NikonNIKKOR Z 40mm f/2 | Large aperture 40mm prime lens for Z series mirrorless cameras | Nikon USA Model

Amazing value for such a high quality little lens!The lens is lightweight and compact; easy to carry around if you are really active either on a hiking trail or city streets. Works very well for landscapes and street photography, but can work decently well as a wider portrait lens for full body shots. The lens is of cheaper quality, though, being that the housing is made of plastic while some Nikon lenses are metal, but that's entirely fine for such a short, prime lens where it's not as susceptible to accidental damage like a long, zooming telephoto lens.If you don't already have a lens that open wider than F/4 in the neighborhood of 40 mm, then I definitely recommend the lens. It's a great complement especially if you already have the F/4 24 - 70 kit lens.

This Z 40mm f2.0 prime lens is a great value. I find that 40mm on my full-frame Nikon Zf mirrorless camera is a great option for my "walkaround" photography. It's not "wide-angle" it's not "telephoto", it's right in the middle where many photos are taken. It's small and light weight so it's easy to tote around if you want to switch with a wide or tele lens. I bought the standard edition as the SE version was not available at the time. They are the same lens except for the "old-fashioned" look of the SE version. That was not an issue for me. Also the SE model is more expensive. I'm very pleased with the sharpness and clarity of my images. The manual focus ring is smooth and accurate. The build quality is good and everything looks well-assembled. It's a great price and value for the results I'm getting. I'm really glad I bought it.

In Argentina we say “ bueno bonito barato” ( BBB) ( good , good looking and cheap). This little lens it’s just that . A small lens with fast aperture. Maybe it’s not a 50 1.8s line lens buts for the price you can’t ask for more. It’s like the 35 1.8 AFS G dx or the 50mm f1.8g AFS for F mount. Lenses that are not so expensive and can do incredible pictures. So if you want to spend not so much money this maybe is perfect for you

The Nikon NIKKOR Z 40mm f/2 lens exceeded my expectations in every way. Its large aperture of f/2 allows for stunning low-light performance and beautiful background blur, adding a professional touch to my photography. The 40mm focal length strikes a perfect balance between wide-angle and portrait, making it versatile for a variety of shots. Whether capturing crisp details or achieving creamy bokeh, this lens delivers exceptional image quality. Its compact and lightweight design makes it an ideal companion for any photography adventure. I'm thoroughly impressed with the results I've achieved using the Nikon NIKKOR Z 40mm f/2 lens, and it has become a permanent fixture in my camera bag.

It takes sharp photos and the autofocus is silent. I love the weight of the lens. It is very slim for its power. Everything about it is great. It even functions as a macro lens with an extension tube.

This lens is absolutely fantastic on my Z30. Sharp & great perspective. The focus grip is very nice to use.

I bought this lens while looking for a prime lens for some video work. The 2.8 aperture is perfect in low light and the image quality for such a small, inexpensive, lightweight lens is incredible. Value in price, quality in performance. The mount is plastic but after 6+ months of regular use I honestly don’t even notice. It produces super sharp and clean images and really shines shooting B-Roll with video on my Z6ii. Highly recommend especially if the 50mm 1.8z is a bit too much for you. This lens outperforms it’s price point.

This is a fantastic travel Lens at a great focal length and it’s pretty fast and practically silent. It’s VERY small, extremely lightweight and did I mention it’s fast!? Really fast. It has some softness on the outer edges but I actually like this as it has a “look” that’s really cool. I also have the NIKKOR 24-70mm and I think I prefer this 40mm lens better for travel.
