Nikon Z 40mm f2 SE

The Nikon Z 40mm f2 SE is a compact prime lens for the Nikon Z mirrorless system, which includes a special edition retro design. This new take on the existing lens will appeal to those that love the classic camera look and is a perfect match for the similarly retro Nikon Z fc; this lens includes a knurled design, reminiscent of the famous Nikon manual focus lenses of old.

Looking for a compact prime lens that you can mount on your Nikon Z mirrorless camera for everyday walkabout photography and travel purposes? Consider adding this Nikon Z 40mm f2 SE lens to your kit. This lens is slim and portable, so your mirrorless kit will retain its portability during use, without you sacrificing image quality. It can be mounted on both full-frame and APS-C format Nikon Z cameras, which is great news if you have multiple cameras in your kit, or thinking of updating in the future. As well as a versatile focal length, which is considered just wider than normal on full-frame and a portrait-friendly 60mm equivalent on APS-C, this Nikon prime lens is home to a fast f2 maximum aperture; this is great for depth of field control and for allowing you to persist with capturing sharp shots in dark conditions.

Nikon Z-Series mirrorless cameras are suitable for both still and video shooting, and the Nikon Z 40mm f2 SE lens is a great option for maximising this potential, thanks to its fast and quiet stepping AF motor. A high-quality optical design is also required for meeting the demands of these high-end cameras, and once again this lens steps up to the plate with a superb design that utilises three aspherical lens elements. Super integrated coating has also been applied to limit ghosting and flare and leave you with sharp and detailed images. This Nikon prime lens features a customisable control ring which users can assign to adjust manual focus or an exposure setting of their choice – you don’t need to change your shooting style to accommodate this lens, it can slot nicely into your comfortable workflow.
