Not the fastest lens, sure, but it's lightweight, small and just the thing that may tempt new mirrorless users over to Nikon's side. Nikon's lens roadmap for the Z series just got interesting...

The Nikon Z 14-30mm f4.0 S is a nice addition to Nikon's Z line-up so far. It delivers ultra-wide angle views and still reaches up to 30mm focal length which makes it a very versatile zoom lens. Plus it comes in a small and light package and is able to ta...

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...
Very compact considering its focal range, AF is practically silent, Built-in corrections banish distortions effectively, Flat front element easy to clean
Collapsible barrel not always ideal, Slightly soft corners wide-open at 14mm, Not possible to click declicked Control Ring, Not cheap for an f/4 lens
The NIKKOR Z 14-30mm f/4 S is a very capable addition to the S line, and one that will no doubt please those needing to get lots into the frame, and who are used to lugging around heavier alternatives.With its compact build, great finish, light weight, an...
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...
Tropicalisation, Distorsions très bien gérées, Léger et compact, Bonne qualité d'image sur toute la longueur focale
Bokeh qui n'est pas parfait, Manque d'homogénéité à 14 mm f/4, Pas de stabilisation
Pour un premier zoom très grand-angle en monture Z, Nikon nous gratifie d'un bon objectif aux performances très satisfaisantes. Certes son ouverture constante f/4 n'est pas la plus lumineuse, néanmoins ce Nikkor Z 14-30mm f/4 S propose des résultats très...
