I've been shooting photography most of my adult life. It started with an on sale Nikon D3200 that wasn't even interested in using, all the way through being a photography business owner, teacher, and KZread Photography Content Creator.
My favorite subjects are Human Portraits and Shallow Depth of Field with my specialty, or claim to fame if you will, being Dramatic Nude and Bodyscape. Over my many years of photography I've mastered many genres but I never stop learning and I don't want you to stop either. That's why I started my KZread Channel in the year 2020. After a hiatus from photography, I picked up my camera again just in time for the Covid Pandemic. The world shut down. With more time than ever and no humans to photograph I found myself bored but motivated. ZWade Photo, the KZread Channel, was born.
I have always been a Nikon brand photographer, but in my community on KZread there is limitless room for Canon, Sony, Fuji, Leica, Hasselblad, Nikon, AND any other brand, photographers. Follow along as this channel one day grows into the biggest, most honest, and most fun photography community on the internet.

Great lens! 2nd time around for me. Had the f mount and upgraded to the Z mount then sold it after I got a fantastic deal on the 14-30. After a year of using the 14-30 I just sold that off to get the 20mm z back in my bag. It’s a keeper.

I have exactily this combo (Z5 with the 20 mm) and it serves me well. When I bought it, I was mesmerised by the quality, so I would recommend it to anyone who thinkin about to get one. It was a great investment in the long run too. The only con is really the size of this thing, but it don't bother me.

I have the 20mm and it spends a lot of time on my Z5. I love all of my Z lenses, but the 20mm f1.8 and 24-120mm f4 are my favorites. Great review 👍

Looking for my next lens and this might be it. I need something fast and wide for indoor Rock and Roll photo's. Or, for indoor shots, would the 50mm 1.2 be that much better? 20mm might be the secret sauce? I have the 14-24 F2.8, but every stop counts when in low light.

I seriously have a direct comparison lined up between 14-24 2.8 and 20 1.8. It’s not supposed to release until this Sunday. The week after that, a comparison with the 24-70 vs 50 1.2. How soon are you wanting to buy?

I'd be interested, if it has any Coma. This is kinda visible with the F-Mount variant wide open when I do night sky photography. It is not bad, but I prefer to stop it down to f2.2. Thanks for the test!

It works great with the Z5! I don’t shoot hardly any Astro. I have friends that do enjoy this this for Astro though!
Sounds like a great lens. I hesitate, though. I mainly shoot landscapes and seascapes with a z5 and a 24-70 f4. Should I buy the 20 mm z 1.8 or the 14-30 z f4?

The 14-30 is a fine enough lens, absolutely great actually. But the 20mm is probably too 3 best lenses in the Z line up
What's up with Adorama lately. They shipped an empty box to me after I ordered a softbox. lol, congrats on the 20mm Z. I was looking at this lens for a while but never pulled the trigger.

You sold me on the lens to get next for the Z5 I've ordered with the 50mm 1.8. Was considering the 14-30 f4 but the 20mm really is impressive even wide open and I'd like to do some astro with it too and the bokeh looks nice and would make the lens superior to the 14-30 in non landscape shots where you might want subject separation.

What you looking to use your 20 1.8 on? I never really use the wider end of lenses. I need to break out of my 24-70 prison 😅 i did get the 105 macro when it first came out and that lense has pop to it that i notice every single time i use it. I would ultimately like a 85 1.2 as i feel 105 is too flattening for my personal taste.

@@ZWadePhoto 👌 Wide angle portraits really put alot of emphasis on the location. Areas around my neighborhood aren't too photogenic so i have to do more focus on the subject and blur the background 😅 maybe if i lived in a nicer location it would draw me to wider angle lenses, interesting. I have been doing astrophotography every now and then and would love to see a 1.8 prime and how it affects my exposure settings. Good luck with your new prime! I hope to get my 50 1.2 soon. 🤞 and now kidding about the cold wind oof!

I look at this lens from time to time but I have held off buying one because my interest in it would be for Astro photography which is one Genre of photography I have yet to pursue. Due to light pollution I don't live in the best environment for using it unless I'm on a trip. Hope you get a bit of use out of it and enjoy it, thanks for sharing.

@@ZWadePhoto that would be cool. I’m thinking of it for use with environmental portraits so 20mm maybe too wide but I’m just not sure.
No joke Zwade, I am no longer ordering from adorama because their packaging on lenses is poor compared to b & h. Because of this fact alone I am ordering from b&h moving forward. I have had some printer paper ruined from adorama packaging and it was a hassle to get them to make it right.
