Nikon NIKKOR Z 28-75mm f/2.8 VR Lens

The NIKKOR Z 28-75mm f/2.8 stands out as the most streamlined f/2.8 zoom lens designed for FX-format cameras by Nikon. Its lightweight and agile design allows for swift handling, making it suitable for a range of photographic applications. This lens covers a versatile focal length from wide-angle to portrait, excelling in low-light conditions and providing excellent control over depth of field. It is particularly well-suited for various shooting scenarios, including landscapes, street photography, portraiture, documentary work, and travel.

The constant f/2.8 maximum aperture enhances performance in available light and allows for greater manipulation of depth of field, facilitating selective focus techniques. The inclusion of one Super ED element and one extra-low dispersion element significantly minimizes color fringing and chromatic aberrations across the zoom range, resulting in improved clarity and color accuracy.

Additionally, three aspherical elements are incorporated to mitigate spherical aberrations and distortion, ensuring sharp images with precise rendering. The rounded nine-blade diaphragm contributes to a visually appealing out-of-focus quality, enhancing the effectiveness of shallow depth of field and selective focus methods.

• Stepping motor maintains quick and quiet autofocus performance that’s ideal for both photo and video needs.
• An internal focusing design is used, where only the internal lens groups are moved during focusing, to maintain the overall length of the lens during use and to promote faster focusing speeds.
• Minimum focusing distance of 7.5″ benefits working with close-up subjects.
• Focus breathing has been suppressed to benefit video use and maintain a consistent field of view when changing focus.
• The lens features an impressively compact and lightweight design for an f/2.8 standard zoom, measuring only 4.8 inches in length when retracted and weighing 30% less than the NIKKOR Z 24-70mm f/2.8 S lens.
• The Programmable Control Ring is configured by default to adjust manual focus, but it can also be utilized to manage aperture or exposure compensation settings.
• A specialized electromagnetic aperture mechanism enhances exposure control stability, which is particularly advantageous during rapid continuous shooting.
• The lens barrel is designed to be resistant to dust and moisture, making it suitable for use in adverse weather conditions. Additionally, the front of the lens is treated with an antifouling coating that helps prevent smudges, fingerprints, and dirt, facilitating easy cleaning.
