What is everyone's favorite 20mm? I used to have a 20mm 3.5 Nikkor-UD and it was great, except for its propensity to flare. I'm looking at the 20 f/4 and 20 3.5 AIS, which one should I choose? I'm more concerned with central sharpness and colors, corners are not priority.

thanks

Hi Joseph, welcome back!

Long time ago I made a quick "battle" test (using D610) with my triade of 20's:

Nikkors-20mm-battle-THE-CONTENDERS by Jose, on Flickr

Sorry for the purists, but the UD and 2.8ais are CPU'd. Of course, consider the N=1 and copy variation could play a role here.



First at short distance, just bokeh test with all lenses wide open :

20mm-nikkors-@-30cm-focus-@-bokeh-test-@-wide-open by Jose, on Flickr


The general scene for infinity:

And the results:

Wide open
Nikkors-20mm-battle-at-infinity-WIDE-OPEN by Jose, on Flickr


f/8
Nikkors-20mm-battle-at-infinity-@f8 by Jose, on Flickr


Hope these can be useful.
