Designed for Nikon F-mount DSLRs, this 20mm f/1.8 ED AS UMC Lens from Rokinon is a bright wide-angle prime featuring an intuitive manual focus design and enhanced optical construction. Two aspherical elements and three extra-low dispersion elements are used to reduce both spherical and chromatic aberrations for greater sharpness, clarity, and reduced distortion. The optics also feature an Ultra Multi-Coating to guard against lens flare and ghosting for increased contrast and color neutrality when working in strong lighting conditions. The manual focus operation affords working with subjects as close as 7.9" away, and a rounded seven-blade diaphragm contributes to a pleasing bokeh quality.

Great in low light. Easy to use. It doesn’t feel like the more expensive lenses, but it seems to get the job done for the price. Check your focus, no auto here

Is it possible to use an 82-77 mm step down ...
Is it possible to use an 82-77 mm step down filter adapter so I can use the lens with an 82 mm screw on filter?
A step-down filter is designed to use a smaller filter on a lens with a larger filter thread. As such, you would not use a step-down filter to connect an 82mm filter on a 77mm lens filter thread. You would instead need a 77-82mm step-up filter to connect an 82mm filter on the lens' 77mm filter thread. However, do note that if you use a step-up filter, you may not be able to use the lens hood and may need to remove the lens hood from the lens before using the larger filter setup. The Sensei 77-82mm Step-Up Ring, B&H # SESUR7782, would allow you to use an 82mm filter on the Rokinon 20mm f/1.8 ED AS UMC Lens for Nikon F.
