Nikon Nikkor Z DX 16-50mm f2.8

Beautiful bokeh at any focal length

This compact DX lens produces impressive bokeh at f2.8. The versatile Zoom range offers many possibilities. Take a photo with 50 mm focal length and bokeh in the background and foreground: the subject will shine while the world around it disappears.

Softly drawn portraits

.

Razor sharp scenes.

f2.8 aperture is great for portraits with flattering, soft skin tones. A smaller aperture and greater depth of field are ideal for razor-sharp landscapes, street scenes, architecture and much more.

All-round wide-angle zoom

With such a compact, versatile and fast Zoom lens, you have plenty of options. The focal length range of 16 to 50 mm (equivalent to 24 to 75 mm in 35 mm/FX format) offers plenty of scope for different viewing angles and subjects.

Short focusing distance

Get up close without sacrificing sharpness. The closest focusing distance is 15 cm at 16 mm and 25 cm at 50 mm.

Outstanding low-light performance

High speed of f/2.8

The high-resolution optics combined with the continuous speed of f/2.8 make this lens a tireless performer. You can capture more detail at lower ISO values and freeze motion with faster shutter speeds, even when the light gets weaker

. Powerful image stabilizer (VR) with moving lens group

Pack it up and go. With image stabilization of up to 4.5 f-stops*, this fast Zoom lens stays steady. You can take sharper handheld photos in low light and record clearer videos on the move.

A flexible partner for creatives

The NIKKOR Z DX 16-50mm f2.8 VR inspires. At just 330g, this lens is so comfortable and lightweight that you’ll probably take it with you more often. Clearly, once it’s on your Nikon Z camera, it stays on for the rest of the trip.

Ready for video with the Z series

Autofocus, fast and quiet

A high-speed stepping motor (STM) enables fast, virtually silent autofocus. It works perfectly with the subject perception of the Z cameras, without disturbing focusing noise in the shot.

Reduced Focus Breathing

Ready for focus pulls? Focus Breathing is suppressed so that the focus can be shifted smoothly from the foreground to the background – without any disturbing changes in the angle of view.

Hi-Res Zoom

When shooting video, you can use the Hi-Res Zoom to extend the focal length range by twice as much without any loss of quality. Up to 100 mm without changing the lens.

Silent adjustment ring

Adjust settings silently by assigning important functions to the adjustment ring. Easily switch to manual focus or achieve a natural change in brightness by precisely adjusting the aperture

*Measured according to CIPA standards when the lens is used with a DX camera and the camera’s VR mode is set to [Normal]. According to CIPA standards, measured at maximum telephoto setting.
