Starting with general-purpose zoom lenses for full-frame Z cameras, Nikon offers three options in the native Z-mount: the Z 24-70mm f4 S and Z 24-70mm f2.8 S which share the same range but differ in aperture, price and weight, and the Z 24-200mm f4-6.3 VR which offers a super-zoom range and optical stabilisation. If you’re using a DX-format camera, the field of view of all lenses, whether DX or FX, will be reduced by 1.5 times, so a 50mm would become equivalent to 75mm.Ībove: the Nikon Z7 with the Z 24-70mm f4 S lens You can fit any Z-lens to either type of camera, although lenses with DX in their title are only designed to be sharp over the smaller APSC area, so are not recommended for full-frame bodies unless you want to achieve a special effect. Z-series cameras are available with full-frame sensors, (known as FX in Nikon’s terminology), or smaller ‘cropped’ APSC sensors (known as DX by Nikon). Nikon launched its Z-series full-frame mirrorless system in mid-2018, but while it’s relatively young, Nikon has been steadily building a catalogue of lenses starting with the basics along with some more exotic options that showcase what the system is capable of. As always I’ll link to my reviews and sample image galleries where available, along with including links to check the latest pricing.īest Z-mount lenses for Nikon Z mirrorless cameras Since the Z system is comparatively young, I’ll also include a handful of DSLR lenses in that guide as alternative options.
This doesn’t work the other way round though, so it’s not possible to fit a Z lens onto a DSLR. First I’ll start with my Best Z-mount lenses for Nikon Z-series mirrorless cameras, followed by my Best F-mount lenses for Nikon DSLRs.į-mount DSLR lenses can also work with Nikon’s mirrorless cameras using an optional adapter, so my DSLR lens guide equally applies to Z-series cameras and will provide lots of alternative models.
I’m splitting this guide into two sections depending on whether you shoot with a Nikon mirrorless camera or a Nikon DSLR, and you can jump directly to each section as required.
Welcome to my Buyer’s Guide to the Best Nikon Lenses! Whether you have a Nikon DSLR or mirrorless camera – or both! – you’ll find out which lenses I can personally recommend from Nikon, along with third-party manufacturers including Sigma, Tamron and Samyang.
