The NIKKOR Z 28mm f/2.8 (SE) by Nikon is a remarkably compact and lightweight prime lens designed for FX-format cameras, showcasing a classic Nikon aesthetic. This Special Edition lens draws inspiration from the iconic NIKKOR lenses that were introduced alongside the Nikon FM2 film SLR camera, featuring design elements reminiscent of that era, such as knurling and a distinct control ring. It serves as a versatile wide-angle lens, ideal for capturing a variety of subjects, including landscapes, architecture, and documentary photography. With a maximum aperture of f/2.8, this lens provides excellent brightness and detail at a standard focal length. Enhancing its optical capabilities, a multi-focus system utilizing two stepping motors ensures rapid, precise, and silent focusing, along with full-time manual focus override, catering to both photography and videography requirements. Furthermore, a customizable control ring allows for seamless adjustments to various camera and exposure settings, making it an excellent choice for capturing spontaneous moments throughout the day.
- Compatible with FX and DX format Nikon Z-Series mirrorless cameras
- The control ring rotates to control focusing, aperture, ISO, or exposure compensation
- Two rapid autofocus motors function with minimal noise. The internal focusing mechanism employs a rear-focus configuration that segments the lens elements into designated groups, allowing only the rear group to shift during focusing, which enhances both speed and smoothness of operation. The positioning of these focus groups is meticulously regulated, leading to exceptionally precise and swift autofocus performance.
- Enables an easy transition from autofocus to manual during AF operation
- The placement of the focus groups is meticulously regulated, leading to remarkably precise and rapid autofocus control. Furthermore, by significantly minimizing aberrations, exceptional imaging quality is achieved throughout the entire shooting range, including at close distances.
- The multilayer lens coating enhances transmittance across a broader spectrum of wavelengths. This coating system significantly mitigates ghosting and flare effects that may arise in backlit conditions, enabling the capture of high-contrast images with vibrant gradation. Additionally, it effectively reduces ghost and flare effects resulting from internal reflections specific to digital cameras, ensuring exceptional color balance and reproduction, as well as superior optical performance.
