Nikon NIKKOR Z 40mm f/2 Prime Lens for Z-Mount Cameras JMA106DA

Wide-Normal Prime Lens Overview

Compatibility

This wide-normal prime lens is designed for FX-format Nikon Z-mount mirrorless cameras and can also be used with DX-format models, providing a 60mm equivalent focal length.

Performance

• Bright Aperture: The f/2 maximum aperture excels in difficult lighting conditions and offers increased control over depth of field for isolating subjects.
• Optical Design: Two aspherical elements help limit spherical aberrations and distortion, achieving high sharpness and accurate rendering.
• Super Integrated Coating: This coating suppresses flare and ghosting, improving contrast and color fidelity in strong lighting conditions.

Autofocus and Manual Control

• Stepping Motor: Delivers impressively smooth, quiet, and fast autofocus performance, suitable for both stills and video applications.
• Full-Time Manual Focus Override: Allows for manual adjustments while maintaining fast focusing speeds.
• Internal Focusing Design: Only the internal lens groups are moved during focusing, maintaining the overall length of the lens.

Control Features

• Programmable Control Ring: By default, it adjusts manual focus but can also control aperture or exposure compensation.
• Electromagnetic Aperture Mechanism: Provides greater exposure control stability, beneficial for fast continuous shooting rates.

Diaphragm Design

The rounded nine-blade diaphragm promotes a pleasing out-of-focus quality, enhancing the use of shallow depth of field and selective focus techniques.
