Nikon today introduced two new products inspired by its popular heritage models. New to its line-up is the black version of the iconic Nikon Z fc camera and the NIKKOR Z 40mm f/2 (SE).
Z FC BLACK EDITION
The Z fc mirrorless camera was the first Z-series model to combine a ‘heritage’ design with advanced mirrorless technology This new Black Edition fulfils customer demand, and reflects Nikon’s ambition to encourage even more to enjoy the timeless Z fc. As well as this, six new colours for the Premium Exterior have been added, exclusively available for the Z fc Black Edition – totalling 12 different colour variations for the Z fc Silver and Z fc Black combined.
THE NIKKOR Z 40MM F/2 (SE)
The NIKKOR Z 40mm f/2 (SE) lens is suited for shooting portraits and other still subjects. The constant maximum aperture of f/2, allows photographers to create beautifull round-shaped bokeh and its 40mm mid-telephoto focal length emphasises the primary subject.
The NIKKOR Z 40mm f/2 (SE) lens also inherits its design from the classic NIKKOR lenses, which were released in the same period as the Nikon FM2 film camera - the heritage model that inspired the Z fc. Its arrival expands the choice of lenses which are suited to the Z fc’s retro design.
Its compact size and light weight with high-speed and accurate Auto Focus and a dust and drip resistant body.
