Nikon-Standard Quality

The Nikon Z 40mm f2 lens features the very same premium quality and expert craftsmanship features on all Z-mount lenses, and it’s this that enables expectational performance and high-quality image capture. The lens sees an advanced lens structure that’s made up of 6 elements arranged into 4 groups, including 2 aspherical lens elements. This arrangement may be small, but it does not limit the creativity and overall image quality that can be achieved by this lens. So much so that this lens can easily be used as an all-day prime angle lens for both photography and video capture.

Aperture & Focusing

This lens is equipped with an advanced AF system that provides fast, smooth and ultra-quiet performance. This is all thanks to an Internal Focusing (IF) system and powerful STM (stepping motor) AF drive motor that works seamlessly with the lens’s aperture diaphragm. The aperture ranges from its minimum f16 to its maximum f2, allowing the lens to excel in low-, poorly-lit shooting conditions as well as offering expressive control of depth of field. This is particularly useful when utilising the lens’s natural perspective that is excellent for capturing engaging video footage and portraiture.
