I seldom post on these forums because it seems like there is always someone being a jerk and making the experience less than pleasant. I think I will refrain from posting for a while. I have removed my images from this thread, sorry for the inconvenience.

Nice colors and mood Butch.
It doesn't look wide, did you crop?

Meh, so now I need to order this lens after seeing all of these great examples and the flickr sets with it.

I cropped slightly off the left and bottom, top and right side are full image. I also completely corrected the distortion in the lighthouse so it doesn't look like it is stretching into the corner. I don't use profiles, I do all the correction by hand. The light is 107 feet tall... so there was perspective distortion from pointing the lens upward and the usual stretched corner shape distortion. Here is the full image:


I don't mean to be rude, but I'm closely evaluating the Nikon 20/1.8 and I'm hoping that your first image is the one you 'corrected' because the 2nd image looks more natural - while it has some perspective 'distortion' the first one really looks weird and made me think twice about the lens.

This lens can't be found in Canada. That and the Sigma sport 150-600 seem to be fairly elusive

I find that FredMiranda is by far the most civil of the forums out there, and I scanned most of this thread and have only seen polite discourse and great images. I'm sorry you feel that way, but to be honest allowing others to remove your presence and the ability for us to appreciate your images seems unfortunate.

This thread has me debating my lens kit for my D700 as I switch from my D300s. I have a Tokina 11-16 f/2.8 DX, which is a poor man's 16mm f/2.8 prime on FX. I want something wide, but also wanting a reasonably fast walk-around (thinking 24-120 f/4). Might start a full thread with other bag implications, but thoughts??

I owned a 14mm 2.8, 14-24mm 2.8, 16-35VR, tokina 20-35mm 3.5-5.6, etc and I hated them all for one reason and that is the F-stop. Some of the 2.8 lenses were great but were heavy vignetters and were just "meh" for me. As soon as I got the 20mm 1.8G, I knew right off the bat it was for me and I will keep it for a long long time. It's amazing, sharp from 1.8 and I can shoot at night handheld without bumping up my ISO too much. it accepts 77mm filters which is another huge thing for me. It's light and focus is fast. For interiors, it's an amazing lens.

I got the 14mm Samyang and 28mm Nikkor-G while on the fence about this lens. I am not sure if I want to give up that useful combo, but shots like these are very persuasive. Nice work and good info regarding the comparison with what you have shot.

This lens still impossible to find in Canada...I had one on order but got tired of waiting so got my money back and will stick with using my 20mm/2.8D.
I think I'll get a 18-35mm G instead since I don't have a wide angle zoom for my full frame

No kidding! I've been waiting for my order since December. I locked in at a really good price, hopefully it comes soon.

I've owned a nikon 18-35G. It's a great lens for versality but if you do ANY type of interior work, I'd never get it. F/1.8 and f/3.5 is a huge difference.
