    • A Very Useful Lens
*: Black
This is a small, light, all purpose lens useful as a wide angle on full-frame Z bodies or a standard lens on APS-C Z bodies or full-frame bodies in Dx crop mode. It is a pleasure to carry mounted on my Z7ii for street or landscape photography, far better than the usual heavy, bulky Z lenses. Images exhibit no distortion in any way except at extreme close-ups, which is to be expected and even welcomed. And, it’s very sharp, right up there with all the f/1.8 Z lenses. ... show more

    • The hood does click and stays on!!! 😁

Review Image by RooTwinFlame13 RooTwinFlame13
The media could not be loaded. I’ve noticed many reviewers even on YouTube claiming the hood comes off and I accidentally turned it until it clicked while twisting the cap lol. It does click and stays on. Lovely lens that I’ll be using especially for street shots. I’m glad I got to purchase this as it’s backordered in most places, and even being sold used at a higher price than retail. Very nice lens. I’d recommend using a filter as this one protrudes in an out when focusing, therefore the possibility of dust getting inside is a little higher. Also it’s not the quietest when focusing but that doesn’t bother me. Great purchase ... show more

    • Nice 26 pancake with some design compromise
*: Black
I bought both the 26 f2.8 and 40 f2. I think I received a very good copy of the 26, but not the 40 (could not get the 40 to focus on specific point so returned it). The 26 is a very nice little lens, but there are some design and usability compromises. The optical element extends/retracts a bit, the lens hood twists on with a soft lock but there is no hard lock/click, and when a filter is attached it is attached to the lens hood rather than to the lens itself (since optical element retracts/extends). So, when you have the lens hood with filter attached, it looks like 4 section lens: lens body, focus ring, lens hood, filter extending from lens hood. The lens hood looks like a dummy focus ring. The flexible plastic lens cap slides over the lens hood/filter if attached, or if not, it slides over the focus ring. It is a friction fit lens cap. The lens cap may seem different, but I like it since it is very easy and convenient to remove and put on. Chalk up some design oddities to have a slim pancake with very good image quality - creative Nikon engineers... And of course, the price of $450-500 is a con - more expensive than the 28 ($275) Note prices of other lenses (new - much larger primes): 24mm f1.8 S $1,000 24mm f1.8 $750 20mm f1.8 $800 Overall, I am very happy with the 26 and initial images. As for the 26 v 28, I don't have the 28. ... show more

    • Excellent for low-light wide-angle needs
*: Black
I use this to get up close and personal at concerts and for some group portraits. Excellent and light weight. Cons: Doesn’t take a standard lens cover, and mine got lost. A new one is $20-30!! Are you kidding me? I expect better for a $400 lens (after $7-8 thousand on the bodies)

    • Short and Sweet
*: Black
I wanted to have a lens for my Z7ii and Z6ii that would make them easy to carry for street and casual photography. The lens cap is friction held with felt and gets knocked off a lot. Interestingly the filter size is 52mm which is what most of my old film Nikkors used so I have many filters that fit.

    • Mixed feelings….
*: Black
This lens is beautifully sharp in the center. Remarkable really given it’s size. It feels really high quality and even though it does make noise, it’s much quieter than I expected. It didn’t affect my shooting or get in the way. Two things did get in my way. First the corners never get sharp, even when stopped down. It’s it’s definitely noticeable compared to my Nikon 35mm 1.8s which is amazing. I was willing to make that compromise as long as everything else was good. The lens is weightless and I loved having it on the camera. Unfortunately The Nikon 26mm 2.8 has awful autofocus in low light. I needed to take 2-3 shots before it focused properly. This issue makes it unusable in the field as I had zero confidence this lens could focus in low light. It affected my entire night of low light shooting. Based on those two issues I had to return it. It’s possible there was a issue with my copy but I doubt it as it was shipped with care and hand delivered by Amazon. If you like the Ricoh GRIII then you might love this lens. It’s extremely similar except the GR III is sharper in the corners. It also has a lot of vignetting just the like GR III. I personally wish the made the lens a little bit bigger which would have increased corner sharpness and perhaps allowed it to have a better autofocus motor/performance. ... show more

    • A real pancake
*: Black
Perfect for the Zfc. Finally a real pancake lens. I dumped the 28mm for this. The autofocus is a bit noisier than the 28mm. If you’re using it for video keep that in mind when considering it. For photos it’s great.
