About the Nikon AF-S Nikkor 20mm f/1.8G ED

Dave Bar

Sharp wide-angle performance in almost any light

A rocky, windswept coastline. New York City at night. A ballroom full of dancers at your daughter's wedding. You can capture it all with this fast, ultra-wide 20mm Nikon lens. Its impressive low-light capabilities provide nearly endless opportunities for shooting rich, natural-looking images — indoors and out — without the need for a flash. Superb Nikon optics and a large maximum aperture let you closely control depth of field while taking tack-sharp wide-angle photos, even when shooting wide-open at f/1.8. A perfect match for FX-format Nikon SLRs, this compact, lightweight lens also works great with DX-format cams.

Features

Overview: The Nikon AF-S Nikkor 20mm f/1.8G ED lens is an ultra-wide angle prime lens. It is optimized for FX-format cameras, but can be used with DX-format cameras (30mm equivalent). It is ideal for landscapes and architecture, wedding parties, concerts, crowd shots, and more. The lens comes with the HB-72 lens hood and the CL-1015 Soft lens case.

Silent Wave Motor (SWM): The exclusive Nikon Silent Wave Motor (SWM) enables fast, accurate, and quiet auto focus.

Focus Mode Switch: The Focus Mode switch on the barrel of the lens lets you easily switch between manual focus and auto focus. If you want to enable auto focusing, the camera must be set to Auto Focus, and the switch on the lens needs to be set to "M/A". With most Nikon D-SLRs, the lens gives you a manual override option, allowing you to rotate the separate focus ring while pressing the shutter release halfway.

Diaphragm: The lens is equipped with a rounded 7-blade diaphragm.

Q
Is this lens compatible to the Nikon D3100?
william  Feb 06, 2016
1 answer
A
This Nikon AF-S Nikkor 20mm lens is not listed as compatible with the Nikon D3100 camera in our research. The D3100 was discontinued in our database before this lens was released though, so it's possible they would still work, we just don't have any info on confirmed compatibility. To find out for sure, your best bet would be to contact Nikon's Support directly at 800-645-6687. I hope that helps! My Bio: http://www.crutchfield.com/Support/Bio.aspx?bio=159
