One limit of this table: it lists only Nikon Z lenses that mount natively on the Nikon Zfc — lenses fitted through an adapter are not included here. See which mounts adapt to which.
What these focal lengths actually give you on the Nikon Zfc
The Nikon Zfc has an APS-C sensor, so it sees a 1.5× crop of what each lens projects. Every focal length below therefore frames 1.5× tighter than its marked number. That matters for portraits: an 85mm frames like 128mm on the Nikon Zfc, which is tight for head-and-shoulders in a small room. A 50mm gives you the classic 75mm portrait look instead.
