Here’s a collection of images I’ve taken with the Nikon 14-24mm f/2.8G lens to give an idea of how it performs under real-world shooting conditions.

This lens is excellent optically. It has a fast maximum aperture of a f/2.8 that’s constant throughout the zoom range. And it has a very wide angle of view, from 114° at its widest (14mm) and 84° zoomed in to 24mm (that’s a on an FX full-frame camera; on a camera with a DX camera it’s 90° – 61°). It’s a rectilinear lens to minimize the distortion that you get from such a wide angle of view.

It doesn’t have vibration reduction, but that’s normal for wide-angle lenses. It does have ruggedized construction and is built to be resistant to dust and moisture.

My biggest complaint about this lens is how big and heavy it is–2.2 pounds (or 1 kg). That’s not much if you’re talking about long telephotos, and indeed there are heavier lenses like the 24-70mm, but for a wide-angle lens that isn’t quite versatile enough that I’d be happy leaving it on my camera most of the time, that’s hefty. It’s also not going to be a concern for everyone, but I like to travel light, and packing this lens forces me to leave out some of my other favorites.

One other thing worth mentioning about this lens is that because of the heavily curved front glass element, you can’t use the usual screw-on filters with this lens.

Here are some sample images I’ve shot with this lens. The shooting info is in the caption for each shot, and you can click on the images to open full resolution versions of you want a closer look. Most of these are travel photography shots, but I’ve sometimes used this lens for architectural and location clients when they want a particularly dramatic look, often for their social media campaigns, and aren’t concerned about converging verticals that would otherwise lead me to be using a tilt-shift lens.

Things Worth Knowing

This is a surprisingly hefty lens in terms of both size and weight.

One small thing I don’t really like about this lens is that the zoom ring is not as tight and smooth as I’d expect from a premium lens from Nikon. There’s a slight bit of give in the zoom ring. Not a lot, to be sure, and it still works normally, but it just doesn’t feel as it should. At first, I thought it was just something with the copy I got, but I’ve since used another one that has the same issue, leading me to conclude that it’s just how they’re built. This is admittedly nit-picking, but I know Nikon can do better.

Where to Find Them

Nikon’s MSRP for this lens if $1899.95. You can find them at B&H Photo, Adorama, and Amazon.

News & Deals

With the holidays fast approaching, there’s some great deals on photography gear and services available. I’ve put together a roundup of Black Friday and Cyber Monday 2020 Photography Deals. It’s a running list as new deals are announced, so be sure to check back.

Canon announces new EOS Rebel T8i DSLR. Canon has announced their new T8i DSLR. 24MP APS-C cropped CMOS sensor, 4K24 video, and updated image processing and detection systems. It’s available for preorder from B&H Photo.

New Firmware for the Ricoh GR III. Ricoh has release firmware v1.31 for the GR III. Release notes are: “Corrected — When shooting with the multiple exposure, in rare cases the live view may not display correctly. Improved stability for general performance.” You can download it here.

New Canon 1D X Mark III Pro DSLR Announced. Canon has announced their new flagship model of pro DSLR, the 1D X Mark III. They’re sticking with a 20.1MP CMOS sensor, but it’s a new and improved version and boasts an incredible native ISO range of ISO 100 to ISO 102400 and an extended range that goes up to a jaw-dropping ISO 819200. With revamped autofocus, a new image processor, and all sorts of other bells and whistles, it’s no wonder that Canon is billing it as “The Ultimate EOS.”

New Manfrotto Pro Rugged Memory Cards. Manfrotto, an Italian probably best known for their tripods and studio accessories, has launched a new Pro Rugged range of high-end SD, microSD, and CompactFlash cards. While they don’t have a huge selection of sizes and speeds, the cards are aiming for very fast cards that can put up with rugged demands. For instance, they claim that their V90 rated SD cards can withstand three times the force (20kg / 45 lbs) of a regular SD card. I’ve ordered some to run through my speed tests.

New Sony Alpha a7 firmware released. A firmware update for the Sony a7R IV now lets you control external Sony flashes from the camera’s own menu system. Up to 15 flashes in five groups can be controlled via the camera. It also applies to the a7R III and a7 III.
