NIKON NIKKOR Z 20mm f/1.8 S Ultra Wide Angle Fast Prime Lens for Nikon Z Mirrorless Cameras

Initially I was put off by the length of this lens, but it is giving me beautiful results. I threw it on my Z7 during lockdown, and the first image I took won a National comp, so very impressed with what it can produce. It is very sharp edge to edge, and at 1.8 has pleasing bokeh. This is the first 20mm prime I’ve owned, and I have to admit I can now understand what all the fuss it about. Highly recommended.

Very sharp, very-good coma characteristics. Light weight and takes filters. If you do a lot of landscape photography this is a fantastic lens. I reach for this more than the Sigma 14mm 1.8 art lens which is wider and allows for longer exposures of the milky way, and I reach for this more than the Sigma 40mm 1.4 art and Nikon 50mm 1.8 s lens which have (slightly) better coma performance wide open but not always the right view for captures with a lot of the milky way galactic core and arm. Im very much a beginner but this lens really opens up a lot of possibilities.

Muy ligero y luminoso

Use for landscape and 1.8F allows excellent results in low light environment.

I have the old version 20 f1.8G. Comparing to the old one, this Z lens is extremely sharp from corner to corner even in F1.8, which makes it a perfect lens for astrophotography. Of course you can use it for landscape or under any low light condition. I also have the Z 35 f1.8, but honestly if this 20mm f1.8 is coming out first, I will definitely get this one instead of the 35 f1.8, wider is always better. Overall I think this Z lens is beyond my expectation and I am happy to have it!

Im an astrophotographer and this lens has completed my lens collection. Excellent quality for night-time shooting. Worth the extra money to get this

I did a lot of lens research after moving into the Z system (Z6ii) as I love to shoot the Milky Way. It was between this and the 14-24 2.8. Besides the cost difference, I loved the additional light that the 1.8 could bring. This lens also got great reviews everywhere, and after using it, I can see why. Even wide open at 1.8, I’m very happy with coma, ca, corners, etc. I was worried about focus by wire, and while I don’t love it, I’ve found the adjustment to be easier than expected. Results are light years beyond my crop sensor days. I would easily recommend this lens for anyone with similar interests.

My new go to wide angle. It performs beautifully for both landscapes and nightscapes. Learning how to photograph the Milky Way and this lens makes it simple.

I like that this lens opens to 1.8. Had the z14-30mm lens but I like this one far better.

The 20mm f1.8 is just another world leading Z-S lens. It is razor sharp, center to corners, wide open! It controls all the usual lens aberrations. Bokeh is smooth and creamy, for a 20mm lens. Build quality is top notch, and it is weather sealed. Whats not to like?
