By Photo’s Bjorn Petersen Power Zoom for Content Creators An essential lens for content creators, vloggers, and live streamers, the NIKKOR Z DX 12-28mm f/3.5-5.6 PZ VR, from Nikon, is a versatile ultra-wide zoom featuring a compact design, consistent Power Zoom control, and a flexible focal length range. Versatile Ultra-Wide Zoom Perfect for single-person productions, day-in-the-life vlogs, and other styles of vlogging and content creation, this ultra-wide zoom has a highly useful and versatile focal length range that helps keep you in the frame while also showing your surroundings.

• The 12mm end of the zoom range is ideal for gaining immersive and broad field views as well as for recording yourself within the scene from arm’s length.
• The 28mm end, while still wide, lets you punch into the scene for a more selective view while still retaining context of the scene.
• Built for use on APS-C/DX-format cameras, this lens has an 18-42mm equivalent focal length range.
• Extra-low dispersion and aspherical elements contribute to high sharpness and well-controlled distortion throughout the zoom range.

Power Zoom and Handling The first Power Zoom lens for Nikon Z mirrorless cameras, this lens uses an internal linear motor to change between focal lengths, rather than a conventional ring or mechanical method of adjusting the zoom.

• Power Zoom can be controlled using the dedicated ring on the body or via the magnification buttons on select Nikon Z cameras. Additionally, Power Zoom can also be controlled via the optional ML-L7 Bluetooth Remote, from the SnapBridge app, or when using NX Tether Software and the optional MC-N10 Remote Grip.
• Compared to mechanical zooming methods, Power Zoom offers consistent and repeatable zooming speeds, along with silent and highly precise results, for continuity between takes.
• Choose between 11 different Power Zoom speeds to suit your subject and shooting style needs.

Vibration Reduction and Autofocus

• Benefitting handheld use for both photo and video shoots, 4.5 stop-effective Vibration Reduction helps to reduce the effects of camera shake when working in low light and steady takes recorded while walking.
• Stepping AF motor delivers smooth and silent focusing performance to benefit both photo and video applications.
• Minimum focusing distance of 7.5″ suits working with close-up subjects and delivering a unique point of view when combined with the ultra-wide focal length range.
• Internal focus and zoom design, coupled with a compact and lightweight profile, makes this lens an ideal choice when working from a gimbal.
• Lens also features a dust- and drip-resistant design to protect against moisture and other elements.
