Less than one inch thick, featherlight and packed with image quality, the Nikon NIKKOR Z 26mm f/2.8 Lens (Nikon Z) is a pancake prime ideal for street photography. It transforms your camera into the smallest version of itself, encouraging you to shoot in more places, more often. And it rewards you with lifelike sharpness, beautifully blurred backgrounds, versatile low light performance and a creative field of view. The NIKKOR Z 26mm f/2.8 makes your camera so compact and portable, you won’t want to leave home without it. A space-saving new focusing system uses a stepping motor (STM) to move all the lens elements in unison. This reduces the overall barrel length and produces remarkable consistency across the focus range from approx. 8 inches to infinity. From creative wide shots to environmental portraits, stills or videos, the NIKKOR Z 26mm f/2.8 is an ideal street lens. It can feel natural like eyesight or highly artistic, all depending on your framing. And its a familiar view, one imitated by higher quality smartphones. A masterfully engineered optical formula that includes three Aspherical (AS) lens elements, produces maximum sharpness with minimal spherical aberration and field curvature.
