Ultra-wide-angle zoom lenses are very helpful for a wide range of purposes and genres. Professional versions typically have an aperture of f/2.8; however, in recent years, there has been an increase in the availability of high-quality f/4 choices that are lighter and smaller in size and cost significantly less.
The 14–30mm f/4–S Nikon NIKKOR Z lens is ideal for landscape and architecture photographers, who frequently require wide focal lengths but may not always require an f/2.8 aperture. Nikon’s selection has a broad range of qualities, including:
- Four aspherical elements for less distortion and increased sharpness
- Four extra-low dispersion elements for reduced chromatic aberrations
- Nano Crystal Coat and Super Integrated Coating for fewer flares and less ghosting, and deeper contrast
- Stepping motor for quick and quiet autofocus suitable for photos and video, with full-time manual override
- Customizable Control Ring
- Rounded seven-blade diaphragm for smoother bokeh
- Dust- and moisture-resistant construction
- Electromagnetic aperture mechanism for greater exposure stability
The 14–30mm f/4–S Nikon NIKKOR Z lens is a lens with amazing features that photographers should lay hold on. The video below from Matt Irwin gives an extensive review of the 14–30mm f/4–S Nikon NIKKOR Z lens.
