Nikon has announced a new 17-28mm f/2.8 lens for its Z-mount mirrorless cameras.
Sep 19, 2022 The full-frame wide-angle optic is the latest addition to the company’s selection of f/2.8 zoom lenses.
The company says the wide aperture not only enhances the lens’ low light performance, but also helps create a welcoming bokeh for the out of focus regions to make the subject matter truly “pop,” claiming scenes that were previously difficult to capture are now easier than ever to photograph in vibrant detail.
The lens employs a Super ED glass element for maximum image quality at all focal lengths and is weather sealed to protect from dust and water droplets, and the front element features an antifouling coating that makes it easy to wipe away dirt, smudges, and fingerprints. David Schloss was able to take part in an extremely brief hands-on with the lens in Madison Square Park in New York City—a nice location for lens testing due to the variety of subjects.
