Nikon Camera Lens NIKKOR Z 40mm f/2 [Nikon Z /Single Focal Length Lens]

Product Specifications

Basic Information

Product Features

- Standard 40mm lens that provides bokeh expression unique to single focal length lenses

This is a standard single focal length lens that allows you to enjoy natural bokeh with the versatile angle of view of 40mm focal length. The angle of view of a standard single focal length lens is close to the range of the human eye, making it easy to create a natural composition. The lens also allows for a variety of expressions depending on the shooting distance, making it suitable for a wide range of scenes such as portraits, close-ups, and street corner snapshots.

*This lens must be used with the latest version of the camera's firmware. If the firmware is not up-to-date, the lens may not be recognized correctly or some of its functions may not be available.

- Natural bokeh expression with a maximum aperture of f/2 brightness and 9 aperture blades

With a maximum aperture of f/2 and 9 aperture blades that provide a near circular bokeh effect, the lens produces a natural bokeh effect. Especially when shooting at close range, you can enjoy the soft bokeh expression that only a bright single focal length lens can produce. Beautiful bokeh can also be achieved when shooting with street lights or car lights in the background. The bright lens also allows you to set a faster shutter speed, which is effective in reducing blur when shooting hand-held, so you can easily enjoy taking snapshots even in dimly lit scenes.

- Focal length that is easy to use for Nikon DX-format Z series camera users

When mounted on a Nikon DX-format Z series camera, the focal length is equivalent to 60mm (35mm film format equivalent), providing an angle of view that gives a 3D effect like that of a medium telephoto lens. The angle of view, which is neither too narrow nor too wide, is ideal for portrait photography.

- Compact and lightweight body that maximizes the mobility of Nikon mirrorless cameras

The Z-mount system's short flange-back enables a compact and lightweight body with an overall length of approximately 45.5 mm* and a weight of approximately 170 g, which matches the compact Z series cameras. While reducing the size and weight of the photographic equipment, the Z mount's large aperture allows for high image quality, making it easier to enjoy high quality photography.

- Designed to be dustproof and drip-proof*.

The lens is designed to be dustproof and drip-proof*, with sealing to prevent dust and water droplets from entering the lens. Enjoy shooting without worrying about weather conditions.

(*This does not guarantee complete dustproof and drip-proof performance under all conditions.)

- Excellent short-range performance with a minimum focusing distance of 0.29 m

With a minimum shooting distance of 0.29m, you can get very close to your subject to obtain a powerful image. Even everyday snapshots and familiar landscapes can be upgraded to attractive works of art simply by shooting them. Table photos that boldly depict the main subject, as well as portraits that take advantage of blurred backgrounds, can also be expressed more impressively.

- Newly developed compact high-speed motor that achieves a good balance between miniaturization and high-speed, high-precision AF control

A newly developed small-diameter, high-torque STM (stepping motor) is used for AF drive. While contributing to body miniaturization, the STM also provides fast focus drive and high-speed, high-precision AF control. The STM also reduces the noise generated by the AF mechanism.

- Adoption of Electromagnetic Aperture Mechanism

An aperture blade unit with a drive mechanism is mounted on the lens body. The aperture can be precisely controlled by electric signals from the body, enabling stable exposure control (AE) at all times, including during continuous shooting.

- Non-sinkable body for quick response to a shutter release opportunity

The non-sinkable body type does not require any action to release the sinking mechanism, allowing you to take a picture immediately even when you have a sudden shutter release opportunity. This is advantageous for snapshots where you do not want to miss the best moment.

- Aspherical Lenses (2 elements)

Aspherical lenses with non-spherical curved surfaces on one or both sides can effectively correct various aberrations such as distortion and spherical aberration. Distortion is an aberration (image distortion) caused by the difference in magnification depending on the image height (distance from the center of the screen) when the subject is formed through the lens, and can be corrected by continuously changing the refractive power using an aspherical surface from the periphery of the lens center. In addition, a single aspherical lens can provide an aberration correction effect equivalent to that of multiple spherical lenses, contributing significantly to lens downsizing and weight reduction compared to spherical lenses.

- High operability to obtain images with slow and smooth changes in focus and brightness

The control ring can be assigned [M/A], [aperture value], [exposure compensation], or [ISO sensitivity] from the camera. The smooth feel of the control ring allows smooth and quiet operation of video and still image shooting. By rotating the control ring, functions set by the camera can be used during AF, and countermeasures against operation noise of the command dial and buttons are realized.
