Opinion:I waited a while before writing mine on this lens, because already possessing the 20mm f1.8 and the 14-24 2.8 (Nikon) I had doubts about this f4 glass. Well, I can say that the incision is very similar to that of the 14-24, but it distorts much less and the yield covers the whole frame quite well. Having such a focal point, which reaches 30mm, on such a compact and light body is an immense pleasure for me! You can go out light while still being able to count on the great quality of the best Nikon lenses without taking up too much space in the backpack... A dream come true! The constant opening f4 is enough and advances for 90% of uses, and in case of indoor photos, you can still count on the excellent resistance to high iso of FX Z sensors. Really now I no longer see the need to invest important figures on faster (and heavier) openings In addition, as already mentioned in many reviews, the possibility of using screw filters still increases the practicality and usability of this lens. Too bad for the price far too high, but as always the quality you pay.
Opinion:I also switched to the Z system for the choice of the highest quality and small size objectives, characteristics that this objective fully respects! Sharpness is almost all over the frame great, very light loss of detail at 14 mm angles, but seriously is it a problem? I don't think so! It also allows the use of circular filters that are fundamental to me also to respect the "sense" of having a mirrorless FX, quality and portability!
Pros:Yield, lightness, clutter, the ability to mount filters without fainting.
Cons:Distortion correction cannot disable sharp angles at 14mm.
Opinion:Reading the various reviews many find this optics excellent in sharpness even at the edges. I'm partly in agreement but we have to start from 16mm and up. Yes because a14mm the corners can not be looked and the difference between a perfect copy and a no is a bale, in my opinion. If you work in a certain way with bubble machine and particular situations with medium diaphragms then it looks excellent as optics. If you decide to take it around street or in the woods without considering those above rules you will always notice its limits at 14mm that is clear. Overall I call it more than good but the price is high, rating8.5.I wanted to make an update to this view in positive ,having tried it little I did not realize that I mounted on a uv filter hoya good but not great, well, removing the filter I noticed an improvement visible at the edges and in general as sharpness. Conclusion the lens I like is not perfect but it goes more than well always remains at 14mm a little kneaded in the corners but without uv filter much sharper, I learned from this experience that you never have to be superficial and go in a hurry when you judge and try an optics change my judgment and my vote to a nice 10 and I apologize if I was pessimistic and negative about the optics.
Pros:It is crisp, compact, light and 100mm slab filters.
Cons:No one at the moment.
Opinion:I use this lens only for landscape photos on the Nikon Z7, with excellent results that I never thought I would achieve with an F/4 goal. It turned out to be a great companion of outings at sunrise and sunset and never disappointed me. I used a D850 with a Tamron 15-30 f 2.8, amazing machine, excellent target, which with the holder and the 150 mm plates exceeded abundantly 2 kg. I switched to Nikon's mirrorless Z system and the Z7 I matched this 14-30 that with the holder V6 of Nisi 100 mm exceeds the weight of 1 kg and I get landscape photos on par if not higher than the reflex. Very satisfied, I recommend it without a doubt to lovers of landscape photo, rating 10.
Opinion:I used this lens during the summer and I can say I am really satisfied. Great sharpness even at the edges, light and super portable really gives us a fantastic image quality. I am not a professional photographer but I would recommend it because the rendering coupled with the fantastic Z7 gave me great satisfaction. Great range of focals, wide enough. I did not find great distortions, automatic correct in the car, excellent colors, flare content. Really glad I bought it. If we really want to find the hair in the egg it's not f 2.8 but I think in the night can still be able to say its in a more dignified way. But I really struggle to find cons because it really seems like a job well done by nikon overall, as well as the whole Z system.
