Nikon\u2019s first macro lens for its DX-format Z-mount cameras fills a gap that\u2019s been sorely missing from the lineup. The NIKKOR Z DX MC 35mm f\/1.7 isn\u2019t a true 1:1 macro lens in the traditional sense, but for APS-C shooters looking to explore close-up photography without spending a fortune, it\u2019s remarkably capable. With an equivalent focal length of about 52.5mm on DX bodies, it doubles as a decent portrait lens and general-purpose prime, making it a versatile addition to any Z50, Z50 II, Zfc, or Z30 kit.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
