The Nikon Z 40mm f/2 Lens is a compact and versatile prime lens that offers photographers a great wide-angle and normal field of view. The lens is ideal for everyday use and excels well in all conditions as it features a bright f/2 maximum aperture, making it perfect to capture astonishing image quality in low light conditions on your FX or DX-format camera body.
Key features include a 60mm equivalent focal length when used on a DX-format model, two aspherical elements in the optical design to help limit the spherical aberrations and distortion, Super Integrated Coating that suppresses flare and ghosting, a rounded 9-blade diaphragm to produce pleasing out of focus quality that benefits the use of shallow depth of field and selective focus techniques and a powerful stepping motor that delivers remarkable smooth, quiet and fast autofocus.
Designed for FX-Format Nikon Z
Wide-normal prime lens is designed for FX-format Nikon Z-mount mirrorless cameras and can also be used with DX-format models, where it provides a 60mm equivalent focal length.
F/2 Ideal for Low Light
Bright f/2 maximum aperture excels in difficult lighting conditions and also offers increased control over depth of field for isolating subjects using depth of field.
Optical Design
Two aspherical elements are featured in the optical design and help to limit spherical aberrations and distortion in order to achieve high sharpness and accurate rendering.
Super Integrated Coating
Super Integrated Coating suppresses flare and ghosting for improved contrast and colour fidelity when working in strong lighting conditions.
Autofocus Ideal for Both Photo and Video
Stepping motor delivers impressively smooth, quiet, and fast autofocus performance that is well-suited to both stills and video applications. Full-time manual focus override is also possible and an internal focusing design is used, where only the internal lens groups are moved during focusing, to maintain the overall length of the lens during use and to promote faster focusing speeds.
Lens Design
Programmable Control Ring is, by default, set to adjust manual focus but can also be used to control aperture or exposure compensation.
Beneficial Design for Continues Shooting
Specialized electromagnetic aperture mechanism provides greater exposure control stability that is especially beneficial when working with fast continuous shooting rates.
Rounded Nine-Blade Diaphragm
Rounded nine-blade diaphragm promotes a pleasing out of focus quality that benefits the use of shallow depth of field and selective focus techniques.
