Review: Nikon Nikkor Z 14-24mm f/2.8 S
In 2007, Nikon made waves with their F-mount 14-24mm f/2.8. At the time, most major manufacturers wide zooms were limited to the 16mm range on the wide end.

When Fujifilm first created the X-System, they came out of the gate with three outstanding prime lenses…a unique decision in today’s world where zooms are considered the bread and butter of a system, especially in the consumer market.
