I have 20mm f2.8 which is provide best 35mm performance from all my lenses. I expect same from your 20mm f4.

Rockwell's positive review was a conditional one; he had 2 samples, one was a dog. Another reviewer, http://www.momentcorp.com/review/nikon_20mm_f4_review.html went through 3 copies before he found a good one. Seems like a lens with much sample to sample variation. The unpleasant though authoritative Bjorn Rorslett wasn't overwhelmed by it either.
On the positive side, it was the preferred landscape lens of the late Galen Rowell, noted nature photographer. |
