The Nikkor Z 17-28mm f/2.8, a wide-angle zoom lens for Z-mount mirrorless cameras, could be a very useful and promising lens for underwater photography/videography. Zooming occurs internally, not altering the total physical length of the lens regardless of the focal length chosen.

The Z 17-28mm f/2.8 is able to focus as close as 7.56in (19cm), which is a notable improvement over older models in this series. The aperture of f/2.8 stays the same in all focal lengths, making it a promising fast lens—just in case you need to prepare yourself for the next Sardine Run.

The lens has a 67mm front filter thread and weighs approximately 450g.
