Nikon 20mm f/2.8D shots.

I took a few test shots around the house this morning with the Nikon 20mm f2.8 lens before I had to head out for work.
Not much processing were done. Contrast, sharpening and a bit of shadow pulling . The colors were pretty much left alone. I am seriously impressed with the quality of this lens. The built, the IQ the colors. Fantastic. So far what I have seen, I would highly recommend this lens for anyone looking for a wide angle prime on limited funds.

I cant wait to take this lens through its paces this weekend, up in the mountains.

Does that lens need much work in post for distortion? I am supposing that LR or PS will have a profile it.

Lol knew you would love it buddy! Lol

PS. Don't forget the cpl filter on it is helping with those colors!

Lovely Pete,i had one on trial for a few days when i first got the camera,not being used to wide angle i struggled to enjoy it so returned it,are you going to make me wish i hadn't.

It automatically recognized the lens. I have LR import set up to automatically apply lens corrections and CA. I didn't do any further distortion corrections to this image.

Yes ,that is my evil plan. Also I was used to shooting with the Tokina 11-16mm on Emmylou, so i I learned a few things in that time . Shooting UWA takes a little practice, but it's really not rocket science. Once you figure out how to hold the camera in certain situations then it's a breeze. It just takes some experimenting.

Yes, it does help.

here is another.

It is not a big lens. Bigger than the 50mm 1.8D and a heavier. It balances out nice with the D750.
here are a couple of cell phone shots.

Well seeing your pics whets my appetite more for this lens. Thanks for sharing.

We just saw Dolly Parton in the buff!!!! OMG!

You must have a wide screen monitor or a two monitor set up

Not bad for an almost 100% crop of a butterfly/moth/flower shot. I was shooting some clouds on the side of the side road, when I saw this thing land right next to me. I said why not? A butterfly with a wide angle. LOL I may put it up in the post your before and after as well.
