Nikkor Z 14-30mm f/4 S announced - Klaus - 01-08-2019 The MTFs are looking quite good https://imaging.nikon.com/lineup/lens/z-mount/z_14-30mmf4s/index.htm RE: Nikkor Z 14-30mm f/4 S announced - JJ_SO - 01-08-2019 Wait until you see how the distortions look like ![]() But the overall view is rather compact and light (less than 500 grams). And a filter thread of ø 82 mm - cool. Definitely worth to look at it. Also, it comes before the longer ago announced 58/0.95 RE: Nikkor Z 14-30mm f/4 S announced - Klaus - 01-08-2019 On the downside - at least I am not sold on the retractable design. Even less so at that price point. RE: Nikkor Z 14-30mm f/4 S announced - JJ_SO - 01-08-2019 You don't need to be sold, just buy it... ![]() I don't have a problem with retractable lenses (I only have one, so it would be singular anyway), but I do have one with the magenta / green circled spots round highlights. And this is a very wide angle, so no matter how well it performs - flare resistance is key. If that'd be bad I rather stick with the Sigmas. Although weather sealing and extending tubes are not going too well in my book. 1300 US $ is alright if it's delivering great images. Hey Klaus, you always wanted light and small lenses. Now you have one, and you still complain. You can still use your funky Laowas ![]() RE: Nikkor Z 14-30mm f/4 S announced - toni-a - 01-08-2019 Do note it doesn't feature VR, Nikon is relying on IBIS RE: Nikkor Z 14-30mm f/4 S announced - JJ_SO - 01-08-2019 You surpass yourself with superfluous commentary.

You may notice that the last review of the Laowa 15 was far from positive (and I gave up on the 10-18). Regarding the retractable design - I'm having doubts from a mechanical perspective. Based on what I've seen so far such lenses are more prone to centering issues. You may argue that there haven't been any high-end lenses with this mechanism but still ... RE: Nikkor Z 14-30mm f/4 S announced - Rover - 01-09-2019 Looks like the first lens which could make me thinking of selling all my Canon DSLR gear and going to mirrorless - Nikon branded of all things. ![]() 14mm capability with filters (just 82mm sized, to boot) is pretty rad. RE: Nikkor Z 14-30mm f/4 S announced - thxbb12 - 01-09-2019 This is a very interesting lens indeed. I haven't considered the Z system but this lens is very attractive. It's very compact for its specs: it's about the same size as the Fuji 10-24 f/4. 1mm wider for 6mm shorter but the equiv aperture is more interesting. The 24-70 f4 is also interesting although too short. I'd have loved a 20-70 f4 instead ;-) RE: Nikkor Z 14-30mm f/4 S announced - JJ_SO - 01-09-2019 Since I use the Z7, the Fuji basically is much less the portable option with great IQ - the Z7 simply is better. The teaser video of the upcoming eye-detect AF also looks promising. A 20-70 would just have more distortions on the short end than the 24-70 already "shines" with. |
