Nikon NIKKOR Z 17-28mm f/2.8 Lens
The NIKKOR Z 17-28mm f/2.8 is a portable, ultra-wide-angle zoom designed for creators who need a mix of speed, compactness, and a broad field of view. Whether you are capturing sweeping landscapes, intricate architecture, or handheld vlogs, this lens delivers professional-grade performance in a travel-friendly form factor. Its constant f/2.8 aperture ensures excellent low-light capability and beautiful depth-of-field control throughout the entire zoom range.

Lightweight & Gimbal-Ready Design
Compact Build: Despite its bright f/2.8 maximum aperture, this lens is 30% lighter than the 14-24mm f/2.8 S. Its sleek diameter allows for the use of standard, widely available 67mm filters.

Internal Zooming: The lens does not extend or retract while zooming. This consistent length makes it exceptionally easy to balance on gimbals and steady-cams, providing a stable center of gravity.

Weather-Sealed Construction: The lens barrel is dust- and moisture-resistant for use in challenging environments, and the front element features an antifouling coating that easily sheds fingerprints and dirt.

Sophisticated Optics & Performance
Ultra-Wide Precision: A specialized optical formula featuring two Extra-low Dispersion (ED) elements, one Super ED element, and three aspherical elements works to eliminate chromatic aberrations and distortion for tack-sharp imagery.

Smooth & Silent AF: A quick stepping motor provides near-silent autofocus, making it ideal for both high-speed photography and professional video work.

Suppressed Focus Breathing: Designed with videographers in mind, the lens maintains a consistent field of view when shifting focus, ensuring professional-looking transitions.

Macro-Style Close-Ups: A minimum focusing distance of just 7.5 inches allows you to get close to your subject for dramatic wide-angle perspectives.

Creative Control & Versatility
Programmable Control Ring: Customize the click-less ring to adjust manual focus, aperture, or exposure compensation smoothly and silently.

Constant f/2.8 Aperture: The fast design is perfect for astrophotography, low-light interiors, and achieving a pleasing bokeh quality with the rounded 9-blade diaphragm.

Z-Mount Compatibility: Optimized for full-frame (FX) Nikon Z cameras, it also works perfectly on DX-format bodies, providing a versatile 25.5–42mm equivalent focal length.

Included Accessories
Lens Hood: This lens includes the dedicated lens hood, designed to prevent flare and protect the front element from impact.

John B. ★★★★★

The autofocus is incredibly fast and silent, which makes a huge difference when shooting video. I also love that this ultra-wide zoom maintains f/2.8 across the whole range without being bulky.

Riley ★★★★★

It’s surprisingly light for an f/2.8 zoom, making it easy to hike with, and the 17mm end captures sweeping landscapes without distortion.

Steven ★★★★★

The f/2.8 aperture throughout the zoom range makes it perfect for indoor events without a flash, and it's surprisingly light for such a wide lens.
