    • Excellent power zoom lens at a bargain price!
Excellent lens at any price, but particularly for the $350 I paid for it. Image quality is excellent both for resolution and color. All distortions are corrected in camera by my Z50ii, so the end results show literally...no distortion! Focus speed is fast. The power zoon control is a game changer for us amateurs trying to produce pro video results. VR is great, and along with electronic image stabilization eliminates the need for a stabilizing gimbal in all but the most extreme vid scenes. For stills, the 12mm wide end is fantastic for landscapes and room interiors, while the 28mm end gets you a 42mm equivalent 35mm format view on an apsc camera. Build quality is great for the price point (yes, it is mostly plastic). The power zoom brings results unexpected at this price point. All in all a useful, light and high performance product. ... show more

    • The widest, affordable Nikkor zoom
Review Image by Rubicon crossing
I've long been an amateur photographer, having started with a 35 mm film Nikon FTN. So, there has been a learning curve to change to digital. Recently, I took the plunge to purchase a Nikon Z50ii with both kit lenses. It meets my needs and I like it, but I'm gradually upgrading my lenses to a moderately long zoom telephoto, a 105 mm macro, and now this 12-28 mm zoom (to replace the kit, 16-50 mm zoom). Although the 16-50 is quite small, light and satisfactory to me, the thought that for a modest price I could get even wider attracted me to this lens. In the attached photo, you can see a comparison of the field of view about 10 ft across a room from the same position. For scene shots of tall trees when it isn't possible to move backwards (e.g., in tropical forests), the expanded field of view is worthwhile to me. Otherwise, like all Nikkor lenses, the lens is solid and well-made (although involving "plastics"). The length of the lens doesn't change with focal length, and the motorized change of focal length is very smooth (desirable for video zooming). I'm used to seeing numbers for focal length on the lens barrel, but one must look at the camera display if one needs to know that. After about a month of use so far, this widest-angle zoom seems well worth its price to me. ... show more

    • Versatile, sharp wide angle lens for Z series cameras!
Excellent lens for photographing canyons, cliffs, mountains and will even focus down to 11 inches for a semi-macro feature. I did not set it up to use the electronic zoom as it will drain the batteries faster. Sharp, clear images at all focal settings. A great bargain for the Nikon Z 50II !

    • Great value and lens

I bought this compact lens just prior to taking a northern lights tour in Alaska. It worked terrific. I used it every night in temperatures ranging from -32F to -10F--brrrr. The lens performed fabulously although the camera (Nikon Z50) electronics struggled with the low temps. The lens is not super fast but I liked the light weight and compact size and the price was quite acceptable. Besides, the exposure times were in the seconds, so a faster lens wouldn't have made too much of a difference. Most of the time I shot with the lens at full wide angle (12mm) but it was nice having some zoom range. Color and sharpness of images were excellent (see examples). ... show more

    • Great lens and love the power zoom
I should not like this lens so much but I do. Solid, sharp, great wide angle walk around lens in good lighting, and honestly would love to see more power zoom lens options for that power zoom is great for my purposes.

    • No lens hood
Lens is great but did not come with a lens hood. Not sure if it was a mistake or not but definitely be aware.

    • Light, Compact, And Excellent Image Quality
I have this paired with a Z5. I don't mind losing the pixels to the dx format because I don't need large images, and in fact I appreciate the smaller file size. I love the light weight and small size. Zoom ring is super smooth. I had been using a Canon 10-22 with an adapter - a known good lens, but the IQ of this lens is better. I miss the few mm on the wide end, but really like the extra reach on the long end. A favorably trade-off. One of the reasons I wanted this lens was the in-camera distortion correction. It works very well but not all apps open the RAW files with the corrections applied. Photoshop Elements 2024 (PSE) does open with corrections, but I tried several other consumer grade editing apps that don't, revealing the ample distortion, particularly on the wide end. I use some of these apps so I am batch converting the NEF files to TIFF using PSE, which preserves the corrections, and then edit in the other apps. Windows 10 default viewer also does not display the correction. The free IrfanView for Windows does display NEF with correction. Correction is also applied to videos. ... show more

    • Double check compatibility
The lens appears to be a good lens, but it didn't fit my camera even though I searched for the exact model of camera.
