How far can optical performance evolve? Lenses take on the essential role of receiving information about subjects in the form of light. If the information transmitted by light can be conveyed to a camera’s image sensor in the purist possible form, could this be the next stage in the evolution of image expression? Based on this concept, Nikon’s new Z mount mirrorless camera system is designed to improve the optical performance of lenses by using a large-diameter mount and short flange focal distance.
The vast NIKKOR F lens lineup continues to shine brightly with Nikon mirrorless cameras Mount Adapter FTZ 4 The great potential of the latest mirrorless camera system, Nikon Z mount system, can be units have continuously focused on a great diversity of scenes and subjects. extended to NIKKOR F lenses with the Mount Adapter FTZ. Throughout the approx. 60 years The diversified image expression provided by the approx.

Nikon’s lens technology realizes new-dimensional optical performance The overwhelming optical performance achieved inherited from the NIKKOR concept with the dynamism of the with the new Nikon Z mount constantly advancing technologies. The newly adopted Nikon Z mount system features completely class model, Noct, is one of the results of these explorations.
Grading of NIKKOR Z lenses All NIKKOR Z lenses employ a large-diameter mount and integrate NIKKOR optical technologies, but the “S-Line” designation is used for a special class of high-performance lenses that comply with new, stricter standards of design principles and quality control.
Stricter standards of lens design and quality Nano Crystal Coat control Nikon’s original coating technology, Nano Crystal Coat, When evaluating optical performance with MTF curves, that is highly evaluated among professionals is employed for example, measurements are conducted in a wider in every S-Line lens.
Rich image experience is encapsulated within Nikon’s lens technologies Highly accurate AF that only Nikon can offer Considering a coming era of imaging devices with a higher Nikon’s genuine camera style that embodies the accumulation of its design know-how pixel count, higher frame rate and higher dynamic range, and It is essential that photographic equipment should be that “reality” is increasingly demanded for images, focusing ultimately refined tools that can function as if they are a part accurac
Design concept that stimulates shooting enjoyment Design concept that achieves integration of the lens and body 1 Silver-colored line 2 NIKKOR emblem 3 Inscribed letters 4 Paints and texture used for connecting parts are common to The silver-colored line is featured on the lens barrel of S-Line The NIKKOR emblem is employed on the lens barrel. For S-Line Focal length and maximum aperture are inscribed on the lens both lenses and the camera body.
S-Line: NIKKOR Z 58mm f/0.95 S Noct Uncompromising, unique and unprecedented optical performance New image expression enabled through the Superb point-image reproduction capability rendering capability achieved with f/0.95 that meets expectations for the name “Noct” The new Noct realizes the utmost optical performance, The Noct Nikkor name was derived from the word “Nocturne”.
S-Line: NIKKOR Z 58mm f/0.95 S Noct Premium styling appropriate for a highest-class lens is integrated with precision feel and superb operability To achieve an outstanding exterior design projecting a sense of high quality that is suitable for such a symbolic lens, a silver-colored line, lens information panel and inscription of the Noct name are featured on the lens barrel, and every exterior part is finished with metal cutting work.
S-Line: NIKKOR Z 14-30mm f/4 S Superior optical performance achieves exceptional rendering across the entire frame The NIKKOR Z 14-30mm f/4 S adopts four ED glass and four aspherical lens elements. It delivers the superior optical performance that only the S-Line lenses can offer, including superb resolution that brings out the full potential of high-pixel-count digital cameras, such as the Z 7 with 45.7 effective megapixels.
S-Line: NIKKOR Z 14-30mm f/4 S World’s first* filter-attachable ultra-wide-angle zoom lens covering a focal length from 14 mm The NIKKOR Z 14-30mm f/4 S covers a focal length from 14 mm to 30 mm, allowing it to deliver images with dynamic perspectives, as well as capture a broad range of scenes. With its small diameter and slim front lens element, it is the world’s first* wide-angle zoom lens with a focal length from 14 mm that is also filter-attachable.
S-Line: NIKKOR Z 24-70mm f/2.8 S Outstanding optical performance achieved with a fast zoom lens featuring f/2.8 maximum aperture The NIKKOR Z 24-70mm f/2.8 S, one of the high-performance S-Line models, is a fast standard zoom lens with f/2.8 maximum aperture covering the frequently used focal-length range from wide-angle 24 mm to 70 mm.
S-Line: NIKKOR Z 24-70mm f/2.8 S High-performance lens coating systems for effective ghost and flare reduction As well as Nano Crystal Coat, the lens also adopts the newly developed antireflection coating system, ARNEO Coat. This system is particularly effective for incident light reaching the lens surface from a vertical direction.
S-Line: NIKKOR Z 24-70mm f/4 S Superior optical performance optimized for high-megapixel digital cameras Employing one aspherical ED glass, one ED glass and three aspherical lens elements, outstanding optical performance is realized. Sharp resolution is retained even in the peripheral areas of the frame throughout the entire zoom range from the maximum aperture. Minimum focus distance of 0.
S-Line: NIKKOR Z 24-70mm f/4 S Achieving high optical performance in shooting and portability While maintaining the minimum required size to deliver an extremely high standard of optical performance, this lens provides outstanding portability. The easy-to-carry, approx. 500 g lightweight body employs a retractable lens mechanism that can be set on/off via zoom ring rotation without pressing a button, ensuring remarkable agility for faster shooting compared to conventional retractable-type lenses.
S-Line: NIKKOR Z 35mm f/1.8 S Superior rendering capability that overturns the perception of an f/1.8 lens Higher optical performance very different from conventional f/1.
S-Line: NIKKOR Z 35mm f/1.8 S Great movie recording performance realized by intensive consideration even for details Focus breathing (shifting of the angle of view when adjusting focus) is effectively compensated and various sounds (AF drive, diaphragm drive, control ring operation) are minimized. Also, smooth diaphragm control enables the recording of movies with natural transition of image brightness. In addition, smooth image expression is achieved with comfortable operation of the control ring.
S-Line : NIKKOR Z 50mm f/1.8 S Outstanding rendering realized with the new Z mount optical system that overturns perceptions about f/1.8 lenses Optical performance remarkably superior to that of conventional lenses is achieved by the lens arrangement made possible by the new Z lens mount. The lens construction of 12 elements in 9 groups including ED glasses and aspherical lenses provides evidence of a superb optical design that delivers uncompromising image quality.
