Nikon Camera Lens NIKKOR Z 40mm f/2 (SE) [Nikon Z /single focus lens]

Product Specifications

Basic Information

Product Features
With a focal length of 40mm* angle of view, this lightweight and compact lens can handle a variety of scenes and subjects.
You can easily carry the uniquely designed lens body with you wherever you go and enjoy not only high-quality snapshots and portraits, but also the attractive bokeh that only a maximum aperture of f/2 can produce.

When mounted on an APS-C size/DX format Z camera: 60mm equivalent (35mm format equivalent)

- Heritage design to match the Z fc
The NIKKOR Z 40mm f/2 (SE), with its unique and eye-catching design among the NIKKOR Z lenses, is the perfect Special Edition (SE) lens for the Z fc mirrorless camera (*APS-C size/DX format), which is clad in the atmosphere of the Nikon FM2 film SLR camera. (SE) lens.
The design is inspired by Nikon's iconic "Nikon FM2" era manual lenses, and the knurling on each control ring has been faithfully reproduced by studying the blueprints of that era. Furthermore, attention to design is also given to the non-slip base shape and the control ring with a strong sense of presence. The lens combines a high level of design and operability that makes shooting a pleasure.

- Bright maximum aperture F value for natural bokeh
You can enjoy the large, soft bokeh that only a maximum aperture of F2 can produce. The soft bokeh in the background will transform an everyday scene or a portrait into a scene with more impact. The 9 diaphragm blades also provide a natural rounded ball bokeh effect. The bright lens also allows for faster shutter speeds in dimly lit areas to reduce blurring, making handheld photography easier.

- Standard focal length for a wide range of scenes
The standard focal length of 40mm allows you to capture a wide range of scenes and subjects, from snapshots to portraits, with high image quality. The lens is a compact, lightweight lens that can be used anytime, anywhere.

- Compact and lightweight lens for anytime, anywhere shooting
To maximize the mobility of mirrorless cameras, the lens is compact and lightweight, with an overall length of approximately 45.5 mm (*from the reference surface of the lens mount to the tip of the lens) and a weight of approximately 170 g. You can carry it anywhere and easily take pictures of various scenes around you. In addition, since the lens does not need to be retracted when shooting, you can quickly respond to a sudden shutter release opportunity.

- Minimum shooting distance of 0.29 m in front of the lens
The minimum shooting distance of 0.29m allows you to get very close to the subject when shooting table photos and other subjects. The shorter shooting distance allows for greater blurring of the background, which results in a three-dimensional image with the subject highlighted.

- Superior AF Performance
The STM (stepping motor) is used in the AF mechanism to achieve high-speed, high-precision AF control with excellent noise reduction. The small-diameter, high-torque STM also contributes to both the downsizing of the lens body and AF control performance.

- Adoption of Electromagnetic Aperture Mechanism
An aperture unit with a unique drive mechanism is employed to achieve high-precision aperture control by electronic signals from the camera body. This enables stable exposure control even during continuous shooting.

- Dustproof and drip-proof design*.
Despite its compact size and light weight, the lens is designed to be dustproof and drip-proof*, with sealing to prevent dust and water droplets from entering the lens.
*This does not guarantee complete dustproofing and drip-proofing under all conditions.

- Designed with movie shooting in mind
Driving noise during AF and aperture control has been minimized. The click-less control ring also reduces operation noise, allowing users to enjoy movie shooting in quiet places without worrying about noise during shooting.

- Control Ring for Comfortable and Smooth Operation
The control ring provides a smooth operating feel with slow and smooth changes in focus and brightness to achieve natural video expression. Focus [M/A]*, aperture value, exposure compensation, and ISO sensitivity functions can be assigned to the control ring from the camera for more intuitive operation.
*Manual focusing mode allows for immediate manual focusing by operating the control ring during autofocusing.

- Focus Bleeding Reduction
Effectively suppresses the angle of view shift* that tends to occur during focusing, so that natural-looking images can be obtained even if the focus position is changed after the composition is set.
*Focus Bleeding is the angle of view shift that occurs when moving the focus from the front to the back or from the back to the front.
