Nikon Z f body + Tamron 28-75mm f2.8 Di III VXD G2

Nikon Z f housing

The Nikon Z f is equipped with the advanced EXPEED 7 image processing engine, just like the highly acclaimed Nikon Z 9. This enables first-class photo and film recordings. It combines style and substance and impresses with leading technology, including outstanding autofocus and image stabilization functions. The result is a camera that is ideal for anyone who wants to realize their creative vision in outstanding quality.

The design of the Nikon Z f pays homage to the legendary FM2 and incorporates elements such as the characteristic dials, the shutter release and the classic Nikon logo from the 1970s. All dials are carefully crafted from high-quality brass and integrated into a robust magnesium alloy body, giving the camera an incomparable premium look and feel

Expanded image expression possibilities thanks to new functions

In addition to the traditional monochrome Picture Control setting, the Z f now offers two innovative picture controls: "Neutral; Monochrome" and "Deep Tone; Monochrome". A dedicated black and white option has been added to the photo/video selector under the acronym "B&W" to allow seamless switching between shooting modes.

The camera also boasts an impressive range of inspiring functions and features, including Creative Picture Control and the ability to shoot with pixel shift - an innovation that the Z f is the first Nikon system camera to support. It is also the world's first camera* to feature Focus Area VR, which effectively suppresses blurring around the focus area to guarantee first-class results.

Optimized video performance for diverse requirements

The brand new camera has an extensive range of video functions. These include direct in-camera recording of 10-bit H.265 video and the impressive ability to record up to 125 minutes of continuous 4K UHD video, without interruption. There are also some outstanding features carried over from the Z 9, such as the ability to precisely adjust ISO sensitivity in 1/6 EV increments and the useful display of a red frame during video shoots.

Outstanding performance thanks to cutting-edge technology

The Z f camera is powered by the advanced EXPEED 7 image processing engine, which, among other things, enables remarkable ISO sensitivity. In addition, the Z f has also been given the capabilities of the Z 8 camera to reliably recognize nine different subject types and enhance subject recognition and tracking performance. The camera is also supported by a highly effective internal image stabilizer and digital VR, both of which significantly enhance the quality of shots in dimly lit or dark indoor environments.

Tamron 28-75mm f2.8 Di III VXD G2 Nikon Z

The 28-75mm F2.8 G2 is a compact and easy-to-use lens with outstanding optical performance. It is specially designed for modern digital cameras with ever higher pixel resolution. The autofocus works with a VXD linear motor (Voice coil eXtreme torque Drive), which is fast, highly precise and quiet. The lens is also perfect for close-up photography and achieves a close focusing distance (MOD) of 0.18 m and a maximum magnification of 1:2.7 in the wide-angle range. In addition, the lens was designed with ease of use in mind, including a particularly scratch-resistant coating on the lens barrel and a rubberized focusing ring for a comfortable and secure grip. Tamron is regarded as a pioneer in the category of compact, fast standard Zoom lenses for mirrorless system cameras and, with the 28-75mm F2.8 G2 for Nikon Z mount to its portfolio with an ideal everyday lens for users of mirrorless Nikon

Best image quality in the standard Zoom lens class

The 28-75mm F2.8 G2 for Nikon Z uses the latest design know-how and has an optical design with 17 elements in 15 groups. Two optimally arranged LD (Low Dispersion) and GM (Glass Molded Aspherical) lens elements reduce optical aberrations to a minimum. The lens offers high resolution from edge to edge and corner to corner over the entire Zoom range, even with the aperture wide open. In addition, the soft, beautiful and rounded bokeh that can be achieved with a wide aperture lens adds a special dimension to portraits in particular. The overall compact size and high performance can be used to advantage with high-quality mirrorless cameras with very high resolution.

Fast, quiet VXD linear motor for high-precision autofocus

The AF drive system uses the VXD linear motor focusing mechanism from Tamron. The fast and high-precision autofocus is extremely responsive and offers reliable and precise focusing from the closest focusing distance to infinity despite the high speed of F2.8. The lens offers excellent focus tracking for moving objects, so that you are always ready for fast action.

In addition,

the focus motor is very quiet, making it ideal for photo and video shoots even in situations that require absolute silence.

Lightweight and compact

The 28-75mm F2.8 G2 is a fast standard zoom lens with a remarkably compact and lightweight design measuring just 119.8 mm in length. The maximum diameter is 75.8 mm and the weight is only 550 g. The filter size is 67 mm. With its handy size and low weight, the 28-75mm F2.8 G2 is ideal for longer hand-held shots and is sure to become your favorite zoom when traveling or for professional shoots in the studio.

MOD of 0.18m in the wide-angle range and a maximum magnification factor of 1:2.7 for creative close-ups

The 28-75mm F2.8 G2 has a close focusing distance of 0.18m. The distance to the subject is reduced to only approx. 4.4 cm when the close-up focusing distance is fully utilized. The maximum magnification of 1:2.7 makes it possible to get very close to the subject, as in macro photography, which creates a strong visual effect as the subject is positioned large in the image while the background remains widely visible.

The Tamron Lens Utility™ expands the possibilities of photo and video shooting

The 28-75mm F2.8 G2 is compatible with the Tamron Lens Utility software specially developed by Tamron, which allows the user to easily update the lens to the latest firmware without having to use the camera. By utilizing a variety of functions, users can enhance the expressiveness of their photos and videos. With A-B focus, for example, the user can program the focus to pre-selected points and switch from one subject to another with a click of the focus button. Users can also choose between linear and non-linear, which affects the way the focus moves during manual focusing

Improved lens design for user-friendly operation

Every part of the lens has been thought through down to the smallest detail. The result is an improved design that optimizes both operability and ergonomics. The outer surface of the lens barrel is glossy black. The improved abrasion resistance makes the lens barrel more scratch-resistant and less sensitive to fingerprints. The grip has also been improved.

The

gently curved, elegant surface of the branded ring provides a refined appearance with a design that stands for functional beauty and high quality
