The Nikon AF-P DX Nikkor 10-20mm f/4.5-5.6G VR has a some big things going for it: an ultra-wide field of view to capture huge swaths of landscape, sharp optics, a featherweight build, optical stabilization, and a very attractive price. But there's some bad with the good.

Light and compact; Covers very wide angle of view; Quite sharp; Optical stabilization; Inexpensive

Soft edges at 10mm; Noticeable barrel distortion; Dimmed corners; Some chromatic aberration; Narrow aperture; Plastic lens mount

At just $309.95, the AF-P DX Nikkor 10-20mm f/4.5-5.6G VR is one of the least expensive lenses you can get for a Nikon SLR. It also covers one of the widest angles for APS-C (DX) models, making it a solid option for landscapes, travel, and shooting in tight spaces. To meet its price it does make some compromises, capturing photos with distinct barrel distortion and omitting the fluorine coat we're used to seeing in more premium lenses. If improved fit and finish, and a wider aperture are important, consider the Tamron 10-24mm f/3.5-4.5 Di VC HLD as an alternative. But if you're buying on price, it's hard to beat the Nikon, as long as you're aware of its strengths and weaknesses. Design The 10-20mm ($306.95 at Amazon) measures just 2.8 by 3.0 inches (HD), weighs 8.2 ounces, and supports 72mm front filters. Like the slightly bigger (and pricier) Nikkor 10-24mm f/3.5-4.5G ED (3.4 by 3.3 inches, 1 pound), its image circle covers an APS-C sensor, a format Nikon refers to as DX. The sm...

The Nikon AF-P DX Nikkor 10-20mm f/4.5-5.6G VR lens is ultra-wide, easy to carry, sharp, and very affordable, but it does have some shortcomings.

This is a much better lens than my previous Tamron 10-24 mm lens. Fast focus, lightweight and good crisp definition. Added bonus of VR (VIbration Reduction) - although not sure it is really necessary on such a short focal length lens.

The AF-P DX NIKKOR 10-20mm f/4.5-5.6G VR offers ultra-wide-angle zoom that's ideal for sprawling landscapes, cityscapes and architecture.

This review is from a photographers point of view. We are very picky, 5 stars would be very hard to get. First let me say that for the price this is absolutely worth the money! It's a good lens that you can work with to take fantastic pictures. By design though, it is limited.

I bought this at the same price from John Lewis to make sure I got a genuine UK model and not a grey import. The lens is fabulous (I have a Nikon D5300), pictures totally sharp with no curvature or apparent optical or chromatic aberrations at the edges.

Fit my camera but didn't work. Was disappointed and will have to send back

This lens is superb for landscapes and doesn't need a filter. Super sharp right to the edges. The only negative is the light plastic feel, but don't let that fool you, this lens is fantastic.
