Fast focusing and a short minimum focusing distance

The VXD linear motor focuses quickly. With the wide-angle lens, you can get as close as 0.15 metres to the subject, giving a maximum magnification of 1:4.5. This means you can photograph details and small subjects without the need for a separate macro lens.

Lightweight and weather-resistant construction

The Nikon Z version weighs 315 g and has a 55 mm filter thread, so you can carry the lens with you all day. Its moisture-resistant construction and fluorine-coated front element are a great help when shooting outdoors.
