Nikon NIKKOR Z 28-75mm f/2.8 28mm
Weighing just 565g, this is the lightest full-frame f/2.8 zoom for Nikon Z cameras, pairing a constant f/2.8 aperture with a weather-sealed build for versatile low-light shooting. Its 1:2.94 maximum magnification ratio at 28mm provides near-macro close-up performance, a rare capability for a standard zoom. This lens is best for travel and event photographers who need a single, lightweight optic for everything from wide-angle scenes to detailed close-ups.
