NIKON - NIKKOR Z 40mm f/2

Easy to carry. Fun to shoot. 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 thats all Z. Great on any Z camera. 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 its also wide enough for shooting indoors, on the street or in a crowd like a 25mm. 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. * 35mm equivalent Nothing weighing you down. The NIKKOR Z 40mm f/2 is so compact and lightweight - just 45.5mm long and weighing 170g - youll forget its even there. It doesnt extend or retract, so its always ready. Take it wherever you go as your main walk-around lens or as a lightweight second lens. Dramatic depth. Make your subject stand out against a beautifully blurred background. The shallow depth of field of f/2 is enhanced by the lens 9 rounded blade diaphragm, creating a natural bokeh effect. Get in close. The NIKKOR Z 40mm f/2 rewards you for getting in close to your subject. The lens beautiful bokeh is accentuated at closer distances, giving your subject almost three-dimensional separation. Shoot after hours. The larger Z mount draws even more light gathering performance from the wide f/2 aperture. Capture the mood dimly lit situation with clarity and sharpness, and use faster shutter speeds to freeze action without sacrificing brightness. Video Savvy. The NIKKOR Z 40mm f/2s quiet autofocus system greatly suppresses focus breathing to prevent angle-of-view shifts during recording. Make smooth iris adjustments with the click-less control ring to create a natural shift in brightness. Fast, confident focus.

A new high-torque stepping motor operates at blazing fast speeds in near silence, whether using the Eye-Detection AF or continuous subject tracking. Customisable Control. The smooth click-less control ring can be customised for the way you shoot. Use it for precise manual focusing or to adjust aperture, ISO or exposure compensation.
