Nikon Z 40mm f2 announced - Brightcolours - 09-14-2021 https://www.nikonusa.com/en/nikon-products/product/mirrorless-lenses/nikkor-z-40mm-f%252f2.html Not thaaat small, but it is light and it renders nicely. 35mm would make a bit more sense for APS-C, but 40mm is ok for FF.

Great to see more compact primes coming for Nikon Z. I pre-ordered one, hope to get it by the end of the month. RE: Nikon Z 40mm f2 announced - Rover - 09-15-2021 Somewhere, a Voigtländer Ultron is crying. RE: Nikon Z 40mm f2 announced - mst - 10-06-2021 The lens just arrived in the lab. First impression: yep, it's plastic, but still feels fairly solid, not "cheap". No hood included. Actually no hood available at all from Nikon. First results: very low distortion (0.66% barrel on FX, basically none on DX). Vignetting is on the high side, more than the AF-S 50/1.8 for example. Rainy/cloudy weather here, unfortunately. Forecast for the weekend looks promising, though, I hope to shoot some samples then. RE: Nikon Z 40mm f2 announced - Brightcolours - 10-06-2021 The Nikon HN-3 should do fine for this lens... RE: Nikon Z 40mm f2 announced - mst - 10-06-2021 Well, yes, as well as lots of other 52mm screw mount hoods you can find dirt cheap online. It's kinda sad though that Nikons does not offer one. It's actually kinda silly to leave this aftersale business to others. |
