Nikon NIKKOR Z 17-28mm f/2.8

A popular budget-friendly wide zoom for run-and-gun and event shooters, with more vignetting and distortion than the S-line 14-24mm f/2.8 S but a genuine front filter thread — a major convenience many ultra-wides lack.

📝 How suitability scores are calculated GearScore™ genre scores are calculated from this camera's verified specifications — autofocus, sensor, weight, weather sealing and more — weighted by what matters for each type of photography. Where a spec sheet misses something (e.g. a manual-focus rangefinder for street), we apply a documented editorial adjustment. Scores are not based on customer reviews. See our full methodology →
