Rated 5 out of 5

Extreme Close-up

The use case that prompted this purchase was the desire for the depth of field from a short focal length for close-ups of flowers when a tripod was inappropriate. I was pleased, but look at the photos and you be the judge. My only quibble is no digital readout of focal length, no problem that into is included in the photo's meta-data. Only drawback, now I want a full frame zoom of similar focal length for my Nikon Zf. Included photos were shot at 12 mm and f/4 at or near minimum focus distance.

Worth it!

Very happy with this lens, first picture came out pretty good for guessing the settings.

Nikor Z DX 12-28 PZ VR lens

Good for video, but not really a big help for photography.

Much better than expected!

I've only had the lens a few hours, so I still need to put it through its paces. I did have some initial thoughts I'd like to share for those considering purchasing this. What I like: small size, light weight, internal zoom, ultra-wide to normal focal range What I don't like: plastic mount (I knew it had this type of mount) I am pleasantly surprised by the "power zoom". I was afraid it might zoom very clumsily, but it does so quickly, smoothly, and quietly. Apparently you can slow down the zoom speed for slower video transitions. I'm using it for still photography, though, so I'll keep this setting as is. This lens feels like a normal (non-power), internal zoom. Nikon did a great job with this lens!

Smooth.
Fluidly starts and stops zooming with no jumpiness.

Stable.
Zooms at your selected speed through the entire sequence.

Silent.
All zooming occurs internally with a linear drive.

VR image stabilization keeps shots steady.
4.5 stops of built-in optical VR (Vibration Reduction) counteracts shakiness for steadier videos, sharper photos and better low-light performance.

Close focusing.
Get as close as 11 inches from the lens and capture the fine details of jewelry, food, crafts, makeup-whatever you hold up to the camera.

Lightweight. Compact. Easy to carry-everywhere.

Built for everyday use.
Designed carefully considering dust- and drip-resistant performance with a sealing that prevents dust and water droplets from entering the lens.

Technology

Internal Zoom Mechanism
With the internal zoom mechanism, the total length of the lens barrel is fixed. This keeps the lens' center of gravity almost constant even during zooming.

Power Zoom
The power zoom has been designed in pursuit of light and responsive operational feel. This function achieves smooth zooming at a constant speed and various options for zoom operation including via remote-control capabilities. That ensures comfortable photo shooting and video recording.

Aspherical Lens
A lens with a curved, non-spherical surface. Used to reduce aberrations and enable a more compact lens size. Aspherical lenses minimize coma and other types of lens aberrations, even when used at the widest aperture. They are particularly useful in correcting distortion in wide-angle lenses and help contribute to a lighter, more compact design by reducing the number of standard (spherical) elements necessary. Aspherical lens elements correct these distortions by continuously changing the refractive index from the center of the lens.

Vibration Reduction
A Nikon in-lens technology that improves image stability by automatically compensating for camera shake. Lenses that offer VR will feature the abbreviation VR on the lens barrel.

ED (Extra-Low Dispersion) Glass
An optical glass developed by Nikon that is used with normal optical glass in telephoto lenses to obtain optimum correction of chromatic aberrations.

IF Lens
A NIKKOR lens in which only the internal lens group shifts during focusing. Thus, IF NIKKORS do not change in size during AF operation, allowing for compact, lightweight lenses capable of closer focusing distances. These lenses will be designated with the abbreviation IF on the lens barrel.

Electromagnetic Diaphragm Mechanism
An electromagnetic diaphragm mechanism in the lens barrel provides highly accurate electronic diaphragm or aperture blade control when using auto exposure during continuous shooting.
