Nikon Nikkor Z DX 12-28mm f/3.5-5.6 PZ VR

With a focal length range of 12-28mm, this powerful zoom lens is perfect for vloggers, filmmakers and photographers who want to capture the whole scene or fit in a shot themselves. The zoom can be controlled remotely thanks to the powerful powerzoom motor, ideal for those shooting their own vlogs or using a gimbal to capture video. The zoom has 11 different speeds for a variety of creative situations.

The lens weighs just 205g, making it easy to carry and light enough for most gimbals. The lens body does not lengthen or shorten when focusing or zooming, allowing for optimal balance when shooting handheld, and there is no need to rebalance the gimbal after zooming.

The image stabilisation of the lens ensures clear and sharp images, whether you're shooting walk&talk or handheld panoramas.The 19cm focusing distance allows you to take close-ups.
