Nikon Z System. The Nikon Z 40mm f/2 was designed specifically for cameras in Nikon’s Z-mount system. Z-mount lenses only work with Z-mount cameras, and Z-mount cameras are only compatible with Z-mount lenses.

Wide-Normal Prime. The 40mm focal length is a popular choice for just about any type of photography. It’s often used for landscape, portrait, interior, and street photography. Although this lens was designed for FX-format Nikon Z-mount mirrorless cameras, you can also use it with DX-format cameras on which it’ll give you a 60mm-equivalent focal length.

High-Quality Optics. The Nikon 40mm f/2’s four-group/six-element optical design features two aspherical elements to promote sharpness and color rendering while limiting spherical aberrations and distortion. Nikon has applied a Super Integrated coating to the elements to combat ghosting and lens flare, even when you’re working in bright or backlit conditions.

Bright Aperture. The f/2 aperture allows a high degree of subject/background isolation desired for portraiture. It also makes this lens great for shooting in difficult light. The nine rounded aperture blades contribute to smooth bokeh.

Stepping Motor Autofocus System. The stepping motor allows for fast, silent, and smooth operation. Pairing a speedy AF system together with a continuous manual mechanism allows you to hit your focus with confidence, while the internal-focusing design means that the lens maintains its length during focusing.

Durable Build. This lens’s durable, moisture-resistant construction means you can use it in adverse conditions without worry. The exposed elements have a fluorine coating to protect them from debris and smearing. A programmable control ring lets you adjust manual focus, aperture, or exposure compensation.
