Nikon has joined the massive CES show with a couple of small but notable announcements for its FX-format Z Series mirrorless cameras. This includes a brand-new NIKKOR Z 14-30mm f/4 S lens and the Z 6 Filmmaker's Kit. This lens is the first native wide-angle zoom for the system and aims to match the design of the cameras themselves. It does feature an 82mm front thread to facilitate the use of filters, and a control ring to make changing select settings faster and more intuitive. And, of course, the lens is equipped with a quick and quiet autofocus motor.
