Nikon NIKKOR Z 40mm f2 Lens (SE) Lens
It’s the one lens that makes street, travel, environmental portraits, and daily snaps feel effortlessly cinematic—without ever weighing you down or breaking the bank.
This lens is a no-brainer for Z fc and Zf owners who want their camera to look and feel like a classic film body while delivering modern sharpness and speed—its retro brass accents complete the vibe. Street and documentary photographers adore the natural 40mm perspective (60mm equiv. on DX) that’s wider than 50mm yet tighter than 35mm, perfect for context-rich storytelling. Travel minimalists and daily carry enthusiasts finally get a sealed, bright prime smaller than most kit zooms, while vloggers and content creators love the flattering perspective for talking-head shots and the gorgeous background blur at f/2. If you believe the best camera is the one you actually have with you, the 40mm f/2 SE quickly becomes your most-attached, most-loved lens in the entire Z system.
The NIKKOR Z 40mm f/2 (SE) is now capturing the world with a classic silhouette. Make it your go-to lens and encapsulate a wide range of daily moments with its short minimum focusing distance of 0.29m, and easily create impressive bokeh any time with its constant wide aperture of f/2.
Redesigned with an iconic look. The NIKKOR Z 40mm f/2 (SE) is a light and compact lens, weighing at approximately 170g, with a versatile angle of view that is fitting for a diverse range of scenes and subjects. Create bokeh expressions that are unique to its bright maximum aperture of f/2 and let your subjects stand out with clarity, consistency and brightness.
Stay classy with the NIKKOR Z 40mm f/2 (SE). Its knurling design takes inspiration from the manual NIKKOR lenses from the era of iconic Nikon film cameras, making it a perfect match with the Z fc’s aesthetics.
Compact and sized with mobility in mind, it weighs only at approximately 170g, and measures at 45.5mm (L) x 71.5mm (W).
Build a dreamy world decked out with beautiful bokeh. The f/2 constant wide aperture and a short minimum focus distance of 0.29m of the NIKKOR Z 40mm f/2 (SE) allows you to effortlessly create and capture moments against a background of large and soft bokeh - thanks to the 9-blade iris diaphragm. See your work in clarity even while shooting handheld. The f/2 wide aperture provides the versatility to capture in low-light situations by allowing you to use higher shutter speeds.
Explore a broad spectrum of scenes and subjects from cityscape snapshots to portraits with the versatile angle of view by the NIKKOR Z 40mm f/2 (SE). When attached to an APS-C size/DX-format camera, an equivalent 60mm medium-telephoto angle of view provides three-dimensional rendering with impressive bokeh — perfectly suited for portraits.
The perfect balance between compactness and superb autofocus control performance, the lens adopts a small-diameter, high-torque stepping motor (STM) that is outstandingly quiet, fast and accurate. Built tough on the exterior, the lens is designed to be dust- and drip-resistant¹ with a sealing that prevents external contaminants from entering the lens.
Share your perspectives not just in stills, but with also videos. The NIKKOR Z 40mm f/2 (SE) records in near silent with its quiet AF mechanism and click-less control ring to minimise any stray sounds. The focus-breathing reduction function effectively reduces the shifting of angle view for a smooth and natural shift in focus position.
This Nikon NIKKOR Z 40mm f2 Lens (SE) Lens comes with a full 2 Year Warranty.
