I compare 5 of the most popular 40mm prime lenses for the Nikon Z mount, including the Voigtlander Septon 40mm f2, Nokton 40mm f1.2, Ultron 40mm f2, TTArtisan 40mm and Nikon 40mm f2

The Viltrox AF 35mm F1.8 EVO for Nikon Z is a small yet mighty prime punching well above its price point. Combining the sharpness and clarity of modern lenses with a busier, vintage bokeh style, this lens straddles eras and gives you a feature rich documentary lens that won’t break the bank.

The ArtraLab 35mm f/1.4 winds up being one of the most disappointing lenses I’ve ever used, leaning too hard into aesthetics while not focusing enough on the final image and user experience.

The Viltrox AF 28mm f/4.5 Chip lens is one of the smallest available for Nikon Z and costs less than $100…but is it worth carrying on a day to day basis? Come find out.

A look at the TTArtisan 75mm f1.5 M42 lens tested across full frame and medium frame cameras. One of the best value character lenses on the market!
