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 After buying three or four lens with packages the program software is outdated and included in most packages.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

One of the best prime lens under 1000$

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

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.

Stellar lens for in the water surf photography
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.

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.

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!

My two cents
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.
