The Nikon Nikkor Z 26 mm f/2.8 is a full-frame, wide-angle prime lens manufactured by Nikon for use on Nikon Z-mount mirrorless cameras.

Introduction

On January 5, 2023, Nikon announced the development of the lens.[2] The lens was introduced on February 7, 2023, alongside the Nikkor Z 85 mm f/1.2 S.[3][4][5] According to Nikon, at the time of release, the lens was the slimmest autofocus full-frame lens for mirrorless cameras, and with only 125 g, the lightest amongst Nikkor Z lenses.[3] The lens comes with a bayonet-type lens hood (HB-111) and a dedicated slip-on lens cap (LC-K108), which can be attached to both the lens or the lens hood.[3][6] There is no filter thread on the lens, 52 mm filters can only be mounted on the lens hood.[6]

Features

  • 26 mm focal length (approximately equivalent field of view of a 39 mm lens when used on a DX format camera)
  • Autofocus using a stepping motor (STM), focus-by-wire manual focus ring
  • 8 elements in 6 groups (including 3 aspherical lens elements)
  • 7-blade rounded diaphragm
  • One customizable control ring (manual focusing by default, aperture and exposure compensation functions can be assigned to it)
