Nikon NIKKOR Z 40mm f/2.0

I like this little lens on my Z6iii. It is light and compact for walking about the local woods and it takes great images and is just a lot of fun. Not quite the same level of detail wide open as the three-times-the-cost Z 35 1.8S but I'm finding the images to be terrific. Small point though.... I returned this model as I did not like the rough / course feel from the surface finish on the lens barrel and swapped it for the SE model (which is beautifully finished). Also added a 52mm filter plus screw on lens hood which is a perfect. Very happy with this setup and I still have my Z 24-120 4 for more detailed landscape work etc.

The new nifty 40!! Amazing image and Greta nikkon quality.

A good value lens that is fully up to the standards of Nikon Z lenses. It's not a S range, but is more than adequate for anyone using a Z5, Z6 Or ZF body. I chose the 40mm lens because I have used this focal length extensively in the past and it is a good compromise between a standard and a wide angle lens.

a great street lens not big or bulky fast autofocus and is reasonably priced

Just a short review of the NIKKOR Z 40mm F/2 I recently went on a weekend break to Lisbon and wanted to reduce my carry-on weight. I wanted to take my Nikon Z8 but most of my lens collection consisted of super zooms and a couple of F1.2 primes. These are all weighty to travel with, but also as walkaround lenses. So I picked up the 40mm just for that trip but found myself falling on love. Yes, you lose a little in light gathering compared to the faster primes, but at f2 it is pin sharp while also delivering a pleasing falloff of focus. I've found myself grabbing my camera more when going on walks or local trips as the 40mm is not only lighter but feels far less conspicuous in public places. Great little lens at a competitive price.
