Nikon officially announced the Nikkor Z DX 24mm f/1.7 lens from the roadmap

By [NR] admin | Published: May 31, 2023





Nikon officially announced the Nikkor Z DX 24mm f/1.7 lens from the latest roadmap:

  • Pre-orders:
  • Additional information
  • Shipping starts June 15th
  • Primary features of the Nikkor Z DX 24mm f/1.7 lens:
    • A fast maximum aperture of f/1.7 makes it an ideal lens for rendering content that includes large bokeh for both still-image and video recording. During hand-held shooting in dimly lit and dark surroundings, the fast aperture enables fast shutter speeds to reduce the effects of camera shake, as well as the ability to use lower ISO sensitivities for less noise.
    • A convenient angle of view at 24-mm focal length and 7-inch minimum focus distance support recording of a wide variety of scenes.
    • Adoption of a stepping motor (STM) enables quiet autofocusing, minimizing focus sounds in video.
    • Designed with consideration for the suppression of focus breathing,1 the lens enables smooth focusing with less change in the angle of view, even when the focus point changes during video recording.
    • A compact and lightweight design makes it easy to carry inside a bag while mounted on a camera. When combined with the Nikon Z 30, the camera and lens combined weighs approximately 540g.
  • Press release:
