Nikon Z 28mm f/2.8 review (and comparison with 40mm f/2)

Image
The pair of compact and reasonably priced primes, 28mm f/2.8 and 40mm f/2 , were met with anticipation when launched: Finally some lenses for the Z system that were not only optimized for performance, but also for size and price. Having smaller and less expensive primes will certainly help the system to succeed. The 28mm lens was available first, but then only with some retro decorations in a kit with the Nikon Z fc retro styled camera. The 40mm lens was available for individual purchase first, then followed by the non-retro styled 28mm lens. Both seen below: Nikkor Z 28mm f/2.8 and Nikkor Z 40mm f/2 I have already reviewed the Nikkor Z 40mm f/2 lens . Now that I have both, however, it makes sense to compare them. Which one of them should you get? Lens Nikon Z 28mm f/2.8 Nikon Z 40mm f/2 Number of diaphragm blades 7 9 Lens elements/groups 9/8 6/4 Minimum focus distance 0.19m 0.29m Weight 155g 170g Diameter
