86.5 Macro Score
28mm f/2.8 Nikon Z IS Weather Sealed
Why we recommend this

Weighing just 156g and offering an f/2.8 aperture, this full-frame wide-angle prime uses two aspherical elements to maintain sharpness across the frame. The 0.19m minimum focus distance provides 1:5 macro reproduction, making it versatile for close-up work alongside street photography. It’s best for Nikon Z shooters needing a discreet everyday lens for macro and street scenes.

Nikon NIKKOR AF FX 20mm f/2.8D Fixed

70.1 Macro Score
20mm f/2.8 Nikon F (FX) IS
Why we recommend this

The 20mm f/2.8D delivers a 94-degree ultrawide view with edge-to-edge sharpness and Nikon’s Super Integrated Coating to suppress flare, all in a lightweight 162g build. Its Close Range Correction system enables distortion-free detail shots as close as 0.85 feet, adding uncommon close-focus versatility for a wide prime. This lens best suits architecture and real estate photographers who need a compact, fast ultrawide for interiors and detailed work, though landscape-specific scoring lags notably.

Nikon Speed Booster XL MB_SPNFG-M43-BM2

15.3 Macro Score
Nikon G
Why we recommend this

The Metabones Speed Booster XL 0.64x adapter concentrates full-frame Nikon G lens light onto Micro Four Thirds sensors, increasing brightness by over a stop while widening the angle of view. Its 50.9/100 portrait score reflects effective shallow depth-of-field results, despite lacking autofocus and stabilization. This adapter is best for portrait shooters adapting Nikon G glass to MFT, but its 15.3/100 macro score makes it unsuitable for close-up work.
