Expansive angle of view
With a 28mm focal length this lens is ideal for street, landscape and portrait photographers who need to get more into a scene. But that’s not all! The lens also boasts a minimum focus distance of just 0.19m which, when combined with its f2.8 aperture, makes it a go-to lens for close up and macro shooting.
Bright f2.8 aperture
The Nikkor Z 28mm offers a bright and fast f2.8 aperture for superb low-light performance, while the lenses' rounded 7-blade construction delivers soft, natural looking bokeh.
Perfect for video
The lens is perfect for video as well as photography thanks to its fast and silent auto-focus (AF) system, which is powered by an ultra-quiet stepping motor, allowing you to use it in environments where discretion is paramount.
Another feature of the lens that lends itself to videography is its silent control ring which can be set to control focus, aperture, exposure compensation, or ISO.
Focus breathing has also been significantly reduced so that focus can be adjusted without affecting the shot’s angle of view and the lenses compact size makes it perfect to use with a gimbal.
