Nikon has just officially announced the new Nikon NIKKOR Z 28-75mm F2.8 Lens. It is the lightest, most nimble full frame f/2.8 standard zoom Nikon’s ever created. It brings brilliant low-light capabilities, vast depth of field control and beautiful bokeh together with a versatile zoom range and compact rugged design that’s as inspiring for stills as it is for videos.
This new lens costs $1,196.95, first available for pre-order at Amazon/ B&H/ Adorama.
Below are the key features:
Optics
- Covering a wide-angle to portrait-length range, this lens is ideal for a variety of shooting situations, including landscape, street, portraiture, documentary, and travel applications.
- Constant f/2.8 maximum aperture benefits working in available lighting conditions and offers increased control over depth of field for working with selective focus effects.
Autofocus
- Stepping motor maintains quick and quiet autofocus performance that’s ideal for both photo and video needs.
- 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.
Physical Design
- Impressively compact and lightweight design for an f/2.8 standard zoom, this lens measures just 4.8″ long when retracted and weighs 30% less than the NIKKOR Z 24-70mm f/2.8 S lens.
- Programmable Control Ring is, by default, set to adjust manual focus but can also be used to control aperture or exposure compensation.
- Dust- and moisture-resistant lens barrel benefits the lens’ use in inclement conditions.
