Hands-on with the Nikon Z 40mm F2

The Nikon Nikkor Z 40mm F2 is one of a pair of compact, lightweight and affordable prime lenses for the mirrorless Z-mount system (the other being the Z 28mm F2.8 which was announced recently). At only 170 g (~6 oz) is an attractive everyday lens for both full-frame and APS-C (where it covers a focal length equivalent to 60mm).

We’ve been shooting with the Z 40mm F2 for a few days, and in this article we’ll provide a brief overview of its key features and handling, along with some first impressions of image quality.
