Nikon AF-S 20mm 1: 1.8 G ED Lens (Electronics)

Customer Review

This 1.8G is a bright and high-contrast lens. Much sharper than the 2.8 AF / AF-D both in the center and especially in the corners. Sharper than I recognize it from the comparison of both MTF charts. On my D800 brilliant at F4 and F5.6! Also F8 good, but at full resolution somewhat weaker. It must be borne in mind: full resolution means a photo print of about 2 meters wide. For A4 one notices no difference.

Nevertheless, I have it sent to Nikon for adjustment: at 1.8 and 100% resolution at 36 megapixels there is something wrong, confirmed by the Nikon service. Nikon will correct it. The whole gecroppt to 24 MP looked much better - only slight fading.

Why did not it returned and bought a new one? So I did not have good experiences: within a production tranche I had so far received only minor deviations. And always good experiences with the Nikon Service: the 28-ies and 50-ies 1.8G 1.8G. The 85 1.8G was flawless and had not corrected.

So that's the point deduction: Nikon should better factory provide good quality but to rely on the fact that it accept the customer already as it is. But beware: Canon is apparently no better, as I discovered at a 6D equipment with 3 fixed focal length once! Obviously, the camera market is under pressure, that is at least saved with consumer goods.

So whining at a high level and 4 stars! Strong buy recommendation!

Who is less demanding, is probably also good with the 20mm 2.8 AF deal! I at least thought about it to me a long time ....
