p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Nikkor 24/2.8 Ai & Nikkor 20/3.5


Any of the members that own any of these two MF lenses would like to give their opinion?

I am interest in using either of them for landscapes and for close up photos.

I read that the 20/3.5 performs quite well with a small tube or even reversed.

Each seller is asking 75 USD for the 24/2.8 and 100 for the 20/3.5.

Is it a good deal? Are both very similar in performance or is it a good idea to get both of them since they are not so expensive? I would like to have quite a "collection" of MF Nikon glass and besides this 2 focal lengths, the 28mm would be next.

Thanks!

I use the 20mm 3.5 AIS and it is exquisite. Stopped down it's sharp for landscape and up close its sharp wide open. I had the 24mm 2.8 AIS and I loved it

The 24 is a pretty good lens and sounds like a good deal. The 20/3.5 is best at close range; not my choice for objects at distance, unlike the old 20/4 (its predecessor) which is probably better for landscape work at ƒ/8-11; a good lens but weaker in comparison to the 16-35, 17-35 and 14-24 zooms.

The 20/4 may be the smallest/lightest Nikkor AI lens ever made.
