You can even choose between standard ($299.95) and Special Edition ($309.95) finishes depending on your aesthetic preferences. Occasional chromatic aberrations and a stuttering autofocus motor are our biggest complaints here, but those are acceptable compromises in light of the price and the lack of low-cost third-party options on the platform. That said, the premium Nikkor Z 24mm F1.8 S ($999.95) remains a better option for serious photographers who value optical perfection.Basic Black or Special Edition? The Z 28mm F2.8 is available in two versions. The standard has a black finish and no adornments—it looks like most of the other Nikkor Z lenses. We received the fancier Special Edition version for review. It comes at a modest $10 premium but resembles a 1980...

The Nikon Nikkor Z 28mm F2.8 lens sacrifices a bit of build quality to meet a reasonable asking price, but it captures pleasing images and offers lots of value.

Apple has given select media outlets and YouTubers access to the new iPhone 14 ahead of when it begins arriving in customers' hands on Friday, September 16. There are two models of the ‌iPhone‌ 14, the standard 6.1-inch ‌iPhone‌ 14 and the larger 6.7-inch ‌iPhone‌ 14 Plus.
