There’s certainly no lack in outright image quality, however, this lens is being sold not only in its own right but as a ‘kit’ lens with the Z6 and range-topping Z7 cameras. As well as having a retractable design for compact stowage, the glass elements towards the front of the lens naturally have a smaller diameter, the trade-off being that the f/4 aperture rating transmits less light and doesn’t allow for such a tight depth of field. Less than half the price of Nikon’s top-flight Z 24-70mm f/2.8 lens (below), this one is much more compact and lightweight. Lacks its bigger sibling's tight depth of field Read our full Nikkor Z 17-28mm f/2.8 review for more details Overall, this delivers excellent image quality and all-round performance – at a bargain price! There’s no optical VR (Vibration Reduction) but the lens takes full advantage of in-body stabilization, featured in all of Nikon’s full-frame Z system cameras. The autofocus system is very snappy for stills, while also delivering smooth transitions for video capture, along with negligible focus breathing and virtually silent operation. As such it follows on from, and becomes the perfect partner to, the Nikon Z 28-75mm f/2.8 standard zoom. The Nikon Z 17-28mm is a beautiful compromise to creating a fast wide-angle zoom - by providing a lens with less wide-angle range than the more traditional 14-28mm f/2.8, it has made a lens that is easier to carry and more affordable for users. Pro and enthusiast photographers aspire to owning zooms with fast, constant f/2.8 maximum apertures - but these come at a price and with bulk.
