## Overview

The Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 20mm f/1.8G ED is a compact, ultra-wide prime lens engineered for FX-format cameras, featuring a fast f/1.8 aperture, advanced optical elements including ED and aspherical glass, and a silent autofocus motor. It excels in low-light, landscape, street, and cinematic photography, delivering sharp, distortion-controlled images with smooth bokeh—all in a lightweight, portable form factor.

## Description

With a dynamic ultra-wide-angle perspective and fast f/1.8 maximum aperture, this FX-format prime lens is ideal when you want to exaggerate perspectives, expand space, and capture immersive images. The bright aperture delivers shallow depth of field, plus smooth bokeh, and ensures this lens excels in low-light settings. High-performance optics deliver edge-to-edge sharpness with minimal distortion, and the compact, lightweight design ensures easy portability. Immersive perspective The NIKKOR 20mm f/1.8 delivers superb performance in a broad range of situations. Compact and versatile, this lens is well suited to interiors, street reportage, broad landscapes, and even underwater photography, and it's a great choice for filming immersive movie scenes. Photographers who want to draw the viewer in, or who want the flexibility to shoot in confined spaces, can take full advantage of the 20 mm focal length and the ultra-wide-angle of view to create arresting images. The fast f/1.8 maximum aperture and superb light gathering capability of this lens enable distinctive subject/background separation and beautifully smooth bokeh. Photographers get the flexibility to shoot with faster shutter speeds and attain clear shots in low light, in addition to benefitting from a brighter viewfinder image. Autofocus is smooth, quiet, and swift, thanks to Nikon's Silent Wave Motor (SWM), and the minimum focus distance is 0.2 m, making it easy to get in close and have subjects fill the frame. High-resolution images Engineered to accommodate the high-resolution demands of modern sensors, the new NIKKOR 20mm f/1.8 enables stunning photos and HD videos. The modern optical design features 13 elements in 11 groups, including two Extra-low Dispersion (ED) glass elements and two aspherical lens elements (AS). Nikon's ED glass ensures sharpness and contrast even at larger apertures, and the AS elements ensure distortion is exceptionally well controlled for such a wide focal length. Nano Crystal Coat minimises ghosting and flare. Stress-free portability Lightweight, compact, and fast, this lens is ideal for photographers ready to get close and capture dynamic images from a variety of locations. Weighing in at just 355g, it's incredibly portable and extremely comfortable to use handheld. Optimised for FX-format sensors, the AF-S NIKKOR 20mm f/1.8G ED offers a wide 30 mm angle of view when used with a DX-format D-SLR. The AF-S NIKKOR 20mm f/1.8G ED comes with the CL-1015 Flexible Lens Pouch and the HB-72 Lens Hood.

Review: Does what it says on the ‘tin’! - Good value product, colours are rendered nicely when paired with pro filter. Sharp edge to edge (even open wide at infinity compared to 2.8G 14-24) plus light weight so can carry with kids in tow. Perfect for low light hand held and can crop to suit if necessary (although I prefer to shoot first time and capture subject in context). Bokeh is nice if subject is very close!
Review: Super Sharp - Not a scientific judgement here, but what has amazed me with this lens is that I have seen things zooming in in post processing that I could not see with the naked eye at the time. It's like going back to the place I took the photo with a pair of virtual binoculars. Given it's wide angle, that was a surprise and is not something I could do with less capable lenses. Now these are details I won't see in the final print unless I go very, very big (I am zooming in on a 4k 27" monitor). But it tells me two things - I am sharp well beyond where I need in most cases, which I prefer. And if see a better tighter crop after the fact, I can crop in and it will still be sharp. If I had a D810, that would be even more useful, but even at 24MP on a D750 it helps. Compared to the ubiquitous 18-200 for example (on a D7100), this 20mm is very much better in the final analysis. Sharpness is only one aspect of performance of course, although perceived sharpness is affected by several things (like contrast, chromatic aberration etc), so overall quality may be in part responsible for this sense of sharpness. For astro you do need to find the focus point by manual means - several ways to do it. Nikon recommend auto focusing in daylight, switching the lens to manual and taping the focus ring with masking tape to stop it getting knocked.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does the lens fit on a Nikon d3400**
A: Yes, it's an F-Mount which is the mount on the D3400. It will be the equivalent of 35mm on the D3400 though. Quite an expensive lens to just get 20mm on a DX body. For this price you might want to look at the Sigma 10-20mm or the Nikon 10-24mm roundabout a similar price but you will be able to go really wide. This 20mm is an FX format pro lens for specialist wide work hence the gold ring around the lens and the Nano Crystal Coating.

**Q: What the difference between this lens and this: https://www.amazon.co.uk/nikon-313032-20-1-8-af-s-ed/dp/b017im6nfs/ref=sr_1_2?crid=kyzio40q70ty&keywor**
A: The link doesn't work, the lens you mention is brilliant, don't think about it just buy.

**Q: Any one used this on a z6 or z7 via the ftz how did it preform?**
A: I used it on my Z6 and it worked well. To be honest I have not had time to use it extensively but the results were as good as my D850 and D5.

**Q: Will this fit a Nikon D7000?**
A: Yes it will fit BUT in some ways you are wasting your money as the f1.8 (a fantastic lens) is an FX lens for full frame cameras. However, the D7000 is a DX camera and you will not get 20mm and it is not really designed for your sensor.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Better than the 14-24 f/2.8 & the Zeiss 21mm
*by C***Y on 30 April 2016*

BEAUTIFUL Professional untra wide, I'm a professional and have used many lenses in this focal range, and this is the singular standout for optical quality. It's also small, light, and takes filters. The disadvantage of all this amazingness is the fragility, it won't take a fall well but it's a third of the price of an inferior 14-24 so I'm glad all the money was spent on the optical design and lens elements.
