NIKKOR Z 14-24mm f/2.8 S

I have been consolidating and simplifying my gear lately and this is a replacement for 20mm and 14mm prime lenses. I used it primarily for landscape work and all I can say is this is a great lens! Sharp edge to edge and minimal vignetting. I have yet to do any astro with it, but am optimistic it will be excellent there too!

The Nikon Z 14-24mm f/2.8 S lens was the next lens on my list. I have wanted this lens for a very long time and I am so happy that I made the purchase. This lens is absolutely amazing and exceeds my expectations.

This comment is only about filters for this lens. For landscape photos the possibility of using circular filters is a big plus, and I appreciate Nikon providing this through the HB-97 hood included with the camera along with a more normal hood. It’s also great that the HB-97 hood can be used on a few other S lenses, making it possible to carry fewer filters. Landscape photographers need polarizer and ND filters but finding 112mm filters is a challenge. Nikon offers a thin polarizer (at a breathtaking price) that’s likely as good as their smaller polarizers of which I have many, and no 112mm ND filters. Many other makers of premium filters don’t offer polarizers and ND filters in this size. Normally there’s no need for extra encouragement to filter makers but here there seems to be.

Super Sharp!This was an upgrade for me after using a very good Nikon Z 14-30 f/4 S lens with my Z6 for the past 5 years. The 14-24 is noticeably faster glass and sharp edge to edge. I was pleased that the lens is not as big or heavy as the older F mount version. I like to travel light and this lens helps me achieve it. The two included lens hoods provide for flexibility based upon the types of filters being used. Thank you Nikon for this! I enjoy shooting with a wide angle lens for landscapes and astro. I've attached a long exposure night photo I captured 2 nights ago, bracketed 3 exposures and merged HDR in Capture One.

Simply a spectacular lens whose sharpness,quality and weight far excels that of my like type f mount. Simply blew me away.

Amazing lens! It is sharper than my primes in the same focal length range. Color rendering is superb. I have some excellent glass, but this one is at the top.

Maybe the best lens I ever acquired. Excelent, the colors and how fast it is.
