Nikon today releases its lightest full-frame mirrorless zoom lens to date: the NIKKOR Z 17-28mm f/2.8. An ideal lens for travel, events, landscapes, cityscapes, architecture and interiors, this fast ultra-wide-angle zoom is built to let photographers and video shooters widen their creative palette.
The lens is constructed of 13 elements in 11 groups, which include three aspherical elements, two extra-low dispersion (ED) elements and one Super ED element. With a minimum focusing distance of 19cm. Other features include a nine-blade aperture diaphragm, weather sealing and a 67mm front filter thread.
Weighing 450 grams and measuring 75mm in diameter by 101mm in length.
Feature include:
Lightweight 17-28mm ultra-wide-angle zoom lens: superb sharpness and less distortion—even when shooting at the ultra-wide 17 mm end of the zoom range.
Short close-focusing distance: a minimum focus distance of just 0.19 m enables sharp, clear results when shooting up close to a subject.
Fast f/2.8 constant aperture: maintains consistent exposure across the zoom range. Great for shooting in available light—or working creatively with shutter speeds and depth of field.
Big beautiful bokeh: the large Z mount and f/2.8 rounded 9-blade aperture enable large, soft spheres of bokeh when shooting wide open, and bokeh is accentuated when shooting at close distances.
Great for video too: footage won’t be ruined by focusing sounds. Focus breathing is dramatically reduced so users can smoothly shift focus while maintaining framing.
Confident focusing: AF is fast, smooth, quiet, and precise.
Easy control: customisable silent control and wide zoom ring, which is simple to operate when you have your eye to the viewfinder.
Travel-ready: lightweight—weighs just 450 g (approx.)—and the lens is sealed to protect from dust and water droplets.
