Lens Description: Combining the unique, ultra-wide perspective of a 20mm prime with the speed and low light capabilities of an f/1.8 maximum aperture, the NIKKOR Z 20mm f/1.8 S brings beautiful context to your full-frame lens arsenal. Its angle of view excels at landscape and wide interior shooting, while its speed makes it superb for environmental portraits with lush, soft backgrounds and low light shots that are sharp and clean with faithful point light reproduction. And the NIKKOR Z 20mm f/1.8 S is truly cinematic with video enhancements that ensure silent autofocusing without breathing, and smooth aperture and ISO control.
Photography Life Review Summary: Overall, the Nikon Z 20mm f/1.8 S is a marvelous lens with a superb optical performance that leaves all other 20mm lenses I have previously tested in the dust. With very few optical issues and aberrations to worry about, great build quality, and excellent weather sealing, it is one of the finest lenses I have been fortunate to use in my photographic career. If you need an ultra-wide angle lens for your Z camera, don’t hesitate to buy this lens – it is worth every penny! Read the full Nikon NIKKOR Z 20mm f/1.8 S Review by Photography Life.
