Nikon 14-30mm f/4.0 Z S Nikkor (JMA705DA)

There are not so many full-frame wides with a focal length of 14 mm. And with a flat front lens — just a few. One of these ultra-wide lenses is presented in the optics park under the guard of Nikon full-frame mirrorless cameras.

Space for creativity

The Nikon Nikkor Z 14-30mm f/4.0 S super-wide lens gives you plenty of room for creativity when shooting architecture, cramped interiors or landscapes. It is landscape painters who will appreciate the flat shape of the front lens of the model, because. it allows the installation of stationary light filters, albeit with a large diameter of 82 mm. For ultra-wides, this is a rarity.

Optical design

Optically, the model is constructed according to the formula "14 elements in 12 groups". The scheme contains ED-glasses and aspherical elements (4 copies of each type), as well as lenses with a nanocrystalline coating to increase the level of image micro-contrast. And the lens also has a "trunk" that moves out when zooming — in the most advanced position it is at the short end of 14 mm. The design provides for dust and water protection of the case for protection from all sorts of adversities.

Organic tandem

The advantages of the model include fast and silent focus in automatic mode, an electronic control ring on which you can “hang” the functions of focus, aperture and exposure compensation, a low level of distortion and chromatic aberration. A pebble in the garden of the width — a drop in detail at the edges of the frame when shooting at the short end. The lens will serve as an excellent complement to the 24-70mm multi-purpose zoom and will form an organic tandem of optics with it for the Nikon Z full-frame mirrorless system.
