- Beautiful background blur: The shallow depth of field of f/2 is enhandced by the lens' 9 rounded blade diaphragm, creating a natural bokeh effect.

I’ve been using the Nikon NIKKOR Z 40mm f/2 Lens on my Z-mount camera and it’s quickly become one of my favorite primes. It’s super lightweight and easy to carry, yet delivers sharp images with pleasing bokeh thanks to the f/2 aperture — perfect for portraits, street photography, and daily shooting. Autofocus is quick and quiet, and overall performance feels much more advanced than its size suggests. Highly recommended if you want a versatile, high-quality lens that’s great for everyday use!

Amazing value for such a high quality little lens! The lens is lightweight and compact; easy to carry around if you are really active either on a hiking trail or city streets. Works very well for landscapes and street photography, but can work decently well as a wider portrait lens for full body shots. The lens is of cheaper quality, though, being that the housing is made of plastic while some Nikon lenses are metal, but that's entirely fine for such a short, prime lens where it's not as susceptible to accidental damage like a long, zooming telephoto lens. If you don't already have a lens that open wider than F/4 in the neighborhood of 40 mm, then I definitely recommend the lens. It's a great complement especially if you already have the F/4 24 - 70 kit lens.

This Z 40mm f2.0 prime lens is a great value. I find that 40mm on my full-frame Nikon Zf mirrorless camera is a great option for my "walkaround" photography. It's not "wide-angle" it's not "telephoto", it's right in the middle where many photos are taken. It's small and light weight so it's easy to tote around if you want to switch with a wide or tele lens. I bought the standard edition as the SE version was not available at the time. They are the same lens except for the "old-fashioned" look of the SE version. That was not an issue for me. Also the SE model is more expensive. I'm very pleased with the sharpness and clarity of my images. The manual focus ring is smooth and accurate. The build quality is good and everything looks well-assembled. It's a great price and value for the results I'm getting. I'm really glad I bought it.

Love this lens! Build quality it's 2025 economic reality, numbers are tough at nikon so they made a plastic quality for the same market the 50mm f1.8 used to be in 2010 (price it's the same, 50mm cost me 150usd in 2010, that should be around 230usd in 2025) I think the most important feature of this lens is that simplifies photography, it's compact, and you don't have to think about closer zoom at different apertures, you zoom with your feet, and just take pictures. I would really like if it was a liiiittle bit smaller, a little more "mirrorless", what's the point of making the camera smaller and the lens bigger? Yeah, I know, image quality, blah blah... lets be real, nobody takes better pictures because of mirrorless!

This lens has become my "daily driver." It's a great focal length for every day photography. The size and weight are great just for walking around and exploring. The lens is plenty sharp, but I'm not zooming in to 400% to determine a picture's worth. Overall, I have no complaints about this lens. I bought this with the expectation that this would be more of a limited-time lens. However, this is on my Z8 about 80% of the time.

The Nikon NIKKOR Z 40mm f/2 lens exceeded my expectations in every way. Its large aperture of f/2 allows for stunning low-light performance and beautiful background blur, adding a professional touch to my photography. The 40mm focal length strikes a perfect balance between wide-angle and portrait, making it versatile for a variety of shots. Whether capturing crisp details or achieving creamy bokeh, this lens delivers exceptional image quality. Its compact and lightweight design makes it an ideal companion for any photography adventure. I'm thoroughly impressed with the results I've achieved using the Nikon NIKKOR Z 40mm f/2 lens, and it has become a permanent fixture in my camera bag.

Given the price, this and the 28mm f2.8 are the most affordable lenses in Nikon's Z lineup. I prefer the more zoomed-in, compressed and subject-isolating nature of the 40mm, which is a nice compromise between the traditional 35mm and 50mm. You can find plenty of reviews out there detailing all the technical specifications and performance capabilities of this lens, so I'll keep my review brief. I think this makes an excellent walk-around lens, and makes carrying a Z body more fun and laid-back feeling compared to the larger, heavier, more serious and professional S-line lenses (which are great for when you want perfect, pixel-peeping sharpness, better bokeh and very little coma or CA, etc.). This lens holds its own however. The main thing you have to work around in order to get the most out of this little gem is to avoid taking close-up shots with the aperture wide-open, as you will find the result soft, murky and cloudy. If your subject is five feet or less away, stop down to f5.6 to f8.0 (its sweet spot) and your subject will be very satisfyingly sharp and the depth of field still very effective. Save f2 for when your subject is far away enough, preferably using f2.8 if you can for more sharpness.
