Overview

The zoom range of 12-28 mm^* starting from the widest angle of view among APS-C size/DX-format lenses is suitable for shooting various scenes, from selfies to dynamic scenery, with a single lens.
- *Angle of view is equivalent to that of an 18-42 mm lens in full-frame/FX-format.
The adoption of a power zoom, a first for NIKKOR Z lenses, realizes smooth, comfortable zooming via its quietness, internal zoom mechanism, selectable zoom speed and a variety of operational options.
The minimum focus distance of 0.19 m/0.62 ft and maximum reproduction ratio of 0.21x enable dynamic close-up shots and tabletop photos with excellent rendering performance by boldly getting closer to subjects.
Equipped with an optical vibration reduction (VR) function that provides a blur-reduction effect equivalent to a shutter speed 4.5 stops faster*. A stable VR effect can be achieved in combination with the Z 30, Z fc or Z 50 body.
- *Based on CIPA Standard. This value is achieved when attached to an APS-C size/DX-format camera with the camera's VR function set to "NORMAL", and when zoom is set to the maximum telephoto position.
Despite being an ultrawide-angle lens, an extremely light weight and compact design are realized, making it easy to carry around for a long time during travel or on daily walks.
Thanks to the high flexibility of the design of the Z mount system, superb optical performance is achieved throughout the zoom range.
Advantageous features for video recording include quiet drive sound and smooth zoom operation with minimal shifting of the center of gravity, as well as effectively suppressed focus breathing.
- *Zooming during video recording may record lens' operational sounds in the footage. Rotate the zoom ring slowly when this is a concern. When using the power zoom with button operation, it is recommended to select a slower zoom speed.
Comfortable and smooth operation of the control ring and zoom ring is ensured via distinguishable design that prevents any operational error.
Designed with consideration for dust- and drip-resistant performance^*, enabling users to take it anywhere with greater confidence.
- *Thorough dust- and drip-resistance is not guaranteed in all situations or under all conditions.
