Great lens!

This a great little lens. Nice and sharp and I just love the 28mm perspective better than 35mm. To me this is a sweet spot lens. Just wide enough and just close enough.

This is a fun, light camera lens but feels sturdy. I tested this lens with my Nikon Z6 II and the pictures look great!

Great, compact lens paired with the Nikon ZF. Good image quality and quick enough to focus.

I picked up the 28mm f/2.8 SE lens to pair with the Nikon ZF both for size and looks. The 28mm has worked great for street photography shots and is bright enough for most uses. I have found the auto focus speed to be more than adequate and the image quality is perfect for street scenarios. It did not come with a lens hood but a small aftermarket one that accepts filters works well. This lens shares the same filter size as the 40mm f/2, making it good for using the same hood/filter combo on either lens. Highly recommended for those who like shooting at 28mm and don't need a f/1.8 or f/1.4 lens. It pairs well with the ZF.

Excellent Full frame lens on a body with vibration reduction

This is a great lower cost lens, but works better on a full frame Nikon body with vibration reduction. I love the light weight and image quality, but when used with a body that does not have vibration reduction you have to use a very steady hand.

Great Little Lens

I am so excited that I now have the Nikon Z 28mm f2.8 lens as one of my Nikon Z prime lenses. It's small size, light weight, and low aperture make it a great walk around lens. I can see it always being in my camera bag.

Excellent Lens!

Amazing image quality, light and portable, sharp wide open. Great little lens when you want to travel light, bring to parties, and for everyday general photography. The 28mm is no getting more use than my 24-70 due to size and weight.

Nice Lens

Nice lens, I own the older 28mm-2.8 ai-s lens as well, both work well on the zfc. It's nice to switch up to take advantage of the auto focus on the newer z lens. Great images from both lenses.

Solid and Light Weight

This is a perfect walk around lens for my Nikon Zf C as the EFL is 42mm. I will also be using it on occasion on my full frame bodies for the 28mm look when I want to go lighter. The image quality seems good and the lens is so light weight. It has a plastic mount but that is of no bearing to me as I got this as an alternative to my heavy, pro lenses.

It?s nifty, but just not wide enough.

I found that this lens is great for street shooters but just not wide enough for me if I wanted to Vlog. The image quality is pretty good for the size and price. It does not feel like the older F mount 50mm and 35mm 1.8?s but it is more modern and the design fits the New Z bodies perfectly.

The Z lens I've been waiting for.

The native Nikon Z lenses are broadly magnificent, modern lenses in terms of image quality, build, and handling. Though the f/1.8 lenses are not large, a truly compact lens has been something that I've wanted for years. So far, I'm really impressed with the how the 28 performs in-hand and really love how it transforms the camera into a compact, minimal, easy-to-carry solution.

Great little lens

This is not the perfect 28mm, but it is sharp in the center WO, and fun to use on the z body. Better than the legacy Minolta MD 28 I was using on my z6. So much smaller and unobtrusive than the other Z mount lenses. Great street or travel lens. Overall, for the modest price, I am really pleased with this lens.

Mighty Little Snapshoooter.

Like taking walks with your camera? Finding inspiration in everyday life? This is the ultra-compact lens for you. It's a joy to carry and shoot: one of the smallest, lightest Z primes. It's versatile: a classic focal length for candid street work. It's fast: an f/2.8 maximum aperture and dual stepping motors for autofocus. And like all Z lenses, its image quality is next-level.

Mighty Little Snapshoooter.

Compatible With Any Z Camera.

On a full-frame Z camera, you get a classic 28mm view for street work, architecture, interiors and situational portraits. On a DX-format Z camera, you get a 42mm equivalent view for natural snapshots, videos, portraits and more.

Compatible With Any Z Camera.

Get In Close.

With a close focusing distance of 0.63 feet (0.19 meters), NIKKOR Z 28mm f/2.8 rewards you for getting close to your subject. The wide perspective and deep depth of field let you incorporate more background information into your videos and stills.

Get In Close.

Dim The Lights.

The larger Z mount draws even more low-light performance from the wide f/2.8 aperture. Capture the mood of dimly lit situations with clarity and sharpness.

Dim The Lights.

The Multi Focus Difference.

Traditional primes focus by moving one group of lens elements with one motor. The NIKKOR Z 28mm f/2.8 divides that work between two focus groups and two high-speed, ultra-quiet stepping motors moving in sync with each other—a first for a non S-line Z lens. This multi-focus system focuses faster, but it also reduces distortion at the frame edges and close range scenes.

The Multi Focus Difference.

Customizable Control.

The control ring can be customized for the way you shoot. Use it for precise manual focusing or to adjust aperture, ISO or exposure compensation.

Customizable Control.

Video Saavy.

A classic 28mm is an outstanding video lens. The NIKKOR Z 28mm f/2.8 greatly suppresses focus breathing to prevent angle-of-view shifts during recording. Make smooth iris adjustments that create a natural shift in brightness. And all the while, the dual stepping motors are operating in near silence to preserve your audio integrity.

Video Saavy.
