Nikon Nikkor Z 17-28mm f2,8

The f/2.8 aperture lets me shoot handheld in dim cathedrals without bumping up ISO too much, and it’s noticeably sharper in the corners than my old wide zoom.

Was really impressed by how light this lens is for an f2.8 ultra-wide zoom, made hiking with my camera much less of a chore. The 17mm end is great for capturing wide landscapes without distorting faces when I include people in the shot.

Finally got to take this lens through the narrow streets of an old town, and the 17mm end makes even tight alleys feel spacious. The constant f2.8 aperture handled the mixed lighting beautifully without needing to switch lenses.
