Nikon Z 28mm F2.8 SE Nikkor Lens in Black

The Nikon Z 28mm F2.8 SE Nikkor Lens is a compact, special-edition wide-angle prime lens designed for Nikon's Z-mount mirrorless camera system. With a focal length of 28mm, it provides an angle of view slightly wider than normal human vision, making it versatile for everyday photography, travel, and environmental portraits. Its fast maximum aperture of f/2.8 allows for good performance in lower light and enables creative control over depth of field. This lens is constructed with nine optical elements arranged in eight groups, including two aspherical elements that help control aberrations and distortions for sharp, clear images. It features a stepping motor (STM) for fast, near-silent autofocus, making it suitable for both stills and video recording. The lens has a seven-blade rounded diaphragm for pleasing out-of-focus highlights (bokeh) and a minimum focusing distance of 0.19 metres, allowing for dynamic close-up shots. Its design aesthetic is specifically tailored to complement the retro style of the Nikon Z fc camera body. Ideal for photographers and content creators seeking a lightweight, high-quality lens they can leave mounted on their camera, the Nikon Z 28mm F2.8 SE is well-suited for street photography, landscapes, architecture, vlogging, and casual portraiture. When paired with an APS-C (DX) format Z-mount camera like the Z fc, it provides an effective focal length of approximately 42mm, which is a classic field of view for candid shots. Its combination of optical performance, compact size, and stylish design makes it a practical and enjoyable tool for everyday creative use.
