Photographer Jimmy McIntyre has been working with Nikon, shooting a pre-production sample of the new Z 14-30mm F4 S lens. This compact wideangle zoom weighs just 485g (17oz) and supports screw-in (82mm) filters, making this dust and moisture-sealed lens it a potentially useful addition to Z shooters' kitbags when it becomes available later this year.
Jimmy took these photos using a Nikon Z7 and at Nikon's request, we're only showing out-of-the-camera JPEGs. Watch out for more samples from a production lens as soon as we can get our hands on one.

A lot of really great zoom lenses were released this year - vote for your favorites in our 2019 readers polls.
Nikon has announced a compact, ultra-wide 14-30mm F4 zoom lens for its Z-series full-frame mirrorless cameras. The lens weighs just 485g (17oz) and supports screw-on filters: a rarity for lenses in this class.
The Sony Alpha 1 is Sony's flagship mirrorless camera for, well, just about anything. With a 50MP sensor, it gives you tons of resolution, but it also lets you fire off burst images at 30 fps for fast action sports. Add in 8K video capture and you have a really impressive package.
The DJI Air 2S is exactly what many drone enthusiasts have been asking for: a consumerdrone with a 1"-type camera sensor that's budget-friendly. Does it live up to the hype? In our opinion, yes.
DxO has just released PureRaw, a simple, standalone program that can automatically apply its high-quality lens corrections and impressive noise-reduction algorithms to your Raw files, and then pass those Raw files off to your favorite editing app. We're pretty impressed by it – find out why in our review.
The Fujifilm Fujinon XF 70-300mm F4-5.6 R LM OIS WR is a very versatile, compact telephoto zoom lens. But how does it perform? Read our review to find out.
The X-E4 is going to make a lot of photographers happy, especially those craving a near-pocket-size X-mount body with Fujifilm's latest IQ performance.
