Nikon NIKKOR Z 20mm f/1.8 S 20mm
Its 14-element optical design with three ED and three aspherical elements delivers sharp, high-contrast images with minimal flare, thanks to Nano Crystal Coatings. The weather-sealed, 505g build combines a bright f/1.8 aperture with a programmable control ring for precise handling in challenging conditions. This lens is best for landscape and architecture photographers using Nikon Z cameras who need a compact, durable ultra-wide prime with strong edge-to-edge clarity.
