Nikon Z 12-28mm f3.5-5.6 DX PZ VR Lens

Widen your vision and zoom into your creative style with the Nikon Z 12-28mm f3.5-5.6 DX PZ VR, an ultra-portable, ultra-wide-angle power zoom lens. From inspiring vlogs to short movies and sharp snapshots, take your ideas where you want them to go.

Key Features

- Dynamic 12-28mm focal length range: covers an ultra-wide to wide angle of view. Brilliant for capturing sweeping ultra-wide views that draw an audience in, or for creating a sense of space when shooting in cramped indoor locations.

- Power zoom: covers the entire 12-28mm range in a smooth 36 seconds, or the same range in just over half a second! 11 different settings give precise control over the zoom speed.

- Zoom without touching the lens: control the zoom via assignable camera buttons, or remotely via the Nikon ML-L7 remote control or SnapBridge app.

- Sharp up close: a minimum focus distance of just 0.19m delivers sharp results with the camera just 19cm away from a subject.

- Super lightweight: weighing just 205g this lens is easy to carry and light enough for most gimbals.

- Well balanced: an internal zoom and focusing mechanism means the lens barrel does not move and the lens' centre of gravity remains stable, for optimal balance whether shooting handheld or with a gimbal.

- Rock steady: up to 4.5 stops of in-lens Vibration Reduction (VR) for clear, blur-free shots. Normal and Sports VR modes on the camera optimise for static or active subjects.

- Silent control ring: the clickless, customisable control ring is great for shooting video. It can be used to create fluid aperture transitions, tweak ISO, and more.

- Protected: the lens barrel and all moving parts are sealed to protect from dust and water droplets.

- Filter ready: compatible with 67mm filters, which can be used and swapped out while the Nikon HB-112 lens hood is still attached to the lens.

Dynamic 12-28mm zoom range

You can easily fit the whole scene in, or fit yourself into the frame, with this versatile ultra-wide-angle zoom lens. Go for sweeping views that will make your audience feel like they're really there, or create a sense of space when shooting in cramped indoor locations. For unusual perspectives or more subject detail, a minimum focus distance of just 0.19 m delivers razor-sharp results when you move closer.

It's all about the power zoom

The power zoom function lets you zoom smoothly and steadily without touching the lens. It’s ideal if you’re shooting your own vlogs or using a gimbal to capture video. Zoom in or out using assignable buttons on your Nikon Z camera body. Or use the Nikon ML-L7 Remote Control, or SnapBridge app, to control the zoom remotely.

Creative zooming at your fingertips

Want to build the atmosphere with a slow zoom, or quickly zoom in on someone's reaction? You can zoom from an ultra-wide to a wide angle of view in a smooth 36 seconds. Or cover the same range in just over half a second with a fast-and-hard zoom! With 11 settings to choose from, you get precise control over the zoom speed you want to use.

Lightweight, balanced, and gimbal friendly

When your zoom lens weighs only 205g, and is this well balanced, you can just grab it and go. The barrel of this compact, lightweight lens doesn’t get physically longer or shorter when you focus or zoom, so the lens' centre of gravity remains stable. You get optimal balance whether you’re shooting handheld or using a gimbal.

VR keeps it steady

If you’re looking for a rock-steady vlogging lens, this wide-angle power zoom lens delivers. Up to 4.5 stops of in-lens Vibration Reduction ensures clear, blur-free shots whether you're walking and talking as you film or panning handheld. Normal and Sports VR modes in your Nikon Z camera optimise for static or active subjects.

Silent control ring

The clickless, customisable control ring is great for shooting video. You can use it to create fluid aperture transitions, or tweak ISO as you film, safe in the knowledge that your footage won’t pick up any operational sounds. The knurled ring is also beautifully easy to grip and adjust.
