Nikon Z 26mm f/2.8 £TBA/$TBA www.nikon.co.uk

Announced alongside the 85mm f/1.2 at the Las Vegas Consumer Electronics Show is a new 26mm pancake prime, which looks to be even slimmer than the Z DX 16-50mm zoom lens. While it’s full framecompatible, it’s likely to be most at home on an Aps-c-format body, where it will have a 39mm effective focal length. This moderate wide-angle view should see it serve as a great knockabout lens for all-purpose street photography, landscapes and everyday shooting. While, once again, full specs are yet to be released, the Z 26mm f/2.8 boasts a slim and lightweight design, and so looks to be aimed squarely at those photographers looking to take their cameras with them on the go. This prime lens might be the perfect photography companion, ensuring that shooters never miss an opportunity to capture beautiful images with its wide focal length. Regardless of whether you’re shooting indoors and want to get the whole space into frame, or you just want to fit as much of the landscape into your composition as possible, this might be the ideal ‘always-on’ lens for those new to the Nikon Z system, or those just wanting the most compact solution. The Z 26mm f/2.8 achieves outstanding slimness and lightness, as well as high rendering performance, making it an ideal lens for advanced amateur photographers who take their camera everywhere so as not to miss a moment. FIRST IMPRESSIONS This slim go-anywhere optic could make small-body mirrorless cameras like the Nikon Z 30 even more pocketable for street and travel photography.
