The best glass makes the best photo

Great lens,  Extremely sharp and light weight.

Awesome lens

my expectations were high and they met them just like always.  the lens works perfectly for my nature images.

OUTSTANDING LENS!

Great lens for landscape

Super sharp lens>

Using this on a D7200 so it is more lens than I need, but I was disappointed in the available dx lens from Nikon.    This lens is beautiful, sharp, and light enough to leave on camera all day.   The positive reviews are all warranted.  Also, Adorama threw in a cleaning kit and a uv filter, which I would not have bought on my own, but have proved quite useful and high quality.

Great lens useful kit

I use this for Milky Way photos.  Very sharp!

Night Sky Use

A must for Nikon Landscape photography. Sharp, sharp, sharp........

A Landscape gem !!!!

LIGHTWEIGHT LENS THAT PERFORMS VERY WELL. WELL BUILT AND WORTH THE MONEY

EXCELLENT LANDSCAPE LENS

Extremely fast and light weight.  Very sharp images.  Highly recommended.

Yep, it's good.

I step-up on this package for fixable hood, cleaning pen and the focusing chart, but the chart was very disappointing! After buying three or four lens with packages the program software is outdated and included in most packages. Buy the packages that you don't pay extra for.

the extras

Amazing lens for landscape and got a good deal on it.

Excellent lens

If you want a wide angle prime lens for a full frame nikon this is perfect for you...

One of the best prime lens under 1000$

Traded in my older 14-24 2.8 for this lens, wanted to be lighter and carry "less" in the camera bag. The weight difference alone between the two lenses is stunning. 
This 20mm prime is incredibly sharp and fast, easily one of Nikons' best lenses in recent years. The 14-24 is a "legendary" lens but mine was never quite sharp wide open.. 
For weddings/events this lens really can't be beat!!

Fantastic wide angle without the stretch.

This is a very sharp Nikon 20mm prime lens at all apertures, I use it on my Niion D750, it makes 14 sunstars as you can see from my photos.

Super Sharp at all apertures, 14 sunstars

Although I use this primarily for night sky images, it is also great for all wide angle applications.

Excellent Night Sky Lens

Replaced my 20mm 2.8D with this lens. Spectacular sharpness when stopped down to normal apertures. Behaves very well down to around 2.8. Significant vignetting at larger apertures, but it’s easy to correct in Lightroom. Barrel distortion also exists, though this too is very easy to correct. I prefer it over the 24mm 1.4, as it’s a little wider and much lighter. Very usable as the default lens in a 2 or 3 piece prime lens kit.

The all metal 20mm 2.8 is a much more robust lens, but isn’t as fast or as good optically.

Excellent Lens

This lens is fast, sharp and light. Anytime, I'm hiking and might have a landscape to shoot, this lens is on the camera. I have used it all over the west to capture landscapes in all kinds of weather and conditions. Everything from alpine lakes, water falls, sweeping mountain scenes and astrophotography of the Milky Way, this lens is perfect and sharp corner to corner.

My go to lens for landscapes

Amazing lens, from the moment I put it on my camera I knew it was love. Perfect for parties and landscapes. A+

Already in love

Purchase was smooth and painless. Got the lens in a timely fashion. Would buy again for sure.

Sweet lens

No Doubt, Excellent quality and very satisfied with purchase

Nikon 20mm f/1.8G AF-s ED Nikkor Lens

Great sharp and fast lens.  I purchased this lens to shoot surf photos with a Nikon D850 in an Aquatech water housing.  I love it, makes for great action and wave shots.

Stellar lens for in the water surf photography

A Sharp lens.
produces great sun stars.
One of the best low light lens as well.

Sharpest edge to edge

I got this lens mostly for photographing stars.  Its f1.8 speed enables use of a relativly low ISO (100 - 200) while shooting stars at night.  At f1.8, 200 ISO, 20-25 sec. a fairly full moon outside the frame will make the landscape look like daytime.  The only issue I see is with the focus.  Be sure to test during the day to determine the real location of infinity on this lens.  Mine is a bit to the left of the actual infinity mark ?.  There's not much latitude in the focus ring on this lens so it's very difficult to set it for the hyperlocal distance like I can do with my other 24mm lens.  Know where infinity actually is on this 20mm lens and the stars will be sharp.

Sharp fast lens, compact and lightweight, be sure to ID correct infinity focus

This lens seemed a bit expensive and out of range for my use when I already had the 14-24mm 2.8 Nikon.
But when doing more weddings and work where I had to be on the move, the huge weight was just too much.
Traded in and paid a little to get this magnificent piece of glass.
14-24 would sometimes hunt for focus and even with the stellar reviews I usually found it a bit soft and unreliable for any moving subject. THIS however is very light, a bit 'plastic-y' but that just transfers to more mobility and throwing it on and off cameras; although with its sharp, rectilinear and very clean sharpness I left it on my D810 the entire wedding. Absolutely recommend this lens for any purpose, the distortion control is so great I will be incorporating it more for environmental portraits.

Amazing Clarity and Value.

I love this lens! Only used it twice, but the results have been great.

Nikon 20mm f/1.8G AF-S ED Nikkor Lens

one of the best pieces of glass in Nikon's lineup. for those who have never shot 20mm on full frame, it's wider than you think!

Great Tool in the Bag

Wonderful!

No issues, excellent color rendition, nice wide view of range, highly recommend!

Great Lens!

Awesome lens... perfect for landscape and even as a walk around lens... another great feature is that it can focus very close. Adorama delivery was spot on.
