The Nikon Z Portrait Kit Z 40mm f/2 + SB-700 Speedlight is a great combination for Nikon Z Mount Mirrorless users looking to bring their portrait photography game to the next level. Included in this kit is the portable yet powerful Nikon Nikkor Z 40mm f/2 Lens, and the Nikon SB-700 Speedlight ensuring impressively sharp results with a creative burst of artificial light.

Nikon Nikkor Z 40mm f/2 Lens The Nikon Nikkor Z 40mm f/2 Lens is a versatile prime straddling wide-angle and normal fields of view and featuring a bright f/2 maximum aperture. The distinct focal length is wide enough for spontaneous shooting but still tight enough for portraiture and selective focus shooting. NIKKOR Z 40mm f/2 has adopted a motor with a small-diameter, high-torque stepping motor (STM), striking the perfect balance between compactness and efficiency for users to enjoy its fast and accurate focusing, as well as quiet autofocus (AF) control mechanism. Coupled with the lens’ dust- and drip-resistant performance, take the latest addition to the NIKKOR Z line-up wherever you go to capture sharp detail in every image. From vibrant cityscapes to intimate portraits, capture a wide variety of scenes with the 40mm flexible angle of view, and experience superior optical performance even as you get closer to your subject as desired with the minimum focus distance of 0.29m. Make your subjects stand out from the scene with an aesthetically pleasing, soft, creamy, rounded bokeh in the background, using the lens’ f/2 aperture and adoption of 9 aperture blades. The fast maximum aperture allows the shutter speed to shoot quickly, even in low-light environments and prevents minimal camera-shake for sharper shots that utilise bokeh.

Key Features of the Nikon Nikkor Z 40mm f/2 Lens

• Bright f/2 maximum aperture excels in difficult lighting conditions and also offers increased control over depth of field for isolating subjects using depth of field.
• Two aspherical elements are featured in the optical design and help to limit spherical aberrations and distortion in order to achieve high sharpness and accurate rendering.
• Super Integrated Coating suppresses flare and ghosting for improved contrast and colour fidelity when working in strong lighting conditions.
• Stepping motor delivers impressively smooth, quiet, and fast autofocus performance that is well-suited to both stills and video applications. Full-time manual focus override is also possible and an internal focusing design is used, where only the internal lens groups are moved during focusing, to maintain the overall length of the lens during use and to promote faster focusing speeds.
• Programmable Control Ring is, by default, set to adjust manual focus but can also be used to control aperture or exposure compensation.
• A specialized electromagnetic aperture mechanism provides greater exposure control stability that is especially beneficial when working with fast continuous shooting rates.
• The rounded nine-blade diaphragm promotes a pleasing out of focus quality that benefits the use of shallow depth of field and selective focus techniques.
