The 20mm f2.8 Nikkor is a first-rate lens, capable of evenly high
resolution, contrast, and illumination to the corners. I have seen
no WA zoom of any price that can do the same (and certainly
not *relatively* inexpensive wide-angle zooms...). If image quality
is important to you, this is an easy decision...;-)
