Expand your vision and bring your creative style to life with this incredibly portable, ultra-wide-angle zoom lens! From inspiring vlogs to short films and sharp snapshots – take your ideas wherever you want. Nikon Nikkor Z DX 67mm f/3.5-5.6 PZ VR, a flexible vlog lens for Nikon Z DX format, is also an ideal choice for photography.
























DYNAMIC 12-28MM ZOOM RANGE




With this versatile ultra-wide-angle zoom lens, you can effortlessly capture the entire scene or fit yourself into the frame. Shoot wide shots that will make viewers feel like they're really there, or create a sense of space when photographing in tight spaces. If you'd like unusual perspectives or more detail of the subject, the minimum focusing distance of just 0.19m ensures exceptionally sharp results as you get closer.








POWERFUL ZOOM




With the powerful zoom function, you can smoothly and evenly zoom in on the image without touching the lens. This is ideal if you're filming your vlogs or using a gimbal to capture video. Zoom in or out using the assignable buttons on the Nikon Z camera body. Or use the Nikon ML-L7 remote control or SnapBridge app to control zoom remotely.






CREATIVE ZOOM AT YOUR FINGERTIPS




Want to create atmosphere by slowly zooming in on an image or quickly zoom in on someone's reaction? Within 36 seconds, you can smoothly zoom in from ultra-wide to wide viewing angle. Or cover the same range quickly and powerfully with a half-second burst! You can choose from 11 settings, so you'll precisely control the desired zoom speed.






LIGHTWEIGHT AND WELL-BALANCED




When the zoom lens weighs just 205g and is so well-balanced, you can just pick it up and go. The compact and lightweight design of this lens doesn't physically lengthen or shorten as you focus or zoom, so the lens's center of gravity remains stable. Optimally balanced, whether you're shooting handheld or using a gimbal.








VIBRATION REDUCTION MAINTAINS STABILITY




If you're looking for a reliably performing vlogging lens, this wide-angle lens delivers. Vibration reduction up to 4.5 stops built into the lens ensures clear, blur-free shots, whether you're walking and talking or shooting handheld. Standard and sport VR modes on your Nikon Z camera optimize for static or active subjects. And if you want to shoot at high speed, VR won't reduce the maximum frame rate of the camera's series.








FAST AUTOFOCUS




In most situations, focusing is very fast. The lens accurately and without hesitation locks onto the desired subject, except when you try to focus too closely. It's also very good in low light, although it does slow down a bit when it's very dark. Another good news is that the focusing mechanism is impeccably quiet – even holding the camera right up to your ear in a quiet room, you hear nothing, so the chances of something being captured in a video are really slim. Speaking of video, focus transitions when recording are also very smooth. Although this isn't a lens that can boast an extremely shallow depth of field, it's still nice to be able to transition from one subject to another during the same session without any hunting or abrupt focus changes.
