Nikon 20mm f/1.8G

Just announced. $800.

I've always wanted the 24mm f/1.4 but never wanted to pay for it. This one is a little wider and a lot cheaper!

Interesting...

I saw that. but I still like my 18-35 AF-D

It might be a really good lens. The older 20mm f/2.8 AF-D is a lens I owned for 10 years, and never really 'clicked' with, so I let my ex-wife have it after the divorce. Something makes me think this new 20mm lens might become popular. Probably the sheer f/1.8 speed and the wide FOV it gives will be popular with a lot of people who like low-light work and value high speed but not the $1600 price point of some other lenses. The auxiliary, $49.95 close-up lens for it is an interesting development.

WOAH time to replace my AF-D F2.8 20mm! But this is quite a bit more expensive.

I want one. Seems great for astro and wide angle close up artsy shots. It'd be great for some really unique shots. AND a LOT cheaper than the 24 1.4!

Don't be too quick now. Sigma & Tamron are sneaking in the background like the phantom playing the organ. Keep your other eye on them while you look at this, you want to have all the information before you make your decision.

I doubt I'll buy one until I can get it used.

It fills a much-needed gap... I think? But if it's anything like the 35mm 1.8G FX, or 28mm 1.8G FX lenses, it might be another crippled little piece of glass.
