Robert wrote: Graham, had you seriously considered the Nikkor 2.8 20mm, it's an outstanding lens with minimal distortion. My AFD version of this lens is very very sharp. Current prices for the AFD version are £270ish.

Thanks for the help I had a 20mm f2.8 but traded it in with my 14mm when I got the 14-24 f2.8 AF-S perhaps mine was an also ran or an older model I found the Auto Focus poor with my then D2X, and sharpness only came in fully at f8. I have now seen some good results from the new f1.8 20mm and have spoken to a friend who has one so I have now put in my order.

Lens arrive today light very poor but here is first image. Nikon 810 400 ISO 1/125 at f2.8. No distortion or colour fringing looks very sharp. Auto focus is very quick. Attachment: New 20mm Lens 165.jpg (Downloaded 36 times)

Grahsm, Glad you like it re: focus speed. Consider that (as with most wide-angles) there is only a very small mass of glass to move during AF operation. Compare that ea. to the latest 50 1.4 and 85 1.4 lenses, they are are labeled AF-S, but AF can feel slow due to the mass being moved. Regards etc. Gilbert.

The compact size and just over 300g weight means you hardly notice it in the camera bag compared with the 14-24! Also since FX I find for my w/a needs 20mm is all I use!

Took a shot with my Sigma 12-24 at 20mm to compare. Distortion, twisting vertical lines inward. Your Nikkor 20mm f1.8G ED pix shows good edge verticals.

Mike, I also have the Sigma 12-24mm but since it is a FF lens that 12mm is very very wide (and a little soft at the edges) but nice to have for those rare occasions.

We had a Green Christmas in Southern Ontario this year, not a flake of snow. Without 20 to 30 cm of snow there little outdoor recreation available for the holidays;~(
