NIKKOR Z 28mm f/2.8

Nikon's most affordable Z-mount prime — a compact, lightweight 28mm that makes the most of the Z system's large mount diameter at a budget-friendly price point. It delivers excellent sharpness for its size and cost, with a natural wide-angle perspective that works brilliantly for street, travel, and everyday photography. The ideal first prime upgrade for Z30, Zfc, and Z50 owners.
