The 20mm 1.8mm is the first ultra wide prime lens that I have owned. I was a little hesitant about the purchase due to the length of the lens for a prime. In handling the lens after purchasing I have decided that it handles very nicely. It takes up only a little more space in my bag than I would like but it is still plenty compact when considering the image quality and handling. I went with the 20mm over the 24mm because I wanted that bit of extra width in the images for interiors and landscape. I feel the 20mm focal length offers something unique as there are many more photographs taken at 24mm. Sure there is a some distortion that you have to watch for when using this lens for events and photographs of people; however, with a bit of mindfulness you can use the unique look to your advantage and produce something really interesting. I tested the lens out for a professional job shortly after receiving it. The shoot was a sweet 16 party and this lens produced some of the best dance floor and large group photos I've ever taken. The colors and contrast this lens produces are beautiful and the lens focusing is very quick and accurate. I have solid confidence in this lens for professional use. It pairs really nicely with the 50mm 1.8 for events. Note: When shooting the sweet 16 I was able to shoot mostly in the f 1.8 to 2.5 aperture range with perfectly sharp rendering. The wide focal length at this aperture allows for a great natural fall off bokeh while retaining enough background information to show context. I also took the 20mm 1.8 out and about on our farmland to do some informal landscape photography. Again the colors and contrast this lens produced are among the best I've ever gotten from any camera lens.

Absolutely incredible image quality, wish it was a bit smaller but it is very light. Can't wait to get out and do some milky way and lightning shots. Not sure I really love the new Z lens covers either. They are harder to pinch without slipping than the older F mount covers were.

Amazing speed, sharpness, and bokeh. The design and durability of the lens feels great in hand. I love this lens. I personally prefer panorama images using this 20mm lens vs a singular image using a wider angle lens.

My first large aperture wide angle lens ever and I just love the image quality. This gives me more options for applying my creativity and expanding my ideas. My first impression was how this did not necessarily require me to raise my camera's ISO for a low light shot. Also having sharpness across the entire frame is so impressive too.

Lens is fantastic. Adorama is total garbage. $30 for overnight shipping that didn't show up for 3 days, no update or tracking info. Should have just stuck with B&H... last time I make this mistake.

Really enjoying this lens. Fast and shape. Great for landscape and Milky Way images. Nice feel in the hand and light weight.

It?s exactly what it should be? not too heavy, sharpest 20mm I?ve ever used, and great in low light. What more could you want.

Absolutely love this lens. Takes great photos and does beautiful natural light flares. From my pups, flowers, and landscapes, I'm not disappointed. Also used an IR filter and the images turned out great.

This lens is amazing, no distortion and consistently fast. I've been using it for wide angle street photos and will be trying it soon for indoor real estate.

I got this 20mm 1.8 S for video use, I use my 14-30mm for landscapes. Face tracking is so much quicker and accurate on the Z cameras with native lenses. This lens is fantastic, super sharp and proveides lovely backgrounds when used wide open. I am looking forward to trying this lens out this summer for some astro photography.

I love this lens! My favorite subjects are astronomy and landscape. Sadly, it has made me regret buying the 35mm. Just don’t use that one anymore.

The new Z line 20mm 1.8 S as well as all the other Z line primes which I own as well, blow the F mount equivalents away which I also posess, from CA, color fringing, ghosting, flaring, rendering, micro contrast and center to edge sharpness, there is no comparison! These new Z lenses from Nikon are as good as Zeiss Otis, or better IMO! Simply amazing! Nikon is back with a vengeance!

This is one of the many reasons you buy a Z camera---the GLASS Like all the lenses that have come out for the Z, this too is a great lens.

Wow a great wide angle view with such a great maximum aperture. Why increase noise with high ISO when you don't need to! Now this is photography! I will love using this lens all the time.

Like my other "Z" lenses, this 20mm is remarkably SHARP! I plan to use this lens specifically for astrophotography and hopefully Northern Lights in Canada this year.

Optically, this lens is great. The weight is fine. The only complaint I have with this lens (an all the Nikon Z-mount f/1.8 primes) is that they are so long. Why so big?

Excellent lens very sharp corner to corner. Really great pictures. Adorama has always been a very good company for me.

Amazing piece of glass ! Yes its a lot bigger than expected but it excels in corner to corner sharpness. Very happy shopper.
