Sure it does the job. On a nikon I'd rather shoot with a Sigma 20mm F1.8 EX DG ASPHERICAL RF than a nikon 20 http://www.sigmaphoto.com/lenses/lenses_all_details.asp?id=3280&navigator=4 " The use of aspherical lens elements in both of the front and rear lens groups effectively compensates for distortion, spherical aberration and astigmatism." $519.00 A gorgeous lens. I like the look of it. Great rubber. Has all kinds of cool features to justify not getting a Nikkor lens for a nikon. Focuses real close. F1.8 and be there. And its cheap as hell. The 9-bladed iris diaphragm obtains beautiful out of focus image characteristics. Its Filter Size is a 82mm Pioneer platter! Room for lots of pot roast and plenty of gravy! Mark William Rabiner
