Creators using Nikon Z cameras can now pick up a wide angle pancake or portrait speciality lens.
Nikon is offering up details on a pair of prime lenses that have been on its development roadmap for some time. The slim Nikkor Z 26mm F2.8 and chunky Nikkor Z 85mm F1.2 S bolster options for photographers using Z mirrorless cameras. The former is the first pancake prime for the system, and the latter sports background-blurring optics in a portrait-friendly focal length.Nikkor Z 26mm F2.8
The Nikkor 26mm F2.8 comes in as the smallest and lightest prime for Z mirrorless cameras. It earns the pancake designation with its 1-inch height, and weighs just 4.5 ounces. Despite the slim form, the lens includes a hybrid focus-control ring. A lens hood is included too, and is required if you want to add a filter.
Nikon is billing it as dual-purpose lens, one that make sense as an everyday prime on both full-frame cameras and DX (APS-C) models.
