[QUOTE="hark, post: 616406, member: 13196"] I had a 20mm f/2.8 Nikon prime, but I much prefer my Nikon 18-35mm f/3.5-4.5G lens which is far more versatile. Since you already own a wide angle zoom, you simply would be overlapping the same range if you go with a 20mm prime. Granted one gives you an extra stop, but why not consider something in a range you don't already own? You mentioned a 14mm rectilinear prime. I bought a pre-owned Nikon 14mm f/2.8 and love it. I *think* Sigma makes something comparable in a prime. I also tried out a pre-owned Tamron 14mm which wasn't nearly as good as either the Nikon or the Sigma. You have an FX body so a 14mm prime is considered an ultra wide (17mm and 18mm on an FX body are considered to be wide angle, not ultra wide). 14mm lenses are terrific for Milky Way images and stars. Just a thought. ;) [/QUOTE]
