Yes, testing it now. Very promising ! Even the bokeh is great.

Better than the nikkor 20mm f/1.8 you think?

A lot of reviews say 'Yes' especially for documentary and street work.  And I can confirm the lens works great for that kind of shots but I was not yet able to test it and compare it to the Nikon 1.8 (nor could I find information where those two were compared),  but personally I prefer a f/1.4 for a f/1.8.

Definite reward here for the effort of making an early rise Tom.  I like it a lot.

Thanks Hugh.   We have the Western Ghats to the east so we get some light before we see the sun. If we have some nice cloud cover then we can get some very cool reflected light.  If I see a really nice sunrise, from my house on a hill, by the time I get my gear and take the jeep to a good vantage point the moment is gone.   The only way I can do it is to leave when it is still dark and hope for good sunrise and skies.  Works sometimes and not others.
