NIKKOR Z 40mm f/2 (SE)

A compact and lightweight prime lens offering both superb image quality and versatility. A lens that combines the innovative technology synonymous with Nikon’s Z series and stunning retro design. 

With a lightweight build, and superior optical performance, the NIKKOR Z 40mm f/2 (SE) lens is perfectly suited for shooting portraits and other still subjects, impressing users no matter the setting. The constant maximum aperture of f/2, allows photographers to create the most beautifully round-shaped bokeh and its 40mm standard focal length emphasises the primary subject. 

The NIKKOR Z 40mm f/2 (SE) lens inherits its design from the classic NIKKOR lenses, which were released in the same period as the Nikon FM2 film camera - the heritage model that inspired the Z fc. Its arrival expands the choice of lenses, which are suited to the Z fc’s retro design. 

Its compact size and lightweight nature mean it doesn’t only look good but is also perfect for those on the move. Meanwhile, its high-speed and accurate Auto Focus alongside its dust and drip-resistant body allows the lens to blend into any lifestyle, enhancing the joy of shooting. 

Key features:
