MY REVIEW ABOUT THIS LENSThe Nikkor 20mm f/2.8 is quite sharp but equipped with some flaws. According to IMATEST results, barrel distortion is 2,3% , very high for field conditions. Vignetting is also high at widest aperture, but not field relevant after f/4. MTF Resolution results are excellent starting from f/4. Chromatic Aberrations are field relevant. (limit is 1 pixel, test results are around 2 pixel)
PAY ATTENTION :
- Very high barrel distortion for a fixed focal length lens.
- Very high CA's for a prime lens.
- A good lens in the film era, but not good for D-SLR's
VERDICT : It is not a cheap lens with a lot of flaws. It's compact and lightweight design can be attractive only.. Recommended (7/10)

This is a fine Nikon lens made in Japan, very quality built, a trust-worthy kind of lens that will last for a life time. It is very sharp and fast, colors are warm and fine, and the frame is just ridiculously wide if you use it on a film or FX. This is a perfect choice for those who would like to have an extraordinary wide, fast and quality prime lens for less money.
