About the Product

This lens features a sophisticated optical design, including five E D lenses, one Super E D lens, and three aspherical lenses, ensuring high resolution and minimized chromatic aberration throughout the zoom range. The constant F2.8 aperture not only allows for shooting in challenging light but also produces creamy, smooth bokeh, making subjects truly pop.

Despite its powerful capabilities, the lens manages to keep its mass down to about 795 grams. It utilizes an Internal Focus (I F) method for quick and precise autofocus. Note that while there is no lens stabilization, this can be compensated for using the in-body stabilization (I B I S) of Nikon Z full-frame camera bodies.

Faqs:

What is the benefit of a constant F2.8 aperture on a zoom lens?

A constant F2.8 aperture means the maximum amount of light remains available across the entire 70 millimeter to 180 millimeter range. This is crucial for shooting in low light, maintaining a fast shutter speed for action, and achieving consistent, maximum background blur (bokeh) at any zoom setting.

Since this lens has no image stabilization, will my photos be blurry?

This lens is designed to be paired with Nikon Z mirrorless cameras that feature in-body image stabilization (I B I S). When used on a stabilized Z body, the camera’s I B I S works effectively to reduce shake, allowing you to capture sharp photos even at lower shutter speeds.

Can I use this lens for close-up or macro-style photography in Japan?

While not a dedicated macro lens, its excellent minimum focusing distance of 0.27 meters at 70 millimeter allows for a maximum magnification of 0.48x. This is close to a half-life size and is highly effective for capturing detailed close-ups of food, flowers, or souvenirs.

How much reach can I get when combining this lens with a teleconverter?

This lens is compatible with Z teleconverters. When paired with the T C-1.4x, the lens becomes approximately 98-252 millimeter f/4. With the T C-2.0x, the reach extends to approximately 140-360 millimeter f/5.6, significantly increasing your telephoto options.

Is this lens suitable for professional portraiture during my trip?

Absolutely. The 70 millimeter to 180 millimeter range covers classic portrait focal lengths, and the constant F2.8 aperture provides exceptional subject isolation and beautiful bokeh, which are key requirements for professional and artistic portrait photography.
