Product details
The Nikkor Z 40mm f/2 is an ultra-compact prime lens that you can rely on with any Z camera in nearly any situation. It is wide enough for street work, landscapes, and interiors, yet tight enough for authentic portraits and snapshots. It features a bright maximum aperture of f/2, which is sufficient for low-light conditions, freezes fast action, and separates your subject from the background with a beautiful bokeh effect. The Nikkor Z 40mm f/2 sits between the two coveted focal lengths of 35mm and 50mm, combining the strengths of both. It captures natural-looking portraits and close-ups like a 50mm lens, while also being wide enough for indoor shots, street photography, or crowded scenes like a 35mm lens. On a DX-format Z camera, it has a field of view equivalent to 60mm, making it another versatile focal length for everything from portraits to street photography.

At 280 euros, the fast standard lens is downright cheap. At open aperture, the resolution in the centre of the image should be higher, the edge drop of the contrast is well visible. At aperture 4, resolution and contrast in the centre of the image are at a very good level, the edge fall-off is now moderate, even the corners now show drawing...

- The optical performance of the Nikkor Z 40 mm f/2 is impressive. Z photographers get a very good lens at a very reasonable price.
- Nikon could improve the equipment and housing material. But that would be at the expense of the price.
The Nikkor Z 40 mm f/2 is impressive with its high aperture, very good resolution and harmonious bokeh. Its price makes it the ideal choice for anyone who not only wants to shoot with kit lenses, but also wants to use the creative possibilities of fast fixed focal lengths.
