The Z 40mm f2.0 is a much smaller, lighter and cheaper lens than the Z 50mm f1.8 S or Z 35mm f1.8 S. Its optical performance is not on the same level as from the S-line Nikkors but the new lens is still a solid performer and offers a better light gathering power and smoother Bokeh than the Z 28mm...

There is no doubt that the lens delivers an excellent to outstanding performance, and at a very keen price. Add to that the small, light form factor and we have perhaps an ideal travelling companion.

Excellent to outstanding sharpness, Very low CA, Modest vignetting, Low distortion, Virtually no flare, Pleasant bokeh, Light and compact, Dust and water sealing

At just under £249/$300 the Nikon Nikkor Z 40mm f/2 is a great-value lens. It has a couple of quirks but it generally produces very good quality images and it’s a lovely size and weight.

Good image quality, Weather-sealed, Light and compact

No focus scale, Single control ring, AF struggles near the closest focus distance

Of course it doesn't change the fact that, nevertheless, the Nikkor Z 40 mm f/2 might be a joy to use as it is able to take sharp, crisp photos. Compared to its system 1.8/35 and 1.8/50 brothers it will also allow you to save a lot of money.

very good resolution in the frame centre,, negligible longitudinal chromatic aberration,, slight lateral chromatic aberration,, practically zero distortion,, low astigmatism,, slight vignetting on the APS-C/DX sensor,, sensible performance against bright light,, silent and accurate autofocus.

blurry edges of the frame near the maximum relative aperture,, significant vignetting on full frame,, a bit too high coma,, both mount and barrel made of plastics.

Apple has given select media outlets and YouTubers access to the new iPhone 14 ahead of when it begins arriving in customers' hands on Friday, September 16. There are two models of the ‌iPhone‌ 14, the standard 6.1-inch ‌iPhone‌ 14 and the larger 6.7-inch ‌iPhone‌ 14 Plus.

A slight camera upgrade, new emergency features, and... not a whole lot else

Better selfie camera, Good battery life, Crash detection and satellite SOS are neat

It’s more like an iPhone 13S, Display is still 60Hz, eSIM transition will be easy for most but painful for some

The Apple iPhone 14 is no match for the just-released iPhone 14 Pro, but if you ignore that, it’s one of the most effective phones around.

Great cameras, front and back, Fast performance, Good battery life, Innovative safety features

Design too familiar, Some average features

It’s a great handset, but the improvements are so iterative that most of you will hardly notice what’s new.

Action mode offers truly superb video stabilization. eSIM makes it easy to switch phones (with other iPhones). Satellite SOS and Crash Detection add peace of mind.

Many of the specs remain the same as on the iPhone 13. Small battery gains. Photonic Engine isn’t as revolutionary as suggested.

While it's a shame that picture and sound quality haven't been upgraded, the iPhone 13 was great in these regards and the iPhone 14 is, too Excellent display Admirable headphone performance Solid build quality No upgrades to picture or sound Familiar design Notch is still present
