The recent Nikon lens seems, on paper, to be a very good option to use as a wide angle for the Sony system. Any experiences here?
I have read several reviews of it's performance on Nikon bodies; the consensus seems to be that it is a very good lens (best 20mm Nikkor lens so far), at a very competitive price.
Perhaps a good future option for a wide angle on the A7 system.

I have one, have not tried it on my A7's. I will be out this weekend with A7R Ir, and an A7R camera. I am particularly interested in focusing the IR camera with a lens built for AF. I had some trouble in the past with Nikon AF lenses not wanting to focus at infinity. I will also try a Leica 19mm against it for image quality and focusing.

Thanks, looking forward to see your results and impressions. This Nikon lens is particularly interesting to me, since I already have a Novoflex adaptor for my 24 f2.8 AIS.
The 20mm lens would allow me to go a bit wider, especially for astro-landscapes, where some reports say it is not bad.
I know that with Nikon G lenses, the aperture is selected via the ring on my adaptor, hence, no accurate reading, but I would most likely set the ring in the middle, at around f11 or f8. No big deal.
Again, thanks.
