The NIKKOR Z 28mm f/2.8 (SE) carries over some design details from older models while delivering cutting-edge performance. Day or night, indoors or outdoors, in stills or video: this sleek lens delivers crisp, detail-rich images.

Bright f/2.8 wide-angle prime lens
See wider. Bridge the distance. Create exceptional images. This affordable 28mm full-frame compact mirrorless camera lens enhances your everyday shots with rich color and contrast. Whether you are filming or photographing urban scenes or landscapes, the result will always be sharp even in low light conditions.

Versatile and loyal
The NIKKOR Z 28mm f/2.8 offers a slightly wider angle of view than our normal field of view, just enough to capture landscapes and scenes, both natural and urban. It also shoots spectacular close-ups and adds a real cinematic touch to video footage.

Slightly blurred backgrounds
Shoot situational portraits and out-of-the-ordinary street scenes. The wide Z-mount and bright f/2.8 aperture, powered by a seven-blade circular diaphragm, produce stunning soft, rounded bokeh. Focus precisely on your subject while beautifully blurring the background.

Dynamic close-ups
Whether shooting delicate dishes or bold portraits, this wide-angle lens delivers incredibly sharp images, even at close range. With its minimum focusing distance of 0.19m, you can place the camera just 19cm from your subject.

Fast and quiet autofocus
The Nikon Z multi-group AF system is fast, smooth, precise and quiet. By drastically reducing aberrations, it allows your lens to focus quickly, even when shooting close-up. The silence of the mechanism is ideal for recording videos.

Unique cinematic style
The 28mm focal length is a cinematic classic, and with the NIKKOR Z 28mm f/2.8, you'll easily shoot great video. Focus-breathing has been virtually eliminated, so you can change focus without affecting the angle of view. Plus, this lens is so light you can easily use it handheld or with a stabilizer.

28mm FX format
On a full-frame Z-series mirrorless camera, this lens offers a 28mm angle of view, ideal for landscapes, urban scenes and dramatic close-ups.

42mm in DX format
On a Z-series DX-format mirrorless camera, this lens offers a 42mm angle of view, ideal for candid portraits and dynamic vlogging.

Compact
This discreet wide-angle lens is very pleasant to use and so compact that it can easily be attached to the camera. You'll be ready to capture fleeting glances and memorable moments.

Versatile
The NIKKOR Z 28mm f/2.8 is easy to use in any situation and always goes unnoticed. Use the silent control ring to control focus, aperture, exposure or sensitivity.

Wearing
