There’s only one ring on the Nikkor Z 40mm f/2 and as usual with Nikon Z-mount lenses, it can be set to adjust aperture, exposure compensation, focus or ISO when the camera is set to autofocus mode. I tested it on the Z7 II and it’s perfect for one-handed photography, but the control ring is ideally positioned for use as you rest the camera in you left hand while holding the grip with your right. But that doesn’t mean that it feels cheap or flimsy, it actually feels nicely made and at 170g/6oz about the ‘right’ weight.Īt 45.5mm or 1.8-inches in length and 70mm or 2.8-inches in diameter it looks great on a full-frame Nikon Z-series camera like the Z7 II, but it’s also a good size for an APS-C format model like the Z50 or Zfc. Perhaps with budget and weight in mind, however, it has a plastic barrel and lens mount.


Despite its sub-£250/$300 price tag, the Nikon Z 40mm f/2 is sealed against moisture and dust, so it doesn’t have to be saved for use on dry-weather days.
