Compact Powerhouse for Everyday Creativity
The Nikon Z DX 16-50mm f/2.8 VR Lens combines speed, precision, and portability in one sleek design. Tailored for Nikon’s Z DX-format mirrorless cameras, this standard zoom offers a 24–75mm equivalent focal range—perfect for capturing everything from sweeping landscapes and street scenes to portraits and tight details. With a bright, constant f/2.8 aperture, it’s ready to tackle low-light moments while producing stunning depth and bokeh that make your subjects truly stand out.
Brilliance in Every Frame
Whether you’re working under golden-hour light or the glow of city streets, the wide f/2.8 aperture ensures crisp clarity and smooth tonal transitions. Nikon’s optical Vibration Reduction (VR) provides up to five stops of image stabilization, keeping your handheld shots sharp even when the light gets dim. Inside, a sophisticated optical formula with ED and aspherical elements maintains color accuracy and edge-to-edge sharpness, delivering images that look as professional as they feel effortless to capture.
Made for Motion and Stillness
Videographers and hybrid creators will appreciate its smooth, quiet focusing and the customizable control ring that allows seamless adjustments to key settings like ISO, aperture, or focus. Focus breathing is effectively minimized, giving your footage a natural, cinematic look as you track subjects or shift focus mid-shot. Paired with Hi-Res Zoom compatibility on select Nikon Z cameras, you can extend your reach without ever swapping lenses.
Built to Go Anywhere
At just 11.6 ounces, this is Nikon’s most portable constant f/2.8 standard zoom to date. Its compact, dust- and drip-resistant design is made to keep up with you wherever your creativity leads—whether that’s a fast-paced street shoot or a quiet mountain sunrise. The included HB-118 petal hood provides extra protection and helps control flare in bright conditions, ensuring your shots stay clean and contrast-rich.
