Nikon NIKKOR Z 28mm f/2.8 (SE) Full-Frame Lens (2021)
Product Gallery
Product Overview
Nikon NIKKOR Z 28mm f/2.8 (SE) is a compact full-frame prime lens for the Z-mount mirrorless system. It features a design that echoes that of classic NIKKOR SLR lenses, which is a reason it has been unveiled alongside the Z fc.
However, the Z 28mm f/2.8 (SE) is a full-frame lens, even though the Z fc is a crop-sensor camera. This decision is likely attributable to the specifications of the Z-mount.
On an APS-C camera, the Z 28mm f/2.8 (SE) offers a 42mm field of view, which is great as an all-purpose lens. On a full-frame camera, the classic 28mm field of view is great as a single-lens solution that works for street photography as well as interior and architecture shots.
Alongside the Z 28mm f/2.8 (SE), Nikon also unveiled the silver version of the Z DX 16-50mm f/3.5-6.3 VR for the Z fc.
