One of the most intriguing aspects of the Z DX 12-28mm PZ VR lens is its versatility. Designed with video in mind, this lens is also a formidable tool for still photography. Its minimum focusing distance of 0.19m across the entire zoom range means that maximum magnification is achievable even at the longer end of 28mm, perfect for capturing stunning close-up shots with remarkable detail. In fact, Nikon lenses are renowned for their superior close-up performance compared to Sony lenses, with the Z DX 12-28mm PZ VR lens boasting even better performance than the Sony telephoto lens with a shortest shooting distance of 0.20m at 20mm.

With an equivalent angle of view of approximately 40mm and a reasonable working distance, the Z DX 12-28mm PZ VR lens is incredibly user-friendly and easy to handle in various shooting situations.

It’s worth noting that the Z DX 12-28mm PZ VR lens is a zoom lens that’s highly conscious of video production. However, it’s important to keep in mind that the maximum aperture varies depending on the focal length, which may require some adjustments when shooting with manual exposure.
