A thrilling 17-28mm zoom range. A coveted f/2.8 aperture with all its spectacular low-light, speed and depth of field capabilities. Liberating in close working spaces. Exhilarating in vast open spaces. Light and tough enough to take anywhere. The definition of an f/2.8 lens just got wider. When you want to put your audience right in the moment, to surround them with a vast landscape or a grand interior, to convey more about your subject than simply how they look, reach for the NIKKOR Z 17-28mm f/2.8 and capture the big picture. On a full-frame camera, the NIKKOR Z 17-28mm f/2.8 goes from an ultra-wide 17mm view thats great for vlogging, epic vistas and indoor work to the highly cinematic 28mm view—a favorite among filmmakers and street photographers for its wide but natural look. Beautifully blurred backgrounds. Points of light are rendered as circular bokeh, and your subject stands out with almost three dimensional clarity in videos and stills. More detail in low light. Open the f/2.8 fixed aperture and create dramatic wide shots in dimly lit interiors or outside after the sun has set—including epic starscapes—across the entire 17–28mm zoom range.
With an expansive ultra-wide zoom range, suppressed focus breathing, near-silent autofocus and a 9-rounded-blade iris that can be smoothly opened and closed using the click-less control ring, the NIKKOR Z 17-28mm f/2.8 is outstanding for videos of all types, from vlogs to cinematic films. The lens light weight, compact size works great with lightweight travel tripods, gimbals, sliders and video rigs. Plus, the zooming occurs internally, so the balance of the lens remains consistent. An ultra-wide zoom challenges our sense of scale, making close objects seem larger than life. Take full advantage of the effect by getting as close as 7.56 inches from your subject. A high-speed stepping motor that makes minute adjustments with minimal mechanical noise, even when its tracking the eyes of people and pets. Optimised for portability without sacrificing an f/2.8 fixed maximum aperture. A smaller diameter and over 30% weight savings compared to the prized NIKKOR Z 14-24mm f/2.8 S. Resists dust, drips and smudges. The entire lens is sealed to prevent dust and water droplets* from getting between you and a great image. The front element features an antifouling coating that resists dirt, fingerprints, and smudges and is easy to clean.
