Nikkor Z 20 mm f/1,8 S

[55micro]

Pour Christopher Frost, cet objectif est le plus piqué de tous les 20mm qu'il a testés jusqu'à présent.

The Nikkor Z 20mm f/1.8 S is an excellent ultra-wide-angle lens that also illustrates the progress that lens design has made over the last few years.

In terms of resolution, the broader center quality is nothing short of outstanding at f/1.8. The borders are also impressively sharp whilst the corners are still very usable for applications such as astrophotography, where good corner sharpness is required. Stopping down boosts the corners to a very good level.

Image distortion is on a medium level and CAs are fairly well controlled even in RAW images. The only real weakness of the lens is vignetting which is very high in RAW images at large-aperture settings. Using software correction is advisable here.

A really surprising aspect is the high quality of the bokeh which is much smoother than what we have seen from other lenses in this class.

The build quality of the lens is on a very high level. There are some plastic parts on the lens body yet it feels sturdy and solid. Controls on the lens are reduced to a minimum with just an AF/MF switch and the focus-by-wire control ring. The latter works electronically with variable speed and can be customized to control a (small) selection of other functions.

The stepping AF motor is both fast and quiet.

While not cheap, it's quite obvious that the Nikkor Z 20mm f/1.8 S deserves our highest praise - highly recommended!
