Been playing around with the Nikon 20mm 1.8g and D810.
My goal has been to capture a dreamy art look with long exposures.
So been driving around Hawaii and looking for interesting shots along the beach.
The fist two on Oahu and the last is an early morning shot of Hanalei Pier in Kauai.

Gee Joe that is dreamy and stunning. Out of curiosity what types of filters are best, the screw in B+W type for example or the LEE system? Also with respect to the D810 is diffraction at smaller apertures really something to be concious of, is there a max f stop one should be setting as a limit or not?

Thanks.

Thank you. I primarily use a B+W 10 stop and Singh Ray 15 stop. Not sure if they are the best, but they seem to work. Haven't really noticed diffraction as an issue but I've rarely shot past f/11. Just started doing this recently so lots for me to learn.

Outstanding shot Matthew! Interesting is quite an understatement.
Did you crop much or is this valley that vast? Beautiful work.

Taken in Rocky Mountain National Park last fall at sunrise on my D810. Half Grad used over the top half of the scene. Processed on Lightroom.

About to pull the trigger on the Tamron 15-30mm 2.8 VC or the crazy Sigma 20mm 1.4.
But i do want to get this Nikon 20mm 1.8G also! Why pick the 20 1.8g over the above two? Reliable AF?

Sharp. Cheap. Light. Latest optics of the awesome 1.8G lineup. Accepts 77mm filters. AF is superb. Nano coated.

Considering this lens the 24 1.8 or 28 1.8. Since this is the 20 1.8 thread, has anyone used the other two I'm considering? My current bag has a 50 1.4, 16-35 f4, and 70-200v2 and am looking for something to annoy my GF with at restaurants/bars. Being foodies, we frequent some neat restaurants and it's making me want to lug the D750 around. Right now, the 16-35 isn't fast enough and the 50 isn't wide enough. Thoughts?
