The NIKKOR Z 17-28mm f/2.8 provides users with a variety of shooting capabilities – inspiring self-expression, creativity, and exploration.

SINGAPORE – Nikon Singapore Pte. Ltd. introduces the NIKKOR Z 17-28mm f/2.8, a portable and lightweight ultra-wide angle zoom lens that provides users with exceptional versatility. Its focal length offers users a diversified and convenient shooting experience, from capturing vivid night scenes, to everyday snaps – all without having to switch between multiple lenses. Housed in a compact body, the lens is easy to bring around for travels, equipping users with the ability to capture beautiful cityscapes and landscapes on the go.

“Encased in a sleek body, the NIKKOR Z 17-28mm f/2.8 offers remarkable shooting capabilities for passionate hobbyists. The performance and versatility of this lens in its focal length and wide aperture seek to inspire hobbyists and creators alike to express and document their travels and adventures be it on the streets or mountains to their heart’s content,” said Horie Masahiro, Managing Director of Nikon Singapore Pte. Ltd.

The NIKKOR Z 17-28mm f/2.8 redefines versatility with notable optical quality. A constant maximum aperture of f/2.8 coupled with the shortest minimum focus distance[1] of 0.19m (at 17mm zoom position), enables users to experiment with different angles and distances to emphasise the subject or easily create natural bokeh with the short working distance of approximately 5cm. Enjoy smooth capturing of nearby subjects without requiring extra distance. Furthermore, its fast aperture allows for shooting in confined, low-light conditions without sacrificing image quality.

Live performances and other fleeting moments have never been easier to capture. Equipped with a fast and precise autofocus (AF) system that uses an extremely quiet stepping motor (STM), the lens gives users little to worry about when shooting fast-paced situations or spontaneous moments.

Housed in a slim and compact body measuring just slightly smaller than a wallet, the lens also weighs approximately 450g and fits easily into any bag to be carried around, offering users a shooting experience with increased mobility and freedom. Shoot with peace of mind under any daily weather condition as the lens is designed with a sealing to prevent dust and water droplets from entering[2]. In addition, its frontmost surface is coated for an antifouling performance thus providing means for quick cleaning and offering a stress-free shooting experience.

Equipped with a control ring that offers a smooth feel when using it and without any intrusive sounds, the NIKKOR Z 17-28mm f/2.8 further allows users to record movies comfortably with a natural shift in focus position and brightness level. The lens is also designed to effectively suppress effects of focus breathing to help achieve smoother transitions in videos. Its compact size and weight pairs well with a gimbal, even while maintaining optimal performance needed for 4K video recording.
