After I dropped and broke my Nikkor K-version 20mm and sold my Nikkor-UD, I picked up this lens. It's pretty good from about 100 feet on in, but at infinity is a bit dicey.

The 20mm on a Nikon F2 with Kodacolor 400 film.

One of my favorite lenses. I also have the same issue with infinity. It's wonderful at closer ranges but gets soft with distance. I like using it with a K1 extension ring for close up work. I like the 20mm/K1 perspective. One of the best lenses I've found for shooting directly into the sun. Also works very well on my IR converted Nikon D100.

I shot some film this week with this lens and liked the results. This is Fujicolor 200 in a Nikon FM.
