Product Description

Nikon 40mm F2

Nikon introduces the Nikon 40mm F2 compact and lightweight prime lens offering both superb image quality and versatility. A lens that combines the innovative technology synonymous with Nikon’s Z series and stunning retro design.

With a lightweight build, and a superior optical performance, the Nikon 40mm F2 Lens is perfectly suited for shooting portraits and other still subjects, impressing users no matter the setting. The constant maximum aperture of F2, allows photographers to create the most beautifully round-shaped bokeh and its 40mm standard focal length emphasises the primary subject. The Nikon 40mm F2 lens also inherits its design from the classic Nikkor lenses, which were released in the same period as the Nikon FM2 film camera - the heritage model that inspired the Z fc. Its arrival expands the choice of lenses, which are suited to the Z fc’s retro design. The Nikon 40mm F2 compact size and lightweight nature means it doesn’t only look good, but is also perfect for those on the move. Meanwhile, its high-speed and accurate Auto Focus alongside its dust and drip resistant body allows the lens to blend into any lifestyle, enhancing the joy of shooting.
