Objectiva Nikon NIKKOR Z 26mm f/2.8

The pancake design is genuinely shocking—it’s under an inch thick, so the whole camera setup fits in a small pouch. I’ve been shooting street scenes all week and barely notice it’s attached, yet the sharpness and contrast in daylight are excellent.

I grabbed this for travel and the way it shrinks the whole kit down is unreal—it’s genuinely under an inch thick, so the camera finally fits in a jacket pocket without bulging. The f/2.8 is plenty for dim evening shots, and I’ve been impressed with how sharp the center stays even wide open.

It's genuinely shocking how much image quality comes out of something that thin. Slips into a jacket pocket without a bulge, and the f/2.8 aperture handles low-light streets better than I expected.
