Game changer!
Joe from Corpus Christi, Tx on 4/20/2025
Amazingly sharp lens even wide open! This lens is a huge upgrade from the very capable f-mount 14-24mm. I loved that lens as well but there were limitations. Corners looked noticeably less sharp than center frame at f/2.8. Screw-on filters were also not an option due to the bulbous nature of the front element. The front element protruded from the built-in petal hood at 14mm. That meant no protection and lens flare was always a challenge. This new Z mount lens has fixed all of that. There are 2 lens hoods included. The HB-97 allows 112mm screw-on filters. Those filters are NOT cheap, but they do work. Coma is SUBSTANTIALLY improved in the corners. It is still there but no more weird crosses clearly visible. It is slight but you really have to zoom in to see it.
Pros: Screw-on filters Two hoods Customizable ring LCD screen Weight Build quality Super sharp images Weather sealed Constant size when zooming
Cons: "Lens pouch" is junk. Its nothing more than a cleaning cloth. Not cheap!

Body cap was screwed on so tightly I was unable to remove it without damaging the lens. Had to return it in hopes of getting one I can actually use.

Good if its needed
Harley from Norton on 2/21/2022
Not a bad lens and I had no issues with it but I just didn't feel like it met my needs as much as I would have liked. I found myself reaching more for my 70-300mm lens. Found it to be a bit bulky for my taste as well. If you have a specific need for it then it would great but not a good lens just to have laying around because you probably won't use it much.
Pros: Made well and would hold up for years
Cons: Unless you have a need for it I doubt you would find yourself using it that much

Excellent purchase decision!
Crutchfield customer from St Petersburg, FL on 10/6/2021
Finally got the chance to take this lens out into the real world this past weekend and must say, WOW. As with the other lenses in the S series, it is well built and feels like one of Nikon's legacy products. Fit and finish are flawless, and feels good in the hand. Performance is of course spectacular, and probably the best 14-24 or similar ever made, and not just my opinion. Works flawlessly with my Z7 of course, and focus is so fast and silent that it's like it's not even moving anything. Still learning to use it, but I can see by the results that it is going to get more use than I expected. I own a full range of the S series lenses so I can tell you this one is equally as fantastic. Completed my holy trinity of pro zooms!
Pros: Light, versatile, sharp, fast. Nikon.
Cons: Honestly none that I can find.
