Nikon NIKKOR Z 14-30mm f/4 S Lens

Key Features and Benefits:

An advanced ultra-wide-angle zoom

• A compact 14 to 30mm zoom range with a fixed f/4 aperture and outstanding image quality. Experience edge-to-edge sharpness even when shooting wide open. Shoot stills or video in near-silence. This is an essential lens for travel, adventure, events, video, and everything in between

Superior optical performance

• Impressive aberration correction - virtually zero flares, ghosting, coma or chromatic, spherical, and axial aberration, even at the far edges of the frame. Plus it provides dirt, dust, and water-repelling safeguards

A small lens for big ideas

• Smoothly go from an ultra-wide 14mm view to a more natural perspective of 30mm. Capture subjects less than a foot away with fully-immersive backgrounds and expansive vistas with detail and sharpness from corner to far-reaching corner. The NIKKOR Z 14-30mm f/4 S is perfect for adding depth and drama to stills and video and its outstanding portability makes it an ideal partner for compact Z series cameras

Fixed f/4 aperture

• The large-diameter Z Mount gathers more light, especially at the frame edges. Shoot wide open while maintaining high image quality across the entire zoom range without affecting exposure. The 14-30mm f/4 exemplifies what's possible with NIKKOR Z lenses

Space-saving design

• A retractable lens mechanism collapses the lens down and locks it in place for safe and minimal packing

Smooth, quiet autofocus

• Nikon's Stepping Motor (STM) provides smooth, fast and quiet autofocusing. Where camera noise is an issue - at weddings, ceremonies, and in video production - STM is a silent partner

Filter-attachable lens

• The NIKKOR Z 14-30mm f/4 S's front lens element is nearly flat, making it an excellent filter-attachable 14mm full-frame NIKKOR lens. This advancement in optical design makes it possible to add a circular polarizer to dramatically reduce reflections for the purpose of enhancing colors and increasing the contrast. Add a neutral-density filter to reduce light intensity and decrease shutter speed - perfect for emphasizing motion blur or for video applications where large apertures need to be used in daylight

An essential video lens

• Create beautifully detailed establishing shots that draw the viewer in. Focus very close for story-telling context in wide, tight interiors. This is an indispensable lens with an essential angle of view for serious videographers and filmmakers. The small, agile design feels as at home in a hand as it does in a rig. Either way, Z's advanced 5-axis VR and additional electronic VR image stabilization effectively eliminate unwanted camera shake and vibration. The advanced quiet Stepping Motor ensures smooth, clean focusing; focus breathing has been virtually eliminated for a consistent view as you zoom in or out

Dust and drip resistant

• Extensively sealed to keep dust and moisture out, especially around all moving parts of the lens barrel, for worry-free durability

Dual detect 5-axis VR

• Uses the Z cameras' superior in-camera image stabilization system for up to 5 stops of pitch, roll, yaw, X and Y shake correction. It provides additional electronic VR (e-VR) during video capture
