Nikon has just officially announced the Nikkor Z 14-30mm F4 S lens. It is an ultra-wide prime for Nikon ‘s full-frame mirrorless system, featuring four ED elements and Nikon’s Nano Crystal Coat to reduce flare and ghosting and a stepping motor. The lens is sealed against dust and moisture. This new lens costs $1,296.95, available for Pre-Order at Amazon/ B&H/ Adorama.
Nikon Nikkor Z 14-30mm F4 S lens is expected to start shipping in April 2019.
Feature:
- Ultra-wide zoom covers a wide-angle to portrait-length range and is designed for FX-format Z-mount mirrorless cameras.
- Constant f/4 maximum aperture affords consistent performance throughout the zoom range and also contributes to the relatively lightweight design and compact form factor.
- Stepping motor delivers impressively smooth, quiet, and fast autofocus performance that is well-suited to both stills and video applications. Full-time manual focus override is also possible and an internal focusing design is used, where only the internal lens groups are moved during focusing, to maintain the overall length of the lens during use and to promote faster focusing speeds.
- Programmable Control Ring is, by default, set to adjust manual focus, but can also be used to control aperture or exposure compensation.
- Specialized electromagnetic aperture mechanism provides greater exposure control stability that is especially beneficial when working with fast continuous shooting rates.
