An ultra-wide angle zoom lens is a useful tool for many different genres, and while the professional standard of such lenses is usually f/2.8, those who do not need that extra stop can save a lot of weight and money by opting for an f/4 version. This excellent video review takes a look at one such lens for Nikon mirrorless shooters, the NIKKOR Z 14-30mm f/4 S.
Coming to you from Christopher Frost, this great video review takes a look at the Nikon NIKKOR Z 14-30mm f/4 S lens. Suitable for landscape photographers or anyone who does not need an f/2.8 aperture, the 14-30mm f/4 comes with an array of useful features, including:
- Four aspherical elements for reduced distortion and increased sharpness
- Four extra-low dispersion elements for reduced chromatic aberrations
- Nano Crystal Coat and Super Integrated Coating for reduced flares and ghosting and increased contrast
- Stepping motor for fast and quiet autofocus suitable for photos and video, with full-time manual override
- Customizable Control Ring
- Rounded seven-blade diaphragm for smoother bokeh
