Overview

The Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 20mm f/1.8G ED from Nikon is a wide-angle lens that is compatible with both full frame FX and DX crop sensor cameras. The fast f/1.8 maximum aperture allows a shallow depth of field for selective focus use, as well as shooting in low-light situations.

The lens provides a 94° angle of view (30mm, 70° equivalent on DX-format cameras), and has a minimum focus distance of 7.8″, allowing you to get close to your subject while isolating it from the background.

Two aspherical and two Extra-low Dispersion elements with Nano Crystal Coating reduce sagittal flare and chromatic aberration, producing sharp images throughout the frame. Nikon’s Rear Focusing System eliminates change in physical length of the lens when focusing. A Silent Wave Motor provides quick, near-silent autofocusing. A soft pouch and lens hood are included.

Zoe X. ★★★★★

This lens is incredibly sharp even wide open at f/1.8, which makes it perfect for indoor architecture shots. The silent autofocus is a huge plus for video work too.

Emma ★★★★★

I've been using this wide-angle for astrophotography and the f/1.8 aperture lets in so much light that I'm capturing details in the Milky Way I never saw before. The build feels solid on my camera and the focus ring is smooth, even in cold weather. It's quickly become my go-to for landscapes and nig

Miles ★★★★★

The lens is incredibly sharp edge-to-edge even wide open at f/1.8, which makes a huge difference for handheld interior shots. Autofocus is fast and quiet, and the build feels solid without being too heavy to carry around all day.
