Nikon has slowly but steadily been fleshing out its Z-mount lens range for its Z-series mirrorless cameras, but three-and-a-half years since the launch of the Z 50, its first crop-sensor mirrorless, one glaring omission has been an ultra-wide DX zoom. Until now, that is, with the announcement of the Z DX 12-28mm f/3.5-5.6 PZ VR.
With an 18-42mm zoom range in full-frame terms, it’s ideal for landscapes, interiors and any other shooting scenario where you need to squeeze more into the image frame. It’s not quite as wide-angle as the Nikon AF-S DX 10-24mm f/3.5-4.5G ED for Nikon’s DX DSLRs, with an effective 18mm rather than 15mm minimum focal length, but it does stretch quite a bit further at the telephoto end, at 42mm rather than 36mm, approaching standard lens focal length
