Nikon NIKKOR Z 26mm f/2.8 Reviews
No syrup?

I use this lens with a UV filter, so you need to put the filter adapter on the lens. This makes the lens almost the same size as the 28mm. I do see a sharpness improvement though, and it is more money than the 28mm, but worth it to me.
Almost could have been a S-lens

I really like this lens so far. The reviews kept me away from this lens because they said it was soft, and too expensive. I read some of the reviews on B&H and decided to try it. It is sharper, built better, and a little smaller (with the lens hood) than the 28mm that I had already! Yes, it costs more, but I like the quality feel and build of the lens. With a little more refinement in the corners, it could have been a S-Lens. Next step, sell the 28mm.
