NIKKOR Z 14-24mm f/2.8 S Lens

The NIKKOR Z 14-24mm f/2.8 S is a professional ultra-wide-angle zoom created for landscapes, architecture, interiors, night skies, events and advanced video production. Its expansive 14mm perspective captures dramatic foregrounds and immense surroundings, while the constant f/2.8 aperture supports low-light work throughout the zoom range.

Part of Nikon’s premium S-Line, the lens combines outstanding edge-to-edge resolution with sophisticated flare control, fast autofocus and extensive weather sealing. At approximately 650 grams, it delivers professional f/2.8 performance in a remarkably manageable design.

🌄 Expansive 14-24mm Coverage

The lens covers a broad range of ultra-wide perspectives:

• 14mm: Dramatic landscapes, expansive interiors, night skies and creative foreground emphasis

• 16–18mm: Architecture, real estate, environmental subjects and wide establishing shots

• 20mm: Travel, documentary photography and natural-looking wide compositions

• 24mm: Events, groups, environmental portraits and general wide-angle photography

On a Nikon DX-format camera, the lens provides an angle of view comparable to approximately 21-36mm on full frame.

🌟 Constant f/2.8 Aperture

The lens maintains its bright f/2.8 maximum aperture throughout the entire zoom range.

This provides several important advantages:

• Faster shutter speeds in low light

• Lower ISO settings when image quality is critical

• Consistent exposure while zooming

• Improved control over depth of field

• Brighter viewing and autofocus performance

• Greater flexibility for night-sky photography

• Consistent operation during video recording

The combination of a 14mm field of view and f/2.8 aperture makes this lens especially valuable for astrophotography, indoor events and available-light architecture.

🔎 Premium S-Line Resolution

The optical design uses 16 elements arranged in 11 groups, including four ED glass elements and three aspherical elements.

These specialized elements help control:

• Chromatic aberration

• Coma

• Distortion

• Color fringing

• Loss of sharpness near the frame edges

The lens is designed to provide strong resolution from the center to the corners, making it an excellent match for high-resolution cameras such as the Nikon Z7II, Z8 and Z9.

✨ Advanced Flare and Ghosting Control

Nano Crystal Coat and ARNEO Coat work together to suppress reflections from light entering the lens at different angles.

This helps preserve contrast and color when photographing:

• Sunrise and sunset

• Backlit architecture

• City lights at night

• Bright stage lighting

• Interior spaces with windows

• The sun or another light source within the frame

Careful flare control is particularly important with ultra-wide lenses because their broad angle of view frequently includes strong light sources.

🌌 Excellent for Astrophotography

The combination of a wide 14mm perspective and constant f/2.8 aperture allows the lens to collect substantial light while capturing a large portion of the night sky.

Its optical correction helps stars retain their shape toward the frame edges, while the broad field of view allows foreground landscapes, buildings or trees to be incorporated into the composition.

The lens information display can also show focus distance, assisting with repeatable manual-focus settings in darkness.

🏛️ Architecture and Interior Photography

At 14mm, the lens can capture expansive rooms and large structures from positions where moving farther backward is impossible.

Its edge-to-edge resolution is particularly valuable for:

• Real estate photography

• Hotels and hospitality

• Commercial interiors

• Historic buildings

• Museums and galleries

• Architectural documentation

The ability to zoom toward 24mm helps produce more natural perspectives when an extremely wide view is unnecessary.

🎥 Designed for Professional Video

The NIKKOR Z 14-24mm f/2.8 S provides quiet autofocus and smooth aperture control for video recording.

Its wide field of view is useful for:

• Establishing shots

• Gimbal work

• Documentary interiors

• Real-estate tours

• Music videos

• Environmental interviews

• Night-sky time-lapse sequences

The lens is relatively compact and light for its class, making it easier to balance on gimbals and other support systems.

Focus breathing is carefully controlled so framing remains more consistent when focus shifts during a shot.

🎯 Fast Multi-Focusing System

The lens uses a multi-focusing system with two stepping motors. Separate focusing groups work together to provide fast, accurate and quiet focusing throughout the frame.

This system also helps maintain strong optical performance at close distances.

Autofocus can be overridden using the wide manual-focus ring, while the lens’s A/M switch allows quick changes between autofocus and manual operation.

🌸 Close-Focusing Capability

The lens focuses as close as approximately 0.28 metres throughout its zoom range.

Although it is not a macro lens, close focusing allows photographers to place small foreground subjects prominently within an expansive environment. This can create dramatic compositions with flowers, rocks, products or architectural details leading into the wider scene.

Maximum reproduction is approximately 0.13x.

🎛️ Professional Lens Controls

The lens includes several controls designed for efficient professional use:

• Customizable lens function button

• Customizable control ring

• Dedicated manual-focus ring

• A/M focus-mode switch

• Integrated lens information display

• Display-selection button

The control ring can be assigned to settings such as aperture, exposure compensation or ISO sensitivity, depending on the connected camera.

The OLED information panel can display aperture, focus distance or focal length without requiring the photographer to look at the camera’s rear monitor.

🔘 Flexible Filter Options

Ultra-wide lenses with curved front elements traditionally make filter use difficult. Nikon provides two filter solutions with this lens.

Rear Gel Filters

A filter holder at the rear of the lens accepts cut gel filters. This is particularly useful for specialized neutral-density, color-correction or light-pollution filters.

112mm Front Filters

The supplied HB-97 filter hood allows compatible 112mm screw-in filters to be attached in front of the lens. This provides a practical option for circular polarizers and neutral-density filters.

Because 112mm filters are large, photographers should confirm filter thickness and compatibility to minimize the possibility of vignetting.

🌦️ Built for Difficult Conditions

The lens incorporates sealing around moving parts and control rings to help resist dust and moisture.

A fluorine coating on the front element repels water droplets, fingerprints and dirt while making the glass easier to clean.

The lens is weather resistant rather than waterproof, and appropriate care should still be taken around heavy rain, blowing sand and salt spray.

🪶 Remarkably Manageable Design

At approximately 650 grams, the NIKKOR Z 14-24mm f/2.8 S is notably portable for a professional full-frame ultra-wide f/2.8 zoom.

Approximate specifications include:

• Length: 124.5mm

• Maximum diameter: 88.5mm

• Weight: 650g

• Minimum focus distance: 0.28m

• Maximum reproduction ratio: 0.13x

• Diaphragm: Nine rounded blades
