The focal length of 28mm (42mm equivalent in DX format) offers a versatile angle of view for street photography, portraits, or architecture. The maximum aperture of f/2.8 enables strong low-light performance and pleasing, rounded bokeh thanks to the 7-blade, rounded aperture design. The optical construction consists of 9 elements in 8 groups, including 2 aspherical lenses that reduce spherical aberrations and distortion, delivering high sharpness and detail – quality that impresses despite the compact size. The Super Integrated Coating minimizes stray light and reflections for high-contrast, color-accurate results. The multi-focus system with dual stepping motors (STM) ensures fast, quiet, and precise autofocus, ideal for both photos and videos, with a close-up distance of 19 cm and a maximum magnification of 0.2x – perfect for close-ups with character. The filter diameter is 52 mm, the aperture ranges from f/2.8 to f/16, and the silent control ring is adjustable for manual focus override, aperture, ISO, or exposure compensation. The dust- and splash-resistant housing increases reliability in the field. The angle of view is 75° in FX format and 53° in DX format, making it flexible for a variety of scenarios. The Nikon NIKKOR Z 28mm f/2.8 SE is the ideal choice for photographers seeking an ultra-compact, portable, and lightweight lens with a nostalgic feel that doesn't compromise on quality despite its size—perfect for creative shots on the go or as a constant companion.
