I purchased this lens refurbished from Nikon store and love this lens for low light work I do. I own the 14-24mm S as well and I’ve found that both of these lenses offer great performance and their own use cases. As you mentioned, a fun walk around lens to be sure. I’m really glad I bought this lens and continue to use, it’s fun and a good performer. BTW can’t be too bad I know Joe McNally owns one😊.

I already have the 14-30 f4 so I probably won’t be buying this lens. I did purchase the 70-180 f2.8 and love it. Great performance, smaller and lighter than the 70-200, a fantastic value. I am very interested in the 28-75 f2.8. I love that Nikon is offering this value focused trinity.

I own the 14-24 2.8 S, 24-70 2.8 S, and 70-200 2.8 S. My camera bag is now full of goodness with the 50mm MC, 24-120S, 105MC, 180-600 and 800 mm PF. Basically have majority of use cases covered. Now saving for a second camera to back up my Z9. In the meantime, the Plena is next target goal mang.

Funnily enough I started considering getting this lens just today. Would nicely complete my trinity (currently have the Tamron 35-150 and Nikon's 180-600). I badly need a lens for wider angle shots

I found this lens to be a lot of fun to use and the results are great. You'll love it. Thanks for watching.

Looks like a nice, reasonable alternative in those focal lengths but owning the 14-30 f/4 ill probably never have any real use for this guy.

Oh probably not. I like the idea for folks that want a whole trinity for WAY less though

Not a bad contender. With the focusing motor and Nikon coatings it's strange that people keep thinking this is a Tamron lens. Maybe patent design is on loan but everything else seems to be Nikon.

I think all three alternative trinity lenses are tamron designs. Whether Nikon give them the glass for them to make, or Tamron gave Nikon the design for them to construct, all 3 of those are basically exact tamrons in the sony system. haha. Who know which employees built the thing but either way they did a good job.

@@ZWadePhoto I believe there is a video out there comparing the 28-75 with the G2 for Z mount but I don't recall a video comparing it to the Sony e mount version 1 (adapted) that would be a true comparison. Either way I bought the (Nikon) version and honestly can't justify buying the 24-70 S line version. The only one I wouldn't hesitate to buy would be the 14-24 S instead of the 17-28. Unless I could maybe get it used cheap. Side note I am really waiting for the 24 1.2 for Astro.

I want a brighter lens than z 14-30 f/4

This is it. Unless you need 14mm, then the only other options thats even better than this is the 14-24mm f/2.8 S. Which is incredible btw.
