NIKKOR Z 17-28mm f2.8

The lightweight wide-angle storyteller
A portable ultra-wide-angle zoom perfect for creators, the Nikon NIKKOR Z 17-28mm f / 2.8 manages to combine speed and compactness while presenting a wide field of view perfect for anything from landscapes to architectural subjects to portable vlogging applications.

Lightweight and compact design
Despite the bright f / 2.8 design, this manages to remain sleek and light, making it ideal for handheld use, all-day shooting, and a variety of vlogging needs.
Compared to the NIKKOR Z 14-24mm f / 2.8 S, this lens is smaller in diameter, uses more widely available 67mm front filters, and is 30% lighter while maintaining the same speed as f / 2.8.
The internal zoom design prevents the lens from extending during use, making it easier to balance when shooting, especially when used in conjunction with a gimbal.
Perfect for FX-format Z-mount cameras, this smaller lens is also ideal for DX-format bodies and will provide an equivalent focal length range of 25.5-42mm.
The programmable control dial is, by default, set to adjust manual focus, but it can also be used to control aperture or exposure compensation. It also has a click-free design, suitable for video needs.
The specialized electromagnetic aperture mechanism offers greater stability of exposure control, especially advantageous when working with fast continuous shooting speeds.
Dust and moisture resistant lens barrel benefits lens use in adverse conditions. There is also an antifouling coating on the front of the lens that resists smudging, fingerprints and dirt and is easy to clean.

Smooth and quiet autofocus
The stepping motor maintains fast and quiet autofocus performance, ideal for both photo and video needs.
An internal focusing design is used, in which only the internal lens groups are moved during focusing, to maintain the overall length of the lens during use and to promote faster focusing speeds.
The minimum focusing distance of 7.5 "benefits working with close-up subjects.
Focus breathing has been suppressed to aid in video use and maintain a consistent field of view when changing focus.

Ultra wide flexibility
The constant f / 2.8 design maintains consistent performance throughout the zoom range and also benefits from low-light performance and depth of field control.
The bright design and ultra wide-angle focal length make this lens suitable for astrophotography needs.
The wide zoom range adapts to everyday travel and shooting needs and is particularly suited to cityscapes, landscapes, interiors and architectural subjects.
The rounded 9-blade diaphragm contributes to a pleasing bokeh quality, benefiting the use of shallow depth of field and selective focus techniques.
Two very low dispersion elements help correct chromatic aberrations and color fringes for a clean and clear color rendering.
A Super ED element is also used, which offers even lower dispersion properties and further reduces color fringing and various other chromatic aberrations.
Three aspherical elements reduce spherical aberrations and distortion to produce sharp images with accurate rendering. In addition, these specialized elements also promote a more compact and lighter lens design.
