A dedicated ultra-wide prime for landscape, architecture, astro and environmental portrait work on full-frame Nikon. The fast f/1.8 aperture is unusual for a 20mm and makes it a strong option for night-sky and low-light shooting.
Frequently asked questions
Will it autofocus on entry-level Nikon DSLRs (D3xxx / D5xxx)?
Yes. The built-in AF-S silent-wave motor handles autofocus in-lens, so this works on every Nikon F-mount DSLR including entry-level bodies.
Is this good for astrophotography?
Yes - f/1.8 at 20mm gives you a fast, wide field for the night sky, and ED glass plus Nano Crystal coating keep coma and flare under control.
Does this lens have image stabilisation?
No — this lens does not have image stabilisation.
