Nikon Nikkor 20mm with Brevis

[robmneilson]

Anyone have one of these 20mm lenses?

Im curious to see how much it distorts the image? I'm going to be shooting a road movie and feel like this will be a nice lens to have in the kit for car mount stuff.

If anyone has any screen caps or footage it would be great.

I have a 20mm Nikkor that I've been using on an M2. I don't really remember it distorting all that bad. Check out the shots of the storage units in this spot. I shot these with the 20mm:

Think we used the 20 for a few shots on that i2i music vid, right Aram? Anyways, I was pretty surprised by its performance. Great wide that I'll have to pick up for myself sometime.

Thanks. It was shot on the Brevis with a nikkor 20mm. I just gave the lens back but I will get the info on it for you. Yes, also the wides in the i2i video were shot with the same 20mm.
