This will be a good lens to have in the bag.

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!

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.

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.

Love the compactness of this lens. It's a great wide angle prime lens if you are trying to reduce the size and bulk of your camera. It functions well and produces nice photos.

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.

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.

Great walk around lens to have on my Z5. Plan on spending and extra $10-60 if you want a lens hood to put on it.

Nice little lens. It?s not an S lens, but for the price I don?t think you can beat it.

I bought this for my Z6 and have loved it, however, now that I have my Z fc, I love it even more! Fast, sharp and downright fun.

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.

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.

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 performance of this lens on a Z6ii is exceptional. This set up will be my Main Street photography setup.

This is such a great lightweight lens option for walking around with your mirrorless. The entire camera with the lens on it weighs less than just my 50mm Z lens. This little lens is quick to focus and takes beautiful pictures in low light just like the other mirrorless lenses from Nikon.

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.

Sharp compact lens. Great for street & group photos. Very pleased overall. Corners are best stopped down a stop or two.

Love this lens. It has that throwback look but with Z mount performance. Super lightweight, and easy to carry around on my Z5.

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.

Because you're a passionate photographer who loves to capture the beauty of everyday life, the NIKKOR Z 28mm f/2.8 Lens is the perfect companion for your camera. This ultra-compact lens is one of the smallest, lightest Z primes available, making it a joy to carry and use. Its versatility shines through its classic focal length, ideal for candid street photography, architectural shots, interior spaces, and situational portraits.
Equipped with a fast f/2.8 maximum aperture and dual stepping motors for autofocus, this lens delivers superior image quality that sets it apart from other Z lenses. When paired with a full-frame Z camera, it provides a classic 28mm view, while on a DX-format Z camera, it offers a 42mm equivalent view, perfect for natural snapshots, videos, portraits, and more.
The NIKKOR Z 28mm f/2.8 Lens is so compact and lightweight, it's easy to forget it's even there. It's a compact prime lens that doesn't extend or retract, making it always ready for action. Whether you're using it as your main walk-around lens or as a lightweight second lens, it's designed to accompany you wherever you go.
This lens encourages you to get close to your subjects, with a close focusing distance of 0.63 feet (0.19 meters). The wide perspective and deep depth of field allow you to incorporate more background information into your videos and stills, creating a richer visual narrative.
In low-light situations, the larger Z mount draws more performance from the wide f/2.8 aperture, capturing the mood of dimly lit scenes with clarity and sharpness. The NIKKOR Z 28mm f/2.8 Lens also features a multi-focus system that divides the work between two focus groups and two high-speed, ultra-quiet stepping motors. This unique system not only focuses faster but also reduces distortion at the frame edges and close range scenes.
The control ring on this lens can be customized to suit your shooting style, allowing for precise manual focusing or adjustments to aperture, ISO, or exposure compensation. As a video lens, the NIKKOR Z 28mm f/2.8 suppresses focus breathing to prevent angle-of-view shifts during recording, while the dual stepping motors operate in near silence to preserve your audio integrity.
The NIKKOR Z 28mm f/2.8 Lens incorporates advanced technologies like a stepping motor for fast, accurate, smooth, and quiet autofocus, and an aspherical lens to reduce aberrations and enable a more compact lens size. It also features an internal focusing (IF) system for closer focusing distances and a Super Integrated Coating for multilayer coating of the optical elements. The electromagnetic diaphragm mechanism provides highly accurate electronic diaphragm or aperture blade control during continuous shooting.
In conclusion, the NIKKOR Z 28mm f/2.8 Lens is a compact, versatile, and high-performing lens that's perfect for photographers who love to capture the world around them. This lens bundle also includes a Bower 52mm Video Filter Kit, Lens Pouch, Lens Cleaner, Cleaning Kit, and Lens Cap Tether, providing everything you need for your photography adventures.
