BEST ULTRA-WIDEANGLE ZOOM

Nikon Z 14-24mm f/2.8 S £2295/$2197 Tested in issue 120

WHAT WE LOVE

Taking up residence at the wide-angle end of Nikon’s Z-mount ‘trinity’ zooms, the Z 14-24mm has typically exotic handling characteristics, coming complete with a customizable tertiary control ring, customizable Lens-function button and multi-function OLED display. It’s scary-sharp right into the corners of the frame, throughout the entire zoom range, and delivers scintillating all-round performance. We like being able to use regular screw-on filters on such an ultra-wideangle lens, thanks to the specially designed hood.

WHAT’S MISSING?

The filter-friendly hood doesn’t enable the fitment of a filter holder for square and rectangular filters. WHY UPGRADE? With its top-notch feature set, superb handling and stunning image quality, it’s a wide-angle dream for FX format Z-series shooters.
