Best Pick

Nikon NIKKOR AF-S 20mm f/1.8G ED

79.4 Landscape Score
20mm f/1.8 Nikon F Weather Sealed
Why we recommend this

Its f/1.8 maximum aperture and inclusion of two ED and two aspherical elements deliver sharp, low-light performance with minimal aberrations. The relatively lightweight 355g build and Nano Crystal Coatings enhance handling and reduce flare for a versatile prime. This lens is best for landscape and architectural photographers needing a wide, fast prime for Nikon F-mount full-frame cameras.

It's best suited for portrait photographers and creative videographers specifically seeking that pronounced, vintage-inspired bokeh aesthetic in their work.
