Nikon has just announced the NIKKOR Z 28-75mm f/2.8 Lens, a fast, lightweight zoom for Z-series mirrorless cameras. The new lens provides flexible reach, whether capturing events, portraits, landscapes, or even close-ups, while maintaining a bright, constant f/2.8 aperture and manageable weight for easy carry. Additionally, Nikon has also revealed the development of the herculean NIKKOR Z 800mm f/6.3 VR S Lens.
Nearly 30% lighter than the NIKKOR Z 24-70mm f/2.8 and only 4.8 inches in length when retracted, the new zoom makes for an excellent option for everyday carry and usage. Its bright f/2.8 aperture promises excellent low-light performance across the entire zoom range, as well as creative focusing control whether shooting stills or recording video.
It can focus as close as 7.5 inches when you need to get up close and personal to your subject and provides a 42-112mm equivalent range when used on a DX-format camera. Video creators will appreciate the lens’s smooth control ring, which enables natural-looking aperture adjustments for consistent recording. Further benefiting video capture is a quick and quiet stepping motor and suppressed focus breathing.
Alongside the new zoom, Nikon has also teased the NIKKOR Z 800mm f/6.3 VR S Lens, which is currently in development. To make such extensive reach feasible for the mirrorless format, this super-tele prime will incorporate a Phase Fresnel (PF) element, which reduces the overall size and weight of the lens.
