Everyday Perfection

Make the most out of the compact mirrorless system with its small size and astonishingly lightweight of approximately 170g that make going about easier for those who love to capture their day-today moments, without compromising on all-round performance with bokeh expression and standard focal length.

Having adopted a motor with a small-diameter, high-torque stepping motor (STM), the NIKKOR Z 40mm f/2 strikes a perfect balance between compactness and efficiency for users to enjoy its fast and accurate focusing, and quiet autofocus (AF) control mechanism. Coupled with the lens’ dust- and drip-resistant performance1, take this latest addition to the NIKKOR Z line-up wherever you go to capture every imagery in sharp details.

A Treat for your eyes

With the 40mm flexible angle of view, capture your stories across a wide variety of scenes,
from vibrant cityscapes to intimate portraits, and experience superior optical performance even as you get closer to your subject as desired with the minimum focus distance of 0.29m.

Bring out your subjects from the scene and make them stand out with an aesthetically pleasing, soft, creamy, rounded bokeh in the background, with the lens’ f/2 aperture and adoption of 9 aperture blades. The fast maximum aperture delivers fast shutter speed to shoot quickly, even in low-light environments, and prevents minimal camera-shake for sharper shots that utilise the expression achieved with stunning bokeh.

Day to night, from immortalising fast-paced street photography in the city to golden-hour moments at the beach, users can capture every moment and effortlessly elevate them by bringing the beauty of bokeh to life.

Unmatched Versatility

With the NIKKOR Z 40mm f/2, users can find the process of toggling back and forth between photo-taking and video recording modes much easier, ensuring that capturing precious, picturesque moments with their loved ones can be effortlessly done.

Built for videography, the lens’ impressive quiet operation prevents lens drive and operation noise from being recorded, and its superb operability allows filming with a natural shift in focus position

and brightness level – allowing users to record their surroundings with clarity and in-person like qualities. The lens also eases users’ filming experiences to deliver smooth and natural movies with a focus-breathing reduction feature which prevents a shift in the angle of view when trying to acquire focus, and a stabilised exposure during aperture changes.

With the filming capabilities that this lens provides, reminiscing memorable moments like one’s engagement, a backpacking trip or get-together with loved ones can now be a lot more immersive.
