Here's a lens that does not survive the 36MP sensor, the 20mm f/3.5 AiS. Edges and corners are blurry even at f/8 and rendering in general is unpleasant. I'm considering the new Tamron 15-30mm, but it's big. The Zeiss 18mm would probably be perfect, but the price...
For now, I'll try a Leitax conversion of my Zuiko 21mm f/3.5 and see how that works.
D810 with Nikkor 20mm f/3.5 @ f/8
I look forward to see ad hear about your experiences. One user gave me a very glowing report last week, but didn't show any images.I will try the Voigtländer Color Skopar 20mm f/3.5 on my 810 in a couple of days. I suspect I'll have the same outcome that you did. Still, there are times when I might want the wide open 'glow' and could care less about corners…
I'd be interested to hear about this one too. I have the 28 and 40mm pancake style Voigtlanders and like them both very much. Reading around the web, other user's experience broadly mirrors my own. The 40mm is the pick of the bunch and the 28mm stopped down to f4 is also very nice. Things are less clear with the 20mm though, especially on full frame, with some folks like Thom Hogan having good things to say about it, whereas others are far less complimentary. Having shot with it previously on DX I'd love to add it to my bag as I'd prefer it size wise to the 20mm afs-g. I can live without f1.8 at this focal length but only if it doesn't take too big a hit in image quality. It would also let me avoid having to decide between the 20mm and the rumoured 24mm af-s g Nikkors.I will try the Voigtländer Color Skopar 20mm f/3.5 on my 810 in a couple of days.
