I had previously used a Tamron 15-30 2.8, good but heavy. This lens is quite sharp and distortion is at a minimum, the ability to add a screw on filter is greatly appreciated. Just got back from a trip to the Blue Ridge Parkway and this lens performed admirably.

If the best camera is one you have with you, then the compact size combination of the 14-30 and Z7 is great. I remain torn about getting future 14-24/ 2.8 or 35 mm 1.2 because I like fast lenses and shallow DoF but will I carry all of them?

teamed up with the z6 could not be better just light enough to carry all day and not a bad picture sharp a clear all the way

I had hoped that this lens would replace my bulky 14-24mm f/2.8. Contrary to reports that Nikon worked with Adobe so that the barrel distortion would be mitigated when imported into Lightroom this is not my experience. I do a considerable amount of architectural shooting and I have to spend time with every image fixing the unacceptable barrel distortion. Might be OK for the landscape folks but it´s joke for buildings.

This is my new walkaround lens when shooting in the paddock at motorsports events and for landscapes. This is the best Nikon 14-30mm lens I have owned

I am a photojournalist and history writer. I photograph and write articles about historic steam locomotives. I often photograph in low lighting environments and restricted spaces. This lens is tack sharp and gives me great results. A number of my images have been used in railroad history publications.

Love this lens. It is almost always on my Nikon Z6.

Though I have the Z 35mm lens, I have ordered the 24mm f/1.8 Z Nikkor, which will also be on the camera a lot because it is faster. Depending on its price, I will consider the Z 20mm lens as well.

I use it for architecture interiors and motorcycle photos.

Got this for a fall colors shoot and was able to create some interesting images, taking advantage of the wide views.

The 14-30 mm Nikkor S lens is great! The added 6 mm over the standard 14-24 mm lens is a great plus
