AF-S NIKKOR 20mm f/1.8G ED overview
The Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 20mm f/1.8G ED is a 20mm f/1.8 prime for full-frame cameras on Nikon F, announced by Nikon in September 2014. 18 cameras we track take it without an adapter.
Going by its spec sheet, it suits landscapes and interiors as well as low light.
Stores we track in the United States list it, but none has it in stock today. It launched at $799.95.
Worth comparing it with the Laowa 15mm f/4 Wide Angle Macro and Laowa 15mm f/4.5 Zero-D Shift.
