This is an incredible lens! From 14mm - 30mm, great range...
This is my first native glass for my Z6 and it works great for photos and video. No FTZ adapter needed and all of the benefits from using native glass. Very sharp, stable (With FTZ 3 points of stability in camera, no adaptor the number goes up to 5) compact, & with a reassignable focus ring. If you're looking for a lens in this range hit the breaks, this is a real winner. I love it! It also cost less then the 14-24mm F2.8 - (12yr old lens technology), wide open this is an F4 with a larger element. With my Z6 I'm very ok with it.

Love this lens, as I do all my native Z glass. A must have for any landscape shooter with a Z camera. Light, compact, sharp, weather sealed, and takes filters. With the larger lens mounts, and resulting size and weight reduction, it’s easier to carry all my Z lenses in my bag. I’ve bought nothing but native since going Z, and don’t intend to. Waiting for Nikon to release the 105mm macro, although the F mount is a great lens! Example photos are with a Z6: f8, 1/30, iso100, @ 16.0mm, and f9, 1/10, iso1250, @ 23.5mm respectively.

Great lens fir the price. With the ability of the new Mirrorless cameras and the ISO capabilities, the f4 is no issue. I have the 14-24 f2.8 as well, but for the price, you cannot beat this lens

If this lens is this amazing I can’t imagine what the 14-24 2.8s is like and God willing I’ll have it to but if I don’t this one is Competition grade.

Nikon Z Mount wide angle

Excellent lens. Very sharp at typical F8-F11 landscape aperture ranges. Typical lenses in this focal range are very heavy, expensive and don't take filters easily. This one is hiking friendly budget friendly and takes standard 82mm screw on filters. If your main purpose is astro photography, the 20 mm Prime lense or the more expensive 14-24 mm 2.8 will let in a lot more light. For general landscape or real estate photography,however, this lens is a great choice in the Nikon Z mount system

Previously used a Nikon 16-35 VR, and this lens is a nice upgrade, Sharper, wider, and much more compact. I was sold on this lens when i saw 14mm with 82mm filter threads.

A must have lens for Z-shooters!

A great compact, excellent quality wide-angle zoom for the Z-System. I consider it a really practical trade-up from my F-mount 14-24 f2.8 and while it's a stop slower, the ability to use filters I already own and compact size make it a must have lens for the Z-system. Very impressed with the overall image quality at any focal length. Using the lens on a Z9.

Nikon Z lens's are no joke. This f4 lens is so close to my 14-24 z 2.8 in image quality and performance. Much smaller and lighter, great color and sharp! Great option for my z9 when i don't need 2.8 and want to save weight and size. Also accepts screw in filters which is amazing for such a wide lens.

IF you're looking for a wide-angle for a Nikon Z camera, this should be on your shortlist. It's a good price point. It's likely the best value right now for an ultra wide-angle without having an F-mount lens on an adapter. Very sharp, even wide open. Compact for it's range and otherwise just works. VR on a Z6II can really help - assume it would be the same with other Z-range cameras with in-body VR.

What can I say... 14mm.. f/4 .. with SCREW ON 82mm filter threads!? Anyone whom has carried around a 150mm filter holder and filters knows why this is such a big deal. Tack sharp. Great IQ. I love this lens as a light weight ultra wide option !

Solid landscape wide lens for the money. It's nice to have an alternative to a high price lens with a lower ap, esp if you're just getting into wide angle work.

One the best lenses that Nikon has for landscape photography. Compact and with Z line lenses it is easy to lug around. With Best Buy membership I got a good deal with pints accrued with Z8 camera purchase too.

This is a really good leans for what it offers. It is light and compact and gives you a really good range for landscape shoots. The only irritating thing about it is how you have to extend it to be able to start using it. The build quality is also not on par with the Japanese Nikon lenses. But all in all, you would be happy you bought this one.
