One Hour. One Expert. The Right Gear.
Photography in Good Company
Expansive. Expressive. Engineered for Light.
The NIKKOR Z 20mm f/1.8 S is a full-frame prime that invites you to step into wide-angle storytelling with clarity, character, and complete creative control. Designed for Nikon’s Z-series mirrorless system, this lens offers a dynamic 20mm field of view with a bright f/1.8 aperture—ideal for everything from dramatic landscapes and night skies to environmental portraits and immersive video.
This isn’t your average wide. The S-line optical design features aspherical elements and ED glass that work together to deliver remarkable edge-to-edge sharpness, virtually no distortion, and natural color rendition—even at wide-open apertures. Whether you’re chasing golden hour light or working in dim interiors, the fast f/1.8 aperture gathers light beautifully and lets you isolate your subject with a surprising sense of depth and softness in the background.
Autofocus is smooth, fast, and near-silent thanks to Nikon’s stepping motor—making it equally at home in still photography and video production. The focus breathing is minimized for cinematic consistency, and the custom control ring lets you assign aperture, ISO, or manual focus for an intuitive, tactile shooting experience.
Built to match the needs of professionals and passionate creators alike, the 20mm f/1.8 S features robust weather-sealing, a rugged build, and a clean, modern design that balances beautifully on Z-series bodies.
Key Features:
-
Ultra-wide 20mm focal length with minimal distortion
-
Fast f/1.8 maximum aperture for low light and creative depth
-
Edge-to-edge sharpness with advanced S-line optics
-
Stepping motor for quiet, accurate autofocus
