Capture More

Capture more of the world with stunning, lifelike detail using the Nikon Z 20mm f/1.8 S lens. This fast, ultrawide-angle prime lens takes in more than the eye can see, brilliantly reproducing vast landscapes, captivating shallow-focus close-ups and awe-inspiring astro photography. With minimal distortion and sagittal coma flare even at the edges of the frame, the Nikon Z 20mm f/1.8 S lens captures even small points like stars as they appear in reality.

Outstanding Optics at Any Setting

The Nikon Z 20mm f/1.8 S lens delivers outstanding optical performance from the centre to the edge of each image, even at its widest f1.8 aperture. Its multi-focusing system offers enhanced image quality and higher autofocus (AF) speed and precision at close distances, giving you maximum sharpness throughout the shooting range. Three extra-low dispersion (ED) glass elements effectively compensate axial chromatic aberration for crisp imagery with no colour fringing. Freely capture backlit scenes without worrying about the lighting, thanks to a Nano Crystal Coat that reduces ghost and flare effects from direct light sources.

Smooth & Subtle Video Performance

Get exceptional results whether shooting stills or video. The Nikon Z 20mm f/1.8 S lens offers smooth, subtle movie recording with the help of a stepping motor (STM), electromagnetic diaphragm mechanism and clickless control ring, which prevents operation noise from being recorded. The lens also ensures natural shifts in focus and exposure, even during continuous shooting. Quickly and easily access the functions you need using the multi-purpose control ring, which can be customised to adjust focus, ISO, aperture, or exposure compensation. 

Focus-Breathing Reduction

When you adjust focus, the angle of view shifts slightly. The Nikon Z 20mm f/1.8 S lens reduces this shifting, allowing you to alter your focus point without noticeably altering your composition. This is especially helpful for videographers, and landscape photographers who use focus stacking.

Free to Explore

The Nikon Z 20mm f/1.8 S is a lens with which you can freely explore. Compact and lightweight, it’s ideal for hiking and travel photography. Dust- and drip-resistant seals, and a water-, oil- and dirt-repelling fluorine coat equip this lens for almost any shooting environment, from snowdrifts to desert dunes.
