Courtesy of Russell GoughI had been wanting to do this for some time, I have finally picked up a wide-angle lens - and I decided to go really wide. Until picking this lens up, I had never shot with a wide-angle before other than my Canon XT’s 17-55 zoom kit lens… But that definitely does not count. If I was going to shoot with a wide-angle, I wanted it to be for my film Nikon F3 camera. After reading a great review, I chose the Nikon 20mm f4 over the Nikon 20mm f2.8. I am usually a sucker for wide apertures, but the extremely small size of the lens (seriously, the thing is tiny), its 52mm diameter and the renowned sharpness and low distortion of this lens sold me. I know that shooting in low light is going to be more difficult with this lens, but my recent switch to 400 ISO film will help that out.
