Description — Nikon 28-75mm f/2.8
The Nikon NIKKOR Z 28-75mm f/2.8 is a full-frame standard zoom lens for the Nikon Z mirrorless system. It spans a 28–75mm focal length range with a constant f/2.8 maximum aperture, providing consistent light-gathering capability and depth-of-field control throughout the zoom range. The lens supports both autofocus and manual focus, giving shooters flexibility across different shooting styles and situations.
Built around the Nikon Z mount, it integrates directly with Nikon's mirrorless ecosystem. With a 67mm filter thread, it accommodates a wide range of common filter accessories without requiring oversized or expensive options. At 565g, the lens offers a practical balance between build quality and portability.
One consideration for buyers is that image stabilization is not present on this lens, so stabilization-dependent shooting will rely on the camera body's capabilities. The 28–75mm range positions this as a versatile everyday zoom covering wide, standard, and short telephoto perspectives.
