huge price tag, Weight, Screw thread lens hood

Nikon NIKKOR Z 20mm f/1.8 S Lens - Brand New review
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.
