If you’ve used the AF-S Nikkor 14-24mm f/2.8G ED, the Nikon Z 14-30mm f/4 S seems like a baby of a lens in comparison. However, it has a greater zoom range and it’s easier to use with filters. Its collapsible design also makes it a little more portable than it might otherwise be.

While it's a shame that picture and sound quality haven't been upgraded, the iPhone 13 was great in these regards and the iPhone 14 is, too Excellent display Admirable headphone performance Solid build quality No upgrades to picture or sound Familiar design Notch is still present

Apple's latest non-Pro iPhone is superb - it's just that it's strikingly similar to last year's effort.

Still an incredible smartphone, Brilliant battery life gets a bit better, Excellent camera system gets a bit better

Last year’s Pro hardware, Wireless charging slow by modern standards, No USB-C; it’s now well overdue

There’s a huge amount to like about the Nikon Z 14-30mm f/4 S lens, and we can see it being extremely popular with Nikon Z owners. The fact that the comparable lenses from the existing Nikon F mount line-up are so much larger makes it even more appealing - saving users from having to use a huge and...

As a kit lens, the 24-70mm f/4 S provides enough versatility to satisfy most purchasers of Nikon’s Z-mount cameras, ranging from wide-angle to portrait-length perspectives. Its constant f/4 maximum aperture and electromagnetic aperture mechanism provide stable focus and exposure control and...

For reasons that this review hopefully makes clear, the Nikon Z 14-30mm f/4 S lens is one of the more controversial Z lenses to date. At its best, it’s excellent – somehow cramming a filter thread, a class-leading zoom range, and top-of-the-line performance into a seriously portable package.

More like an iPhone 13S. The generational upgrades for the iPhone 14 are limited to a few subtle changes. At the same time, however, the base price climbs to 800 USD, while the only true innovation happens inside the iPhone 14 Pro series.

excellent OLED display, dust- and waterproof, fast Wi-Fi, wide range of supported frequencies, great camera, very fast performance, good battery life

display limited to 60 Hz, charging rate limited to 20 watts, no macro lens, wide notch

Great image quality, practically silent autofocus and a relatively compact design make this a winning option for Z-series users. The f/4 maximum aperture may rule it out for some, but a fine balance has been struck for those who need something as powerful as it is practical.

Very compact considering its focal range; AF is practically silent; Built-in corrections banish distortions effectively; Flat front element easy to clean;

Collapsible barrel not always ideal; Slightly soft corners wide-open at 14mm; Not possible to click declicked Control Ring; Not cheap for an f/4 lens

Photographers used to hulking ultra-wide zoom lenses for SLRs might be surprised when they pick up the Nikon Nikkor Z 14-30mm f/4 S ($1,299.95). It's almost as small as a basic starter kit lens for an APS-C camera, but it covers a full-frame sensor, and houses premium optics in its svelte barrel. You'll have to reach for adapted lenses to find alternative zooms for your Nikon Z camera, but most photographers shouldn't have to—the 14-30mm is an excellent lens, priced in line with competing models, and an Editors' Choice winner. The Compact Ultra-Wide At just 3.4 by 3.5 inches (HD) when retracted, the Nikkor Z 14-30mm is one of the smallest ultra-wide zooms we've seen for any system. It's more than an inch shorter than the Sony FE 12-24mm F4 G (4.6 by 3.4 inches), and much smaller than similar lenses for SLRs, like the Sigma 12-24mm F4 DG HSM Art (5.2 by 4.0 inches). The Sigma is also notably heavier—it's 2.5 pounds, while the Nikon weighs in at 1.1 pound. That's a big disparity...
