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.

Thanks for the link.

I tested the Voigtlander before, but didn't like it.  For size I like the Nikkor 20/4 a lot more !!  Also the optical quality.   

There is no way to compare a f/3.5 and a f/1.4 lens  :D

Actually it's very liberating to have such a small DOF wide open with a 20mm lens and that is very challenging.

Nice view, the curve in the road, the 'lunch house'?  and the Rhein.
