The lightweight wide-angle narrator
The Nikon NIKKOR Z 17-28mm f/2.8, a portable ultra-wide-angle zoom perfect for creators, manages to combine speed and compactness while offering a wide field of view perfect for anything from landscapes to architectural subjects and portable vlogging applications.

Lightweight and compact design

• Despite the bright f/2.8 design, it manages to remain sleek and lightweight, making it ideal for handheld use, all-day sessions, and a variety of vlogging needs.

• Compared to the NIKKOR Z 14-24mm f/2.8 S, this lens has a smaller diameter, uses more widely available 67mm front filters, and is 30% lighter while retaining the same f/2.8 speed.

• The internal zoom design prevents the lens from extending during use, making it easier to balance while shooting, especially when used alongside a gimbal.

• Perfect for FX-format Z-mount cameras, this smaller lens is also ideal for DX-format bodies and will provide an equivalent focal length range of 25.5-42mm.

• The programmable control ring is, by default, set to adjust manual focus, but it can also be used to control aperture or exposure compensation. It also has a clickless design, which is suitable for video needs.

• The specialized electromagnetic diaphragm mechanism provides greater stability in exposure control, which is especially beneficial when working with fast continuous shooting speeds.

• The dust- and moisture-resistant lens barrel benefits lens use in harsh conditions. There is also a smudge-resistant coating on the front element that resists smudges, fingerprints, and dirt and is easy to clean.

Quiet, smooth autofocus

• The stepping motor maintains fast and quiet autofocus performance that is ideal for photo and video needs.

• An internal focusing design is used, where only the internal lens groups are moved during focusing, to maintain the overall lens length during use and promote faster focusing speeds.

• The minimum focusing distance of 7.5" benefits working with close-up subjects.

• Focus breathing has been suppressed to benefit video use and maintain a constant field of view when changing focus.

Ultra-wide flexibility

• The constant f/2.8 design maintains consistent performance throughout the zoom range and also benefits low-light performance and depth of field control.

• The bright design and ultra-wide focal length make this lens suitable for astrophotography needs.

• The wide zoom range suits travel and everyday shooting needs and is especially suitable for cityscapes, landscapes, interiors, and architectural subjects.

• The nine-blade rounded diaphragm contributes to a pleasing bokeh quality, benefiting the use of shallow depth of field and selective focus techniques.

• Two extra-low dispersion elements help correct chromatic aberrations and color fringing for clear and accurate color rendering.

• A Super ED element is also used, offering even lower dispersion properties and further reducing color fringing and other chromatic aberrations.

• Three aspherical elements reduce spherical aberrations and distortion for sharp imagery with accurate rendering. Additionally, these specialized elements also promote a more compact and lightweight lens design.
