Nikon Corporation announced the NIKKOR Z 40mm f/2, a versatile and compact prime lens for the mirrorless Z system. This lens straddles the wide-angle and normal-length fields of view and is characterized by its adaptability for use in a variety of shooting scenarios. Nikon NIKKOR Z 40mm f/2 Lens, Z-Mount Lens/FX Format Aperture Range: f/2 to f/16, Compact, Pancake Design. Equally at home on FX- or DX-format bodies, this sleek lens is wide enough for street shooting and landscapes but selective enough for portraiture and detail shooting, too. The bright f/2 maximum aperture also means it's capable in low-light conditions and can control depth of field for isolating subjects with selective focus. Additionally, a rounded 9-blade diaphragm contributes to a desirable smooth bokeh quality. As such a small and simple lens, there isn't too much to its physical design beyond a single programmable control ring, which can be set to adjust manual focus, aperture, or a variety of other camera settings. And, inside, there's a stepping AF motor that offers fast, smooth, and quiet autofocus performance with minimal focus breathing to suit both photo and video applications.
