Nikon NIKKOR Z 14-30mm f/4 S

72.6 Travel Score
14-30mmf/22Nikon ZWeather Sealed
Why we recommend this

The constant f/4 aperture across the 14-30mm zoom range and exceptionally light 119g weight make this an ultra-portable wide-angle option for the Z system. Its retractable design collapses to a compact size for travel, yet delivers sharp S-Line optics without the bulk of an f/2.8 lens. This lens is best for landscape and architecture photographers who prioritize a lightweight kit for long hikes and street shooters needing a discreet wide zoom.

NiSi Sunstar 9mm f/2.8 Sunstar ASPH 9mm

45.7 Travel Score
9mmf/16Nikon ZWeather Sealed
Why we recommend this ▼

Its 10-blade straight aperture renders distinct 10-point sun stars from specular highlights at any setting, a unique optical signature for an ultrawide 9mm f/2.8 prime. The all-metal, weather-sealed build incorporates two aspherical and two ED elements for high sharpness in a compact 364g manual focus design. This lens is best for landscape and architecture photographers who prioritize creative in-camera starburst effects over autofocus convenience.
