  • Compact design, Accepts screw-in filters, Minimal flare and chromatic aberration, Quiet autofocus, Unique zoom range
  • Lacks focus distance scale, Some vignetting, F/4 maximum aperture
  • If you need an ultra wide, sharp, quiet lens to pair with a full-frame Nikon mirrorless camera, buy the Z 14-30mm f/4 S. It offers excellent build quality and performance, and pairs well with Nikon's young mirrorless system. You can find equally wide lens...

  • An advantage of choosing a wideangle zoom with a maximum aperture of f/4 as opposed to f/2.8 is that theyre typically smaller, lighter and more portable. The Nikon Z 14-30mm f/4 S is an excellent example and its retractable design makes it one of the mos...

  • shapely and handy casing for offered parameters, good image quality in the frame centre, sensible image quality on the edge of the APSC/DX sensor, moderate longitudinal chromatic aberration, slight vignetting on the APSC/DX sensor, lack of any serious com

  • Abstract:  The announcement of the full- frame mirrorless Z camera system in August 2018 was a bold step for Nikon. Not only do the new Z6 and Z7 camera models do away with the mirrors and optical viewfinders that were essential components in Nikon SLRs since the 19...

  • With its ultra-wide angle of view and truly compact dimensions, the Nikkor Z 14-30mm F4 S is without doubt a highly appealing solution. Couple that with a flat front and the ability to add 82mm screw-in filters, and the new Nikkor seems ideally suited to...
