Its lightweight and compact design makes it easy to carry, and the fast f/2 aperture is a significant advantage, particularly in low-light conditions.

    Love the quality of images and it helps make my Z6 look pretty good too. This is the perfect little lens as an all around shooter. I've even used it to shoot stars at night on a tripod and it was mind blowing how good it was for how affordable it is. Its super good with portraits too

    My go-to lens on my Z6. impressive background-blurring, Very compact and light. Seems a bit overpriced for the build quality but that doesn't bother me. Something a bit wider for street photography would be nice but I'll take the F2 aperture over the 28mm/F2.8 lens.

    I'm very happy with this lens. I just had a photoshoot and the lens performed beyond my expectations. The previous photoshoot I used a 85mm and it left me knowing I needed more background. This lens did just that. I couldn't be happier with the purchase.

    Nikon hit us out of the park with this little lens. It gives your photos kind of like a 3D pop. Satiation and sharpness are great. Great lens for the price.

    Sharp little lens, not so heavy or cumbersome. great focal length for street photography. Reminds me of my Leica rangefinders with a 35mm. Not attention drawing but great images. Sharp, contrasty. Real Bargain.
