Reviewer score 76% (normalized by Neofiliac)The Nikkor Z 14-30mm f/4 S is sharp and compact with a weather-sealed design. It carries a slightly higher price point than F-mount lenses, but it's a unique focal length you can't get elsewhere. We also liked the smooth and quiet autofocus that was great for both stills and video.
Pros
- Sharp and quiet autofocus
- Compact, weather-sealed design
Cons
- No focus distance scale

Reviewer score 88% (normalized by Neofiliac)The Nikon Nikkor Z 14-30mm f/4 S is the first native ultra-wide zoom for the system. There's no visible barrel distortion, which is all but certainly a result of software lens corrections. It's exceptionally compact and light if you're used to similar lenses to similar SLR systems.
Pros
- Compact design
- Wide-angle zoom
- Dust and splash protection
- Front filter
Cons
- Vignette at wide angles
- No fluorine coating

Reviewer score 81% (normalized by Neofiliac)The NIKKOR Z 14-30mm f/4 S is a very capable addition to the S line. With its compact build, great finish, light weight and swift and virtually silent autofocus system, it's a lovely lens to handle and operate. Sharpness is still good at the 30mm end, and consistent at smaller apertures, although not quite as bitingly sharp as we might want from a lens with this kind of price tag.
Pros
- Great build quality
- Fully silent autofocus
- Flexible barrel
Cons
- Vignetting at wide-angle end
