Product Specifications

Basic Information

Product Features

- Compact and lightweight design for easy portability and excellent weight balance
Weighing only 450g, the slim and compact design makes it easy to take with you wherever you go. The lens barrel does not change its overall length when zooming, making it easy to balance when zooming, whether hand-held or mounted on a gimbal, and also makes it easy to carry.

- Focal length range for dynamic expression of ordinary scenes
The focal length range covers from an ultra-wide angle of 17mm for expressing perspective to a wide angle of 28mm for expressing the natural expanse of space. Combined with a compact and lightweight design that can be easily carried around, the lens can be used for a wide variety of subjects and shooting situations, including portraits, snaps, and landscapes.

- Impressive bokeh expression
The shallow depth of field provided by the maximum aperture of 2.8 allows for a natural bokeh effect, effectively emphasizing the subject. The bokeh effect remains beautifully shaped all the way to the periphery of the image, creating a fantastic atmosphere.

- Bright maximum aperture F value that is easy to use even in dark places
With a bright maximum aperture of 2.8, the camera can shoot at higher shutter speeds in dark scenes without raising the ISO sensitivity. The bright maximum aperture of 2.8 allows for faster shutter speeds in dark scenes without raising the ISO sensitivity.

- Minimum shooting distance of 0.19m (*at 17mm focal length) for dynamic image expression
The minimum focusing distance is 0.19 m, the shortest among full-frame/FX-format NIKKOR Z wide-angle zoom lenses*, which allows you to boldly approach the main subject to capture a large, perspective-enhancing background captured widely with the ultra-wide 17 mm focal length and blur it appropriately with the aperture of 2.8 mm to produce impressive photographic expressions. The lens is also capable of capturing large, boldly close-up images of the main subject while maintaining a moderate blurring of the background with an aperture of 2.8.

- Fast, quiet, and stress-free AF performance
The STM (stepping motor), with its excellent response, enables the camera to quickly focus on moving subjects, whether still or moving video. This allows for quiet shooting on stage and in other settings.

- Easy-to-use design that does not change the total length of the lens barrel
Since the total length of the lens barrel does not change with zooming, it is easy to maintain balance during zooming operations, whether hand-held or mounted on a gimbal, for comfortable shooting.

- Suppression of focus breathing
Focus breathing, which occurs when moving the focus from the front to the back or from the back to the front, is suppressed. This allows the user to concentrate on shooting without worrying about the angle of view change during focus.

- Highly Quiet and Smooth Control
In addition to quiet AF operation, the control ring is click-less to reduce operation noise during video recording. The smooth operation of the control ring enables slow and smooth changes in focus and brightness, and the flicker-free aperture control provides natural-looking images with smooth changes in brightness.

- High image quality obtained consistently from the maximum aperture regardless of shooting distance
The lens features one Super ED lens, two ED lenses, and three aspherical lens elements to deliver stable high resolution from the maximum aperture across the entire zoom range, regardless of the shooting distance. The lens can handle a wide variety of subjects and shooting situations, such as dynamic close-ups and landscapes that take advantage of the ultra-wide-angle perspective, expanding the range of expression.

- Sophisticated design with easy operation
Smooth satin finish paint emphasizes the series feel with the NIKKOR Z 28-75mm f/2.8 lens. The zoom ring and control ring with differently designed knurling* are easily identifiable at your fingertips, and the wide zoom ring provides reliable zoom operation.
*The uneven shapes on the focus ring and control ring are designed to prevent slipping.

- Dustproof, drip-proof, and dirt-proof design for worry-free carrying*.
Effective sealing and a smudge-proof coating on the frontmost lens surface ensure dustproof, drip-proof, and smudge-proof performance. It can be used with peace of mind for everyday shooting.
*We do not guarantee complete dustproof and drip-proof performance under all conditions.

- Highly versatile ø67mm filter attachment size
The ø67mm filter attachment size is relatively small for an ultra-wide-angle lens and highly versatile, allowing the lens to be used with the NIKKOR Z 28-75mm f/2.8 and NIKKOR Z 24-200mm f/4-6.3 VR, which have the same filter attachment size.
