I had two of these lenses. The first copy was the reason for the second copy. I sold the first, and when I couldn't find another 20mm for that amazing price I bought it for, I tried a 18-35mm from Nikon. That lens just made me miss my 20mm. Like the pro's state, its one of those gem lenses where it does everything great. Its a wide-angle, so no VR is really needed. Its very sharp, very light, and very handy. As I am writing this, I am looking for another one

Pros:
|
Sharp from 1.8, very close focus distance
|
|
Cons:
|
20mm of FF might be too wide
|
|
|
This is great lens. Sharp from f 1.8 and super sharp at f8 or 11. It renders very nicely and is perfect choice for landscape photography. My only issue is that sometimes 20mm on FF is way too wide and i don't use it as much as i though i will.

I have used 20mm lenses for landscape for years and the f/1.8 is a great one, particularly when you take into account its price.
The lens is super sharp upto f/14. I shoot Landscapes at f/11 so perfect for me. It is also my no-one walk about lens on a stripped down D810.
The Nikon 24mm/1.8G is said to be sharper, it is, but the field of view is simply not as appealing for me.
The much larger, heavier and more expensive Sigma Art 20mm f/1.4 is wonderful, but so much more lens.

Pros:
|
Sharp, Great Global Contrast, Nice Colours, Good AF, Light, Amazing Flare Resistance, Etc...
|
|
Cons:
|
Plastic Build Quality, Corners Aren't Perfect
|
|
|
This is by far the best wide angle lens for the price point. The global contrast and colours are excellent. It's sharp in the center, but unfortunately it isn't as good as my 14-24 in the corners. It has excellent flare resistance and I'm not afraid to shoot with the sun in the frame.
What I don't like is the corner performance. I thought the corners of this lens would be better than my 14-24, unfortunately they're not. However, they are better than all the previous 20mm lenses Nikon has made, which is a good thing.
I bought this lens to use with the sun in the frame for landscapes, it's excellent in this regard.
I do recommend this lens, especially for the price point.

If you are looking for a lens in this focal length, you will not be disappointed with this one.
Have been enjoying this lens since I bought it two weeks ago. It's sharp at 2.8 on my D600, tack sharp at F 4.
Lighter and easier to carry around than my 16-35, it's a keeper.
