Small, fast prime lens—big beautiful bokeh

Sharp, fast, and compact enough to wield discreetly, the iconic-looking NIKKOR Z 40mm f/2 (SE) is a brilliant everyday lens. From spontaneous snapshots to carefully composed photographs, you get richly detailed shots even in low light. Bokeh looks beautifully natural: putting your subject in sharp focus against softly blurred backgrounds has never been easier.

Heritage design

With classic design details faithfully recreated from original blueprints of Ai Nikkor lenses, our special-edition 40 mm f/2 lens brings a touch of iconic, retro style to any Nikon Z camera. From the knurling around the control ring to the fonts used for the lens name—this full-frame prime is sharp. In more than one way.

Sharp up close

The NIKKOR Z 40mm f/2 (SE) rewards you with crisp, clear images when you get in close. The minimum focus distance lets you focus sharply even with the camera just 29 cm away from your subject. Plus, the lens' beautiful bokeh is accentuated at closer distances for artful-looking background blur.

Portability

Wherever you go, this fast, compact lens is ready to tell any story that comes your way. You can easily keep the NIKKOR Z 40mm f/2 (SE) on your camera as you wander. Or add it to your kit bag and use it as a lightweight second lens.

Dust and drip resistant

Like taking walks with your Nikon Z camera? Our retro-styled 40 mm prime is sealed to prevent dust and water droplets¹ from getting between you and a great image. It doesn’t mind whether you shoot on city streets, mountain tops, or dusty trails.

Design

Special-Edition NIKKOR Z prime lenses are all about classic design details from back then, and cutting-edge performance for today. The NIKKOR Z 40mm f/2 (SE) offers a natural angle of view, while the NIKKOR Z 28mm f/2.8 (SE) offers a wider perspective.
