The Nikon Nikkor Z 20mm F1.8 S lens is a bright prime with an extra-wide view, making it a good fit for astro, landscape, and architectural specialists.

Ultra-wide field of view. Wide aperture. 7.8-inch close focus.

weak image quality on the edge of the frame,, high chromatic aberration,, noticeable distortion,, visible coma,, high vignetting,, steep price.

This summary will be exceptionally short. A very unfavourable pros to cons ratio in the case of a lens with the price tag of 520 $ should definitely put us off the purchase very effectively. As a consolation for the Nikon fans we can add that the Canon...
