Capture the scene

A minimum focus distance of just 0.3 m throughout the zoom range puts you in control of the frame—from close-up to infinity.

Stay sharp

The constant f/4 aperture ensures exceptional low-light performance, and consistent exposure across the entire zoom range. Attain maximum image quality without needing to set high ISOs.

Range wide

The ultra-wide Nikon Z mount enables your NIKKOR Z lens to capture more light across the entire frame. Combined with the short distance between mount and sensor, light fall off at the edges of the frame is significantly reduced. The result is incredible edge-to-edge sharpness through the full zoom range.

Crisp clarity

Nikon’s anti-reflective ARNEO and Nano Crystal coatings reduce ghosting and flare for greater image clarity, even in backlit conditions. Or when shooting scenes with numerous direct light sources in the frame.

True light

Superior reproduction of point light sources, such as streetlights at night, is achieved by minimising sagittal coma flare. Point light sources appear as fine rounded points, even at the edges of the image.

Exceptional colour

Aspherical ED glass and Aspherical lens elements ensure vivid colour and deep contrast.

Sharp. Silent. Precise.

The NIKKOR Z multi-focusing system and multiple AF drives ensure subjects nap into focus—and stay in focus. Focusing is smooth and silent, making this lens ideal for movies as well as stills.

Any light

This lens uses in-camera Vibration Reduction to let you shoot at shutter speeds up to five stops slower than otherwise possible. Capture clearer photos as daylight fades or film scenes without the unwanted effects of camera shake.

Always precise

Floating lens elements ensure precise focus at close distances. An electromagnetic diaphragm delivers precise exposures during high-speed bursts.

Quiet on set

Whisper-quiet AF is achieved via a virtually silent stepping motor. Zoom is quiet, and the silent control ring lets you adjust aperture with no clicking sounds.

Beautifully smooth

This lens’ multi-focusing system enables incredibly smooth, accurate focus pulling. Focus breathing is reduced, as is focus-shift while zooming.
