Pros:Compact..... light..... strange size... but how do you get used to it... Very comfortable... price.. File quality
Cons:I can't find any... I like it very much. Don't have it
Opinion:Hi taken to flank the 24-120 f4..... Very compact and goes unnoticed.... precise.... Very nice the Boken and I don't find any flaws... I also bought the lens hood.... To be precise, 2...one fixed and one that can be put upside down... like the classic lens hoods..... but then the lens gets longer... even when closed... a few millimeters...... but in the bag it starts to be precise... and I take it off badly or slowly... so on the road I always find myself using it without a lens hood.... so I don't know if it's good to have them... Bought.... I still have doubts... the rigid one already resold with the 28....the other one I keep but with reserve I think that with the lens hood it loses one of the best qualities... i.e. compactness.and tropicalized and churns out beautiful files ..... if you are not a professional it has an excellent compromise between price quality Rated 9
Cons:everything else, especially the fact that they don't even give you a lens hood and case for about 250 euros
Opinion:As with the z 28 f.2.8 lens, my review is far from positive but better. Paid new Nital 249 euros, to the touch of a cheap plastic to be clear, nothing compared to the Z 35 and 50 (1.8) which I continue to think are of a very good quality. I took a few photos and they are of average quality, slightly below my expectations. On the positive side, as with all z series lenses, you have that you use the ftz adapter. If I think of a lens of this range, I am reminded of a nikon af-s 50 1.8 that new nital cost about 239 euros; The build quality is far superior to the Z 40. Also in this z, in the box there are the only and usual instructions in various languages (which for me could avoid putting and putting in nice qr code that if you want you can read them). Alas, there is neither the lens hood nor the case (okay, the bag of the z series is pitiful but at least put it on). Consciously bought to always have and lighten the backpack with a light focal length but with a discreet blur. The grade would have been higher, almost close to satisfactory, but the plasticity (especially) and the lack of lens hood and case had an impact. Rating 4-
Opinion:Taken to use it in situations where I have to shoot with the least volume of equipment on me (some holidays, street photography) and I want something even smaller than 50mm or 24mm, I found it impeccable for what it offers. I don't think it's as revolutionary as maybe the 50mm f/1.8 G was when it came out for F mount (which had a very similar launch price and size), but I struggle to find faults for the range of use it covers. If you have the same requirements as me I find it better than the 28mm (I have not tried the 26mm which however has another type of price). If you care more about the final bare and raw yield and you can sacrifice a little space and a little more money, the 50mm f/1.8 (Z) is obviously a whole other world.
Opinion:I had tried the 50mm 1.8 for Z, but I returned it, ok the PRO performance, but the price is definitely too high; For many, the photo is a hobby and we often have to settle for it if certain expenses are not possible in the family budget. Luckily I decided to try this 40mm f2 for Z: I was completely satisfied with the exceptional quality and yield of the shots. Considering the small size, as well as a negligible weight, this lens is now my favorite. I recommend everyone at least to try it.
Opinion:The 28 mm and 40 mm combination makes the high-performance Z6 and Z7 light and small. I also own 2.8 lenses but practically impossible to take on demanding trips for size and weight. The 40 mm is versatile suitable for night photos, street and the performance is excellent, especially considering the price. I also own the 50 mm 1.8 for Z but much heavier and bulkier (about double). An optics that can not miss in the kit and once used will hardly go in the bag.
