As optical design and construction improved, Nikon was able to introduce a more conventional Nikkor 20mm f/3.5 lens in 1967, and in 1989 the first Nikkor 20mm f/2.8 autofocus lens appeared. This 12 elements-in-nine groups design was updated in 1994 to an AF-D version, and this lens remained current until last year, when the new AF-S Nikkor 20mm f/1.8G ED was unveiled.
