The NIKKOR Z 40mm f/2 renders stills and movies with beautiful detail, depth, and colour. Its natural angle of view is ideal for candid portraits, as well as interviews and how-to videos.

Sharp focus, soft backgrounds

Draw attention to your subject with a softly blurred, super-creamy background. The wide Z mount and f/2 rounded 9-blade aperture give you bokeh that really makes your images stand out. Artful brilliance has never been easier.
