The best glass makes the best photo

Low light, wide performance, and fast action what else could make a shoot more difficult? The Nikon 20mm was up to the task capturing flips, jumps and stunts performed by my granddaughters cheer squad.

Great lens useful kit

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.

the extras

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 After buying three or four lens with packages the program software is outdated and included in most packages.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.

Fantastic wide angle without the stretch.

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!!

Super Sharp at all apertures, 14 sunstars

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.

Excellent 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.

My go to lens for landscapes

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.

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

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.

Amazing Clarity and Value.

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.

FEATURED REVIEWS

Optically Superb Yet Very Light Weight

By Scripps23

The new Nikon 20mm f/1.8 lens has superior optics, low light capability, and very light weight for its size. The lens is very easy to travel with. I just tested this lens in Las Vegas, Nevada and in National Parks in Utah. Attached are six photos taken with this lens and a Nikon D800 camera body. Four building images were taken hand held in low light situations, at an f/1.8 aperture, and at ISO values less than 3200. Two landscape images were taken hand held during daylight hours.

Great performance, fun lens

By albeans

I was excited enough by its announcement that I pre-ordered this lens. I have both the 28 mm and the 35 mm lenses in this f/1.8 series. I use them on my D800 & D600 with great success; the 20 mm is no exception. I find it to be quite sharp, with high resolution qualities. However, Rule #1 with any new lens on my camera is an auto fine tune adjustment - must do!! After that, the results are great. I've developed a quick, easy method to run the adjustment; only takes about 5 minutes, and no spe...

View full Review

Experience the expansive reach of the AF-S NIKKOR 20mm f/1.8G ED lens, a high-quality, professional-grade wide-angle lens that offers photographers and videographers an exceptional combination of versatility and performance. This durable and reliable lens is designed to elevate your Nikon D-SLR's capabilities, whether you're capturing stunning landscapes, architectural marvels, or dynamic crowd scenes.

The innovative design of this lens features a 20mm focal length that provides a dramatic ultra-wide-angle perspective with a 94-degree angle of view on FX-format cameras (70-degree equivalent on DX-format cameras). This makes it an indispensable tool for expansive shots, ensuring that every detail is captured with clarity and precision.

With its f/1.8 maximum aperture, the lens excels in low-light conditions, allowing a substantial amount of light to reach the camera's sensor. This enables photographers to create images with a shallow depth of field, producing beautifully blurred backgrounds and sharp subjects. The wide aperture also facilitates shooting at lower ISO settings, maintaining high image quality while minimizing noise.

The AF-S NIKKOR 20mm f/1.8G ED is engineered to deliver exceptional performance across the entire frame. It incorporates Aspherical (AS) lens elements and Extra-low Dispersion (ED) glass elements, which work together to reduce sagittal flare and chromatic aberration. The Nano Crystal Coat further enhances image quality by virtually eliminating internal lens element reflections and ghosting, ensuring crisp, clear images even when shooting in challenging lighting conditions.

Nikon's Silent Wave Motor (SWM) technology ensures that autofocus is not only accurate but also quiet and smooth, making it ideal for video recording. The lens's Rear Focusing System means the lens does not extend during focusing, allowing for faster performance and maintaining a compact form factor.

As part of Nikon's esteemed f/1.8 FX-format prime lens collection, the AF-S NIKKOR 20mm f/1.8G ED is a perfect complement to other lenses in the series, offering consistent optical performance and exposure control. This allows photographers to switch between lenses seamlessly, without compromising on image quality.

This bundle enhances the lens's capabilities even further with the inclusion of the ProOptic 77mm Variable ND Filter Kit, which provides precise control over the amount of light entering the lens. This is particularly useful for filmmakers and photographers looking to manage exposure and create artistic effects. The bundle also includes a robust lens case, a high-quality lens cleaner, a comprehensive cleaning kit, and a convenient lens cap tether to ensure your lens remains in pristine condition.

Whether you're shooting stills, HD video, time-lapse sequences, or star trails, the AF-S NIKKOR 20mm f/1.8G ED lens bundle is designed to unlock new creative possibilities and enhance your visual storytelling.

Nikon 20mm f/1.8G Features

  • Design based on the latest optical technologies achieves superior point image reproduction characteristics and minimal chromatic aberration
  • The ultra wide-angle 20mm focal length achieves rendering that reproduces the entire space visible to the naked eye, and enables photographic expression that harnesses perspective from a variety of angles
  • Shallow depth-of-field possible only with a maximum aperture of f/1.8 for smooth and beautiful blur characteristics that render subjects more impressively
  • Two aspherical lens elements, two ED lens elements, and Nano Crystal Coat adopted
  • Compact and lightweight for superior portability that makes the lens easy to take anywhere
  • Close-up photography is also possible with a closest focusing distance of 20 cm
