24mm 11 Nikon Z Weather Sealed
Why we recommend this

The f/1.7 aperture and 4.7-inch minimum focus distance set it apart, with weather sealing adding durability. Silent autofocus and suppressed focus breathing suit video work, while the 281g weight keeps it portable. Best for Nikon Z APS-C portrait and close-up shooters who want a fast 35mm-equivalent prime and can sacrifice landscape sharpness.
