Nikon has introduced two macro lenses for the Z series. They are the Nikkor Z MC 105mm f/2.8 VR S and the Nikkor Z MC 50mm f/2.8. Both are light and compact lenses for macro photographers.

Both lenses offer 1:1 magnification, showing the subject at life size. The 105mm macro is also ideal for portraits.

The maximum aperture of f/2.8 makes it possible to create a shallow depth of field. The 105mm macro also features vibration reduction (VR)

The 50mm macro allows you to get as close as 5.6 centimetres to your subject for 1:1 magnification. It is ideal for flowers and food photography. The standard focal length also makes it suitable for portraits and general photography.
