1. Nikon Nikkor Z 70-200mm f/2.8 S
The fast Nikkor Z 70-200 mm 1:2.8 VR S full-frame lens is the second of the so-called "Trinity" lenses with a continuous aperture of 1:2.8 for mirrorless Z cameras from Nikon, following the Nikkor Z 24-70 mm 1:2.8 S. Sports, events, reportage: the telephoto zoom lens from the S series is perfect for photos and videos. The focus works quickly, evenly and silently. The sharpness is outstanding throughout the entire image section - even when shooting with an open aperture. Focus breathing in video recordings has been almost completely eliminated.
2. Nikon Nikkor Z 40mm f/2.0
The Nikkor Z 40mm f/2 is an ultra-compact prime lens that you can rely on with any Z camera in almost any situation. It is wide enough for street work, landscapes, and interiors, yet tight enough for authentic portraits and snapshots. It features a bright maximum aperture of f/2, which is sufficient for low-light conditions, freezes fast action, and separates your subject from the background with a beautiful bokeh effect. The Nikkor Z 40mm f/2 sits between the two coveted focal lengths of 35mm and 50mm, combining the strengths of both. It captures natural-looking portraits and close-ups like a 50mm lens, but is also wide enough for indoor shots, street photography, or in a crowd like a 35mm lens. On a DX-format Z camera, it has a field of view equivalent to 60mm, making it another versatile focal length for everything from portraits to street photography.
3. Nikon Nikkor Z 28-400mm f/4-8 VR
Closer. Further away. This 28-400mm all-purpose zoom lens is so compact that you can leave it on the camera – the possibilities are endless. Take it with you wherever your journey leads. The extremely versatile focal length range offers 28mm in the wide-angle range, 400mm in the super-telephoto range, and everything in between. From landscapes in wide-angle to street scenes and action shots with the telephoto, to close-ups in nature. Weighing only 725g, this wide-angle to super-telephoto lens is impressively easy to handle. You can effortlessly follow and capture subjects, even when the lens is extended to 400mm.
In the wide-angle range, you can focus at a distance of just 0.2m, and at a zoom of 400mm, even at a distance of 1.2m. The maximum magnification ratio of 1:2.8 allows for stunning close-ups. The integrated optical image stabilizer with 5.0 stops counteracts camera shake, ensuring sharp images even in low light. When used with a Nikon Z camera featuring Synchro-VR, the correction extends to 5.5 stops. Nikon's fast, quiet stepping motor enables quick focusing and offers near-silent operation. The silent focus ring is customizable. A zoom lock prevents the lens from extending when not in use. The included lens hood can be reversed to save space when storing the lens. No matter the weather, the reliable sealing around the mount and all moving parts prevents dust and water droplets from entering the lens barrel.
4. Nikon Nikkor Z 28-75mm f/2.8
Discover unique opportunities. With this bright and versatile lens, you can respond to your surroundings at any time. Whether it's street scenes, landscapes, or portraits, the compact Nikkor Z 28-75 mm f/2.8 gives you the freedom to create. Enjoy artistic brilliance and beautiful bokeh with this lightweight zoom lens. Explore the creative potential of shallow depth of field or shorter exposure times in natural light. Experiment with a range of classic focal lengths, while the constant aperture of f/2.8 ensures even exposure throughout the entire zoom range.
The large diameter of the Z mount, the high brightness of f/2.8, and the nine rounded aperture blades work together to make your sharply focused subject stand out against a beautifully natural background blur. Create images with dramatically limited sharpness or elevate your portraits to another level.
With its high brightness, this lens offers excellent performance in available light. Capture clear, sharp images in low-light situations or freeze motion with shorter exposure times without compromising brightness. The extensive zoom range into the telephoto area invites experimentation with composition. At 28 mm, you can fit more into the frame. At 75 mm, you can achieve compelling portraits. Try out dramatic perspectives – get closer and fill the frame from high or low angles.
5. Nikon Nikkor Z 35mm f/1.8 S
Discover the beauty. Tell your story. The classic 35mm focal length supports your artistic expression with its versatility. Step back and capture the entire scene without losing intimacy. Or get closer to the action and explore the fleeting emotions of a moment. The particularly large diameter of the Nikon Z mount allows Nikkor Z lenses to capture more light at every angle of the image field. This, combined with the short flange distance (the distance between the mount connection and the image sensor), results in only minimal light falloff from the center of the image to the edges. The result is incredible detail fidelity - even in the corners of the image. With its outstanding resolution, this lens reproduces every detail of your subject with remarkable accuracy. Benefit from greater sharpness and higher color fidelity - all the way to the edges of the image field and even at wide open aperture.
Point light sources in the subject, such as street lamps at night, are rendered with superior precision, as sagittal coma has been almost completely corrected. Point light sources appear as naturally round dots, even at the edges of the image. Two ED glass elements and three aspherical lenses contribute to sharp, brilliant images with rich colors and clear contrast. Vignetting (the light falloff from the center of the image to the edges) is almost completely eliminated - providing uniform brightness even in the corners of the image. Even in backlighting situations, Nikon's nanocrystal coating ensures brilliant, clear images, thanks to highly effective reduction of reflections, ghosting, and stray light. This also means significantly higher image quality when shooting with multiple light sources in the image field.
6. Nikon Nikkor Z MC 50mm f/2.8
The Nikkor Z MC 50 mm is a compact, lightweight, and versatile lens that allows even beginners in macro photography to achieve stunning close-up shots. It enables you to create super sharp macro images in life size (1:1) and impressive close-ups of small subjects and details, ranging from enticing food photography to close-ups of flowers. The focusing is fast and reliable, even at a distance of just 5.6 cm from the subject. Due to its compactness, this macro lens is also an ideal complement for the Nikon Z 50 with a DX format sensor.

The large field of view and minimal focus breathing ensure perfectly looking film footage.
8. Nikon Nikkor Z 50mm f/1.8 S
Dancing in the light. The outstanding imaging performance of this NIKKOR-Z lens from the S series sets new standards for 1.8 mm full-frame lenses. With its sharpness of detail and brightness right into the corners, it even leaves behind previous 1.4 fixed focal lengths.1 This is more than a new 50mm object. This is a new future for incredible photography. The Z bayonet mount with its exceptionally large diameter allows your NIKKOR-Z lenses to direct more light into any angle of the field of view. In combination with the small back focal distance, i.e. the distance between the bayonet connection and the image sensor, this ensures a visible minimization of the light fall-off from the center of the image to the edges. The result is a new potential for details and fine nuances - everywhere in the picture. The NIKKOR Z 50 mm 1:1.8 S offers outstanding quality in available-light photography. This, its natural perspective and its razor-sharp focus from just 0.4 meters enable a completely free, intuitive way of working. Use the surroundings of your subject to give it a frame. Or they choose a shorter distance for a detailed portrait with head and shoulders. Lifelike. Open for light. Both the superior resolution of this lens and its brightness (thanks to the elaborate reduction of vignetting) extend into the corners of the image field. This ensures that every detail of your subject is reproduced with perfect precision - even if you are shooting with an open aperture. Point light sources, such as distant street lights at night, are reproduced with superior precision as the sagittal coma has been almost completely corrected. Point light sources appear in the image as naturally round dots, also at the edges of the image. Two ED glass lenses and two aspherical lenses also contribute to razor-sharp images with high brilliance, clear colours and rich contrasts. The Nikon nanocrystal coating reduces reflections highly effectively and thus also ghost images and scattered light. Your image becomes clearer and more brilliant, especially in backlit situations. The effect is also clearly visible in motifs with several light sources in the image field.
