NIKKOR Z 14-30mm f/4 S

Having had the Nikkor 14-24 f:2.8 before this lens, I am super happy to have such a sharp, compact, and versatile super wide zoom to replace it. The sacrifice of one stop in speed was worth the trade-off of having a smaller, lighter lens with the added convenience of the front filter thread. On the Z cameras this lens produces distortion free images even at 14mm that are sharp corner to corner. This is an excellent super wide zoom.

Light weight, sharp, and compact ultra-wide lens. Really good for landscape as well as dramatic foreground. 82-mm lens filter thread means you can use slim low-profile CP and ND filters. In addition the thread allows use of generic rectangular (100 x 150 mm) or square (100 mm) ND and GND filters for dramatic long exposure pictures. Color saturation, sharpness, low distortion and vignetting are some of the outstanding quality of this lens. I highly recommend the lens to photographers who need an ultra-wide field of view. Excellent price for so much lens!

This WA 14-30 is the very best WA zoom I have ever used. Much smaller and lighter than my Nikon 14-24G. Even better it takes screw-in filters.

I own the Z6 and Z7 and wanted to try this lens. After using a while, I have to say this is the best wide angle lens I´ve ever shot with. It´s small, light and very well built.

This lens is compact, light and both contrasty and sharp. I mostly use it for landscape.

Good super wide lens that gets everything into the picture. For both landscapes and group portraits the performance is amazing. The compact size makes it easy to travel with.

I use this lens primarily as my real estate photo lens and it´s awesome!! It definitely out performs my old 12-24mm!!

This lens alone makes it work switching to the Z platform. Compared to other super-wide lenses this one is very small and lightweight. Ideal for landscapes. Accepts filters. Yes, it has a fair amount of distortion at the wide end. But for most of my landscape work I disable the automatic correction. That makes it about 13mm. Yes, it is ´only´ f/4. I´ll gladly accept f/4 to keep is small and light. This lens is no larger than the 24-70 f/4 kit lens. They make an excellent pair.

I bought my Z7 after waiting awhile and although I don´t usually buy the kit lens, this is an extremely fine piece of glass. I did think about using my favorite wide angle 14-24 on my Z7, but this lens is equal and comes in for a lot less money. Images are sharp from each corner, and focus is spot on. I can´t say enough good things about this lens - and the weight really makes a difference when you are carrying it all day on a landscape adventure hike.
