With the NIKKOR Z 14-24mm f/2.8 S, users can focus on the composition of their shot while Nikon takes care of everything in the background.

When you let inspiration lead you, it is good to have a reliable and lightweight lens as a companion on a full day of shootings, so the weight of the camera bag would be the last thing on the mind. The NIKKOR Z 14-24mm f/2.8 S is the world’s shortest and lightest1 ultra wide-angle f/2.8 lens that weighs at approximately 650g. The lens’s overall length and weight is significantly reduced to deliver and achieve excellent agility, while maintaining ultimate zoom lens image quality. This is made possible with the advantage of the Z mount system, where conventional lens elements with large curvature from the front elements are eliminated.

Professionals looking for an addition to the NIKKOR Z will find that this lens is user friendly as it features operational controls that are similar with previous models, maintaining familiar operability with minimal discomfort or hesitation. Focus on your subjects smoothly, effortlessly and accurately; and experience smoother operation and higher responsiveness with the dedicated focus ring that can be adjusted according to the photographer’s demands.

Discover great operability with its control ring that allows for convenient and simple facilitation in either photo capturing or video recording. When it comes to videos, experience a smooth change in focus and brightness, and switch between functions without the loud operational sounds. Speaking of silence, enjoy quiet operation with reduced operational and lens drive sounds as the stepping motor (STM) works behind the scenes to give an uninterrupted concentration as you work.

Built with the convenience of photographers in mind, users will also enjoy a lens information panel for easy confirmation of information without looking through the camera’s viewfinder. Take control of the entire experience by customising operations with assignment of functions to suit your preferences with the lens function (L-Fn) button. Beyond that, achieve stable exposure even when the scenes change in brightness as even the flashing neon lights in a city at night would not prevent users from achieving a smooth and naturally captured image with the lens’ aperture control.

Another factor that makes this a truly dependable lens is its aperture control (AE) as it is built with the adoption of an electro-magnetic aperture mechanism to ensure every shot is precise, even with continuous shooting.

Be it rain or shine, the lens features superior dust- and drip-resistant performance[2] that effectively seals the lens against dust and water droplets from the moving parts on the lens. Meanwhile, the frontmost lens elements is covered in fluorine coat for useful anti-fouling performance, effectively repelling contaminants and making the cleaning of the lens easy. These thoughtful features ensure that users are able to take advantage of the lens’ durability and improved strength in whatever situations they may undergo to take the perfect shot.

The highly adaptable lens caters to a variety of needs with an assortment of accessories as it supports both the conventional screw-on filters and rear gel filters. It also provides the option between a dedicated lens hood that supports filter attachment (HB-97) where a 112mm screw-on filter can be attached directly to the hood, or the normal lens hood (HB-96) that is suitable to be used when there is no filter attachment. The latter can be a good choice for those on the go as it allows for enhanced portability with its smaller size.
