The Nikon Z DX 12-28mm f/3.5-5.6 PZ VR is an ultra-wide-angle power zoom lens with a 12-28 mm focal-length range. It is ideal for vloggers, videographers, and photographers who want to fit an entire subject—or themselves—into the frame. Power zoom enables remote zoom operation, which is especially useful for solo vloggers or when shooting video with a gimbal.
The versatile 12-28 mm focal-length range covers perspectives from ultra-wide to wide. It is great for capturing sweeping ultra-wide-angle images that draw viewers in or creating a sense of space when shooting in tight interiors.
You do not need to touch the lens to zoom, and you can choose from eleven different zoom speeds for greater creative freedom. Use a slow zoom to build atmosphere, for example, or zoom in quickly to capture someone’s reaction.
You can control the zoom with assignable camera buttons, remotely with the Nikon ML-L7 remote control, or through the SnapBridge app on your smartphone.
The lens weighs just 205 grams, making it easy to take on your travels and light enough for most gimbals. The lens barrel does not change length during focusing or zooming, providing excellent balance for handheld shooting and eliminating the need to rebalance a gimbal after zooming.
In-lens vibration reduction helps produce bright, sharp images, whether you are filming while walking and talking or taking panoramic shots handheld. With a minimum focusing distance of just 0.19 meters, the lens also delivers sharp close-up results, making it ideal for creative wide-angle images.
The lens accepts 67 mm filters, which can be used and changed while the Nikon HB-112 lens hood remains attached.
