Nikon releases the NIKKOR Z DX 24mm f/1.7

Nikon Inc. announced the release of the NIKKOR Z DX 24mm f/1.7, a fast aperture and affordable compact prime lens for Nikon Z mount APS-C size/DX-format mirrorless cameras. The NIKKOR Z DX 24mm f/1.7 is the first prime APS-C size NIKKOR Z lens and gives a wide range of creators the benefits of a versatile angle of view and fast f/1.7 aperture for blurred backgrounds and amazing low light performance, the company said.

The new NIKKOR Z DX 24mm f/1.7 lens will be available in mid-June 2023 for a suggested retail price of $279.95.

The 7-inch (0.18m) minimum focus distance allows users to get close to subjects such as flowers and tabletop objects, for images that emphasize the subject with big background bokeh, the company said. The compact and lightweight design enables easy carrying, making it an ideal lens for everyday use.
