I completely agree with your comment about the 10-20mm AF-P not being anywhere near as as the 18-55 AF-P.  I nearly returned my 10-20mm after doing a bunch of test shots.  I also have an older ...

To answer the 2 questions about the infrared photo: First, the camera is a D5300.  I bought it with the intent of converting to IR.  Chose the D5300 because it was the most affordable model I could ...

Thanks for posting.  In your shots, at 12mm, the 10-20mm looks better than the 12-24mm.  At least the corners.  Perhaps even the center.

That is really and apples vs oranges comparison.  The 18-200 while still surprisingly decent, is no match for the 16-80.  And it was never intended to be.  If you are looking for a single lens ...

I picked up one as part of a kit.  Wish it had VR.  But it is surprisingly good for how cheap and light it is.  It is sharper than my 70-300 FX VR Nikkor, although only at the longer end.

I think you'll find the little lens quite acceptable at f/8.  The more I shoot with it, the more I am warming up to it.  If you are looking for critical sharpness, the best results are in the ...

I own both the D5500 and the 35mm DX f/1.8.  The two make a great combo.  Small, light, very sharp, very portable.  What's not to like.  I also own a lot of high end full-frame gear.  But I find ...

Hello Alex, Here is a comparison of the 18-55 to the 10-20.  Both were taken on a heavy tripod in controlled conditions.  18mm focal length, ISO 100, aperture f/5.6, 1/4 second exposure. D5500 NEF ...

Thanks for posting this John.  Your 10-20 is performing admirably.  So I decided to take a similar image for comparison purposes (although my Ford Edge is certainly not as interesting a subject). ...

Would you mind posting a full resolution, uncropped, unprocessed JPG of your red Chevy image?  That would give me a better idea if I got a bad copy of the lens.

The bookshelf is a test subject I use to compare one lens to another.  It provides a useful 'apples vs apples' comparison. I do like your photos.  They look better than the results I'm getting with ...

A fair statement to be sure.  Aside from the bookcase, I have taken over 200 shots with the little zoom, from the closest focus distance to infinity, and at all focal lengths.  I'm afraid in this ...

I have the older Tokina 12-24 f/4 screw drive autofocus variety.  The lens is built like a tank and quite good optically, even at f/4.  It beats the new Nikon 10-20mm at every aperture and focal ...

I purchased the lens 3 days ago.  I am mostly a full-frame shooter (D800e) with over a dozen lenses that I use on a fairly regular basis.  Last year I picked up a D5500 for its small size and ...

I thought this lens would be the cat's meow for backpacking with a small DX body.  Aside from my full-frame gear, I also own a D5500 for traveling light and a D5300 that I bought to convert to ...

consequential... revolutionized... reorganized... restructured...

You are absolutely gushing over Apple and Steve Jobs' ability(?) to change the world of photography. That is giving a lot of...

Nikon probably did whatever was the cheapest and easiest to build with consistent performance.  This is a low-end lens.  However, low-end doesn't mean low performance.  The 18-55 AF-P and 70-300 ...

I downloaded a few of your photos at the highest resolution available.  The sharpness was fine.  Very good, in fact.  You have nothing to worry about.  Go out and continue shooting.  You are doing ...

The new one has VR.  And it is considerably smaller, lighter, and easier to handhold.  Both of these conditions support easier photography of birds in flight.  However, I cannot confirm this.  I ...

Ken did not do his homework. From Nikon's website, here is the list of cameras that are NOT compatible with the little 10-20mm: Incompatible models: D4 series, D3 series, D2 series, D1 series, D800 ...
