Description — Nikon 11-27.5mm f/3.5-5.6
The Nikon 1 NIKKOR 11-27.5mm f/3.5-5.6 is a zoom lens purpose-built for the CX Format Nikon 1 mirrorless system. Its focal length spans from 11mm at the wide end to 27.5mm at the telephoto end, placing it firmly in the wide-angle zoom category. The maximum aperture starts at f/3.5 and narrows to f/5.6 across the zoom range.
Weighing in at a remarkably light 83 grams, this lens keeps your kit compact and travel-ready. It attaches via the Nikon 1 mount and is compatible with Nikon 1 mirrorless bodies. Focus options include both autofocus and manual focus, providing flexibility for different shooting styles and subjects.
The filter thread measures 40.5mm, consistent with the lens's compact CX Format footprint. It is worth noting that image stabilization is not present in this lens, so optical steadiness is not a feature you can count on from the glass itself.
