Nikon z 14 30mm f 4 s vs nikon z 17 28mm f 2 8?

Both are full-frame Nikon Z zooms with autofocus and no stabilisation, and they fit the same list of Nikon Z bodies, including the APS-C Z50, Z fc, Z30 and Z50 II.

The difference is the trade-off between reach and light. The Nikon Z 14-30mm f/4 S goes wider, to 14mm, and reaches to 30mm. The Nikon Z 17-28mm f/2.8 is brighter across its range but stops at 17mm on the wide end and 28mm on the long end.

My pick: if you shoot interiors, architecture or landscapes and want the widest view, take the 14-30mm. If you shoot in dim rooms, events or anything where you want softer backgrounds, take the 17-28mm. For more background on focal lengths, see the focal length converter.
