Ultra-wide angle zoom lenses are quite useful in a variety of different genres and applications. Professional models usually have an f/2.8 aperture, but in recent years, we have seen an influx of high-quality f/4 options that offer reduced size and weight and far lower prices. One such option is the Nikon NIKKOR Z 14-30mm f/4 S, and this great video review takes a look at the sort of performance and image quality you can expect from it in practice.
Coming to you from Matt Irwin Photography this in-depth video review takes a look at the Nikon NIKKOR Z 14-30mm f/4 S lens. Such a lens it suitable particularly for landscape and architectural photographers, who often need wide focal lengths but not necessarily an f/2.8 aperture, and Nikon's option comes with a nice variety of features, 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
Altogether, the 14-30mm f/4 looks like a very nice lens. Check out the video above for Irwin's full thoughts.
Glad to assist!
Thank you! My mistake.
