A wider, faster, and sharper lens ever for the Z camera
My first large aperture wide angle lens ever and I just love the image quality. This gives me more options for applying my creativity and expanding my ideas. My first impression was how this did not necessarily require me to raise my camera's ISO for a low light shot. Also having sharpness across the entire frame is so impressive too. Mounting the lens is easy which allows me to concentrate on my subject and composition.
Optical quality better than Nikon AF-S Nikkor 20mm f/1.8G ED lens. Both Z & G versions, no built-in VR (vibration reduction), but, Nikon Z cameras have built-in VR. Helps produce sharper images. Nikon Z lens bodies are minimalist design. Raised lens alignment mark helps w/finding where to align lens mount to camera (by sight + feel). White characters on the lens body are recessed (like manual lenses) and not easily rubbed off like on AF-S lenses+front cap. Focus ring not rubber-won't degenerate.
