📋 Tender Overview
Nikon Corporation Nikon is pleased to announce the release of the fast ultrawide-angle zoom lens NIKKOR Z 14-24mm f2.8 S that is compatible with full-frame Nikon FX-format mirrorless cameras for which the Nikon Z mount has been adopted.The NIKKOR Z 14-24mm f2.8 S is a fast ultrawide-angle zoom lens that is part of the S-Line1 of NIKKOR Z lenses. Throughout the entire zoom range a constant fast maximum aperture of f2.8 is maintained while delivering incredibly sharp and clear rendering performance from maximum aperture and throughout the entire frame. It is the worlds shortest2 and lightest2 lens in its class with a length of approximately 124.5 mm and a weight of approximately 650 g. The NIKKOR Z 14-24mm f2.8 S is the perfect lens for a wide variety of landscapes from starry skies and mountain scenes to cityscapes. It allows users to enjoy recording of both stills and videos with the realistic and dynamic expression characteristic of ultrawide-angle lenses.Additionally in comparison to the AF-S NIKKOR 14-24mm f2.8G ED point-image reproduction of point light sources as well as backlight resistance which effectively suppresses ghost and flare even under harsh lighting conditions have both improved drastically. Despite being an ultrawide-angle lens with a maximum aperture of f2.8 adoption of a lens with aspherical surfaces on both sides for the front-most element has realized a front surface that is very nearly flat. This enables the attachment of filters via the dedicated lens hood responding to a variety of photographers needs.Whats more in pursuit of operability for video shooting in addition to still-image shooting stepping motors STMs and a control ring have been adopted supporting smooth operability and quietness. The outstanding rendering performance characteristic of S-Line lenses can be enjoyed in video shooting as well.The NIKKOR Z 14-24mm f2.8 S joins the NIKKOR Z 24-70mm f2.8 S and NIKKOR Z 70-200mm f2.8 VR S to cover the wide-angle standard and telephoto ranges greatly expanding the possibilities of imaging expression for high amateur and professional photographers alike.Nikon will continue to pursue a new dimension in optical performance while meeting users needs contributing to the development of imaging culture with the hope of expanding possibilities for imaging expression.1The S-Line is a grade of NIKKOR Z lenses that demonstrate outstanding optical performance adhering to a high standard of design principles and quality control.2Among interchangeable zoom lenses for full-frame Nikon FX-format digital cameras with interchangeable lenses with a focal range beginning at 14 mm or lower and a constant maximum aperture of f2.8 throughout the zoom range. Statement based on Nikon research.NIKKOR Z 14-24mm f2.8 S primary featuresAdoption of a lens with aspherical surfaces on both sides for the front-most element and a design that maximizes the advantages of the short flange focal distance has helped to achieve the worlds shortest and lightest approx. 124.5 mm and approx. 650 g respectively lens in its class while enabling superior optical performance.Effective suppression of sagittal coma flare1 for superior point image reproduction characteristics that render stars as sharp points not only at the center of the frame but all the way to the edges.Adoption of Nano Crystal Coat and ARNEO Coat effectively reduces flare and ghosting caused by light.Designed to achieve superior dust- and drip-resistance2 provides toughness and durability for outstanding reliability and features a fluorine coating for superior antifouling performanceDrive sounds have been quietened by the AF mechanism for which a stepping motor STM has been adopted and the aperture mechanism.A click-less control ring is adopted for smooth operation and in consideration of eliminating unnecessary operational sounds with video recording.Equipped with an electromagnetic diaphragm mechanism for greater convenience.Adoption of L-Fn lens function button and a lens information panel supports smooth operation.When the dedicated lens hood supplied is attached screw-on filters can be attached to the front of the lens. Sheet-type gel filters can also be inserted in the filter slot at the rear of the lens.The new Neutral Color NC Filter 112mm and Circular Polarizing Filter II 112mm are scheduled to be released at the same time as the NIKKOR Z 14-24mm f2.8 S.
