The new Nikon Z 28-75mm f2.8 Lens Lens is an attractive value for all sorts of photographers and makers, offering a lightweight lens with a broad focal range and an f/2.8 constant aperture at a low cost. The 28-75mm f/2.8 lens is capable of anything from excellent portraiture with a gentle background blur to incredibly detailed landscape photographs, beautiful low-light ambience, and small-footprint video creation.

The fixed aperture of f/2.8 allows for a nice depth of field with natural bokeh to accentuate the subject’s focus. The lens weighs only 1.2lbs (565g), making it extremely easy to pack, carry casually, or use for an all-day event. When combined with a Nikon Z 5, the new 28-75mm f/2.8 makes a compelling carry-anywhere, cost-effective full-frame kit, or when combined with the Z 6II to take content production to the next level.

The Nikon Z 28-75mm f2.8 Lens has many of the advantages of its more well-known sibling, the Nikon Z 24-70mm f/2.8 S. While both lenses are incredibly flexible and should be in every photographer’s kit, the 28-75mm f/2.8 is about 30% lighter and has a thinner profile. The lens has a control ring for maximum flexibility and excels at video creation thanks to low focus breathing and near-silent operation. The new 28-75mm f/2.8 lens also has a minimum focusing distance of 0.19m (at 28mm), making it an excellent choice for food, tablescapes, and detailed fashion photography.

Features of the Nikon Z 28-75mm f2.8 Lens:

• The Nikon Z 28-75mm f2.8 Lens delivers incredible sharpness and a bright f/2.8 aperture, affording the ability to shoot in low light or produce images with natural and pleasing bokeh.
• The lens weighs only 1.2 lbs oz (565g), which is 8.4 oz lighter than the NIKKOR Z 24-70mm f/2.8 S. In addition to its portability, the lens is well-suited for gimbal use for content creation and video productions.
• The minimum focus distance of 0.62ft (0.19m) allows users to capture intricate details.
• By employing a stepping motor (STM) with the superior response, the lens quickly focuses on moving subjects during still-shooting or video recording. The extremely quiet STM greatly reduces the level of lens drive and operational sounds during focusing and video recording.
• With the control ring, users can focus manually or change ISO sensitivity, aperture and exposure compensation in stills and video. The smooth rotation enables precise focus control. The knurling employed improves operation.
• The lens is sealed to prevent dust and water droplets from entry, enabling use in everyday circumstances without worry.* It also features an effective antifouling coating for easy cleaning.

Fast f/2.8 wide-angle to a telephoto zoom lens

Find the shots that are uniquely yours. When your lens is this fast and versatile, you’re always ready to respond to what’s around you. Street scenes to landscapes to portraits—compose freely with the compact NIKKOR Z 28-75mm f/2.8.

Up your creative game

Go for artful brilliance with the lightweight zoom lens that delivers beautiful bokeh. Explore the creative potential of a shallow depth of field, or of using faster shutter speeds in natural light. You can experiment with a range of classic focal lengths, and the constant f/2.8 aperture maintains consistent exposure across the zoom range.

Artful bokeh

The large Z mount and wide f/2.8 rounded 9-blade aperture let you put your subject in sharp focus against incredibly soft, natural-looking bokeh. Create images with dramatic selective focus or take your portraiture to the next level.

Always the right light

With its fast maximum aperture, this lens performs brilliantly in available light. Capture clear, sharp shots in dimly lit situations, or use faster shutter speeds to freeze motion without sacrificing brightness.

Try something new

The wide to telephoto zoom range is perfect for exploring framing. Fit in more of the scene at 28 mm. Nail compelling portraits at 75 mm. Or go for dramatic perspectives—try moving closer and filling the frame from high and low angles.

Get up close

The NIKKOR Z 28-75mm f/2.8 rewards you for getting in close. A minimum focus distance of just 0.19 m at 28 mm lets you create close-ups with dramatic wide-angle perspectives. If you’re shooting at 75 mm, you can make the most of the 0.39 m minimum focus distance to isolate subject detail. Bokeh is accentuated at closer distances for stunning results.

Fast, confident focus

Focusing is smooth, silent, and tack-sharp—even when shooting at close range. The fast autofocus system performs in perfect sync with your Nikon Z camera’s Eye-Detection AF to keep the focus right where you want it when shooting portraits.

Video savvy

Add great-looking video to your creative palette! Focus breathing is suppressed so you can smoothly shift focus while maintaining framing. Smooth aperture control lets you capture beautifully natural-looking shifts in brightness.

See where it leads

Play with framing. Play with motion. Play with depth of field. With its lightweight build and sharp optics, the NIKKOR Z 28-75mm f/2.8 makes a great walk-around lens and a superb creative partner.

Rich detail

This fast aperture zoom lens will bring you sharper details, richer colours, and less distortion—even when shooting at the wide-angle end of the focal-length range.

Intuitive control

You can customise the smooth click-less control ring for the way you shoot. Use it for precise manual focusing or to adjust aperture, ISO, or exposure compensation.

Ready to go

The NIKKOR Z 28-75mm f/2.8 is dust- and drip-resistant¹, with a coating that makes the lens easy to clean. From ground-level wide shots to cityscapes on rainy days—don’t hold back.
