- I now own that 20mm AF lens with my Nikon AF system. I used to own
- a 24mm when I had a non-AF system (now sold).
-
- The 20mm is certainly more dramatic lens, particular for interesting
- architectural interiors and expansive scenics. It does a great job
- at close range, too. I cuncur with the other postings on the depth
- of this lens.
-
- I do miss my 24mm in situations involving group photography and special
- events. My SB-24 would cover the 24mm, but not the 20mm. My old SB-16
- would cover most of the 24mm's field when the 28mm diffuser was attached.
- It is very tricky to light for the 20mm.
