Given its compact size and ultra-wide focal length, the Nikon Nikkor Z 14-30mm F4 S achieves a good balance in optical quality, with high and consistent sharpness across the image field except when wide-open at F4. When fitted to the high- resolution 45.7MP Nikon Z 7 body, it scores 24 Overall in our image quality rankings, putting the lens
The Nikon 14-24mm f/2.8G shows a moderate amount of lateral chromatic aberration. The lens starts out at roughly 1.37 pixels at 14mm, then gets reduced to close to a pixel at 16mm-18mm, then gets picked up again from there. CA is the worst at 24mm, as seen below: Let’s now move on to lens comparisons. With the Nikkor Z 24-70mm F2.8 S, Nikon gives Z-mount shooters a higher-end alternative to the existing, more consumer-friendly 24-70mm F4 S. In the process, it completes a lineup of bright F2.8 zooms that, along with the excellent Nikkor Z 14-24mm F2.8 S and Nikkor Z 70-200mm F2.8 VR S , span the entire range from a 14mm wide-angle to a 200mm The Nikon Z 14-24mm f2.8 S clearly is the rightful successor to the legendary Nikon AF-S 14-24mm f2.8G as it is optically better in every aspect than the F-Nikkor except for Bokeh. And with 450g less weight to carry around and a set of nifty features Nikon has managed to create another worthy member for their trinity of professional f2.8 zoom The only big advantage of the Nikon Z 24-70mm f/4 S – aside from price – is that it’s smaller and lighter. The weight of the Nikon Z 24-70mm f/4 S is exactly 500 grams (1.10 pounds), while the Nikon Z 24-70mm f/2.8 S is 805 grams (1.77 pounds). Also, the filter thread size on the Nikon Z 27-20mm f/4 S is 72mm, compared to the 82mm filterAt almost 18 ounces (505g), the lens isn't light, either. By comparison, the Sony 20mm f/1.8G is 3.3” in length, 3” in diameter, uses a 67mm filter size, weighs only 13.2 ounces (373g), has an extra control ring and a Fn button. This is one of the things that leads to the “Sony is better” comments.14-24 F is an excellent lens on D700, still shines on D850, but not as sharp as the Canon 11-24 f4. Knew quite a few eventually mounted 11-24 on a Sony to satisfy the clients. So far the samples of 14-24 S f4 seemed quite promising, except its 82mm filter size, good for CPL and ND users, bad for optimal edge performance vs the future 14-24 S f2
NIKON Z 7 II + NIKKOR Z 14-24mm f/2.8 S @ 14mm, ISO 64, 1/2, f/8.0. Lastly, the close-focusing capabilities of the Nikon Z 14-24mm f/2.8 S are hardly great. At 24mm, you’ll get a maximum magnification of 1:7.7. That’s enough to fill the frame horizontally with an object 10.8 inches across (27.4 cm) – nowhere near macro.qitMY3P.
