Product details

The NIKKOR Z 40mm f/2 is an ultra-compact prime you can rely on with any Z camera in just about any situation. Its wide enough for street work, landscapes and interiors but tight enough for authentic portraits
and candid shots. It has a fast f/2 maximum aperture that powers through low lighting, helps freeze fast action and separates your subject from the background with a beautiful bokeh effect. And it does all of this with clarity, consistency and brightness that's all Z. Sitting between two prized focal lengths, 35mm and 50mm, the NIKKOR Z 40mm f/2 takes strong points from each. It captures natural-looking portraits and close-ups like a 50mm, but it's also wide enough for shooting indoors, on the street or in a crowd like a 35mm. On a DX-format Z camera, it has a field of view of 60mm, another all-purpose focal length for everything from portraits to street photography.

At 280 euros, the fast standard lens is downright cheap. At open aperture, the resolution in the centre of the image should be higher, the edge drop of the contrast is well visible. At aperture 4, resolution and contrast in the centre of the image are at a very good level, the edge fall-off is now moderate, even the corners now show drawing...

  • PositiveThe optical performance of the Nikkor Z 40 mm f/2 is impressive. Z photographers get a very good lens at a very reasonable price.
  • NegativeNikon could improve the equipment and housing material. But that would be at the expense of the price.

The Nikkor Z 40 mm f/2 is impressive with its high aperture, very good resolution and harmonious bokeh. Its price makes it the ideal choice for anyone who not only wants to shoot with kit lenses, but also wants to use the creative possibilities of fast fixed focal lengths.
