    • Best astro/nightscape photography lens for the Nikon Z system
The image quality this lens produces is just phenomenal. The lens is well-built, lightweight, and compact. At its widest aperture of f/1.8, I did not need to crank up the ISO beyond 300–400 for bright and clear photos of the night sky. The images are sharp. The only reason I'm not going to keep it is because I am trading up to the 14–24 mm f/2.8 lens. I found the 20mm focal length a bit restrictive. Otherwise, for the money, this is a fantastic lens. ... show more

    • Nikon 20mm 1.8
I already had the Nikkor Z 24mm 1.8 and I was worried it would be redundant to get the 20mm as well, but that extra 4 millimeters actually makes a huge difference! I’m an event photographer and the 20mm is perfect for crowded dance floors. And of course Nikon quality is always well made and solid and the images are sharp even at 1.8. ... show more

    • Excellent Lens
Wonderful lens. Sharp to the edges; light weight and responsive. It’s a Nikon. I have used Nikon my whole career. Using on a Z9 primarily for astrophotography.

    • Works very well for Astro on Z7
Good: Sufficient sharp; low weight; goes smooth on Z7 compared to other Nikon lenses made in China; auto focus (pin point) on stars works very good; seems to meet typical MTF spec; only very corners soft at 1.8 - 5.6; top half was not as sharp as bottom half (no problem , if you set AF Fine Tune=OFF and use single point on your subject you will be fine or stay > =F5.6 for landscapes ), 77mm filters, in case you need it; close focus is excellent from 2-3 inches to inf, which is very important for wide angle lenses; good color representation. Expensive compared to the F 20mm/1.8 Used before. Good for my friends to use - best 20mm Nikon lens IMO (50mm Z is still a little better) Sharpness doesn't make good pictures (may be more so in astro-photography). ... show more

    • Nikon 20mm 1.8 z lens vs Sigma 14-24mm 2.8 for Astro/milky way
I just bought both lenses to try for astrophotography and milky way photos. The Nikon z 20mm lens is very sharp and great for the stars. It is much lighter and smaller than the Sigma lens and can also be used for daytime landscapes. The pictures from the Sigma 14-24mm were comparable in sharpness for stars and low light. Benefit of Nikon Z lens 20mm is that it much smaller and lighter 1.2lb than the Sigma lens 2.5lb. Also, it takes a 77mm filter which is easier to find. The Sigma needs a huge filter if you can find one. Also, the Nikon Z lens fits in a camera bag easily. The Sigma doesn't. The Sigma lens is a huge lens and doesn't really fit in a camera bag and weighs as much as the Nikon Z6 ii camera itself. The benefit of the Sigma lens is that at 14mm it captures 25% more milky way and sky than the Nikon 20mm lens. You would have a hard time carrying the Sigma 14-24mm lens during the day without your arm getting tired. Also, the Sigma lens only fits on an FTZ adapter and the adapter is hard to put on the Z6 camera while its on a tripod. You have to take the camera off the tripod to put the adapter on and the Sigma lens on, which is a pain and can force you to re-polar align again if you use a star tracker. However, most pictures of milky way with the Z 20mm lens cut off part of the milky way. They seem to capture mainly the galactic core and not much else. The Sigma captures much more of the milky way and sky. So its a trade off between the 2 lenses. I am trying to decide which lens to keep and which lens to return. Tough choice. ... show more
