At a Glance

This standard zoom covers 27-53 mm full-frame equivalent on Nikon F-mount APS-C bodies. Its constant f/1.8 aperture across the whole zoom range allows short shutter times and shallow depth of field at every focal length. A magnification of 0.23x at 28 cm minimum focus distance adds some close-up ability. It suits everyday shooting, travel and events.
