Its 1:1 magnification at a 9.1-inch minimum focus distance pairs with a fast f/2.8 aperture and a 12-blade diaphragm for smooth bokeh. The 600g body, weather-sealed construction, and BBAR-G2 coatings make it practical for outdoor macro work. This lens is best for macro photographers who need a sharp, lightweight prime for detailed close-ups and portraits on Nikon Z bodies.
