Nikon Nikkor Z 40mm f/2 Camera Lens

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. It’s 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 that’s 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 it’s 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.

Nothing weighing you down.
The NIKKOR Z 40mm f/2 is so compact and lightweight - just 45.5mm long and weighing 170g - you’ll forget it’s even there. It doesn’t extend or retract, so it’s 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/2’s 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.
When it comes to autofocus, the NIKKOR Z 40mm f/2 is the strong, silent type. 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.
