About Nikon NIKKOR Z DX 16-50mm f/2.8
Discover a high-performance optically stabilized zoom lens for APS-C size/DX format.
With a focal length range equivalent to 24-75mm in full-frame, the NIKKOR Z DX 16-50mm f/2.8 VR is ideally suited to everything from landscapes and intimate interiors to distant details and closeups. The fast constant maximum aperture of f/2.8 unlocks new creative possibilities in low light, while delivering beautifully blurred backgrounds for impactful portraiture, closeups and more.
Bright f/2.8 constant aperture
Want to deliver clean and vivid indoor shots? The fast f/2.8 aperture stays bright across the zoom range no matter the lighting whether at night or in moody natural light. It permits the transmission of light to its lens, ideal for shooting in suboptimal conditions whilst not jeopardizing quality by creating soft background blur due to its faster shutter speeds to freeze motion.
Versatile zoom range
From the big landscape expanse (16mm) to small, detailed close-up portraits (50mm), this DX-format lens covers your everyday creative needs with ease. You don’t need to change lenses all the time. Perfect for travel, vlogging, and life on the move. This lets you carry one lens instead of several when travelling. It also spends less time switching lenses and more shooting time.
Beautiful backgrounds
The nine rounded aperture blades in the f/2.8 produces a smooth, creamy bokeh—the blurry background effect. It gives your images depth, dimension, and a truly professional finish with depth and warmth that are desired in exquisite photos.
Vibration Reduction stability
Shoot handheld with total confidence. The built-in Vibration Reduction (VR) is a tiny helper in the camera keeping the shot steady. The system provides image stabilization with its sensor counteracting minuscule, unnecessary movements in the camera.
Compact and lightweight
Like the size of a juice box, it fits in most bag pockets so you can take it anywhere! Furthermore, it is also light enough to carry in different shooting points with its 11.6 oz weight and 3.5 inches length. Perfectly balanced for DX-format Z cameras and designed for creators who never leave their gear behind, and shoot beautiful subjects and sceneries everywhere they go.
Precision and performance
Whether you’re photographing city lights, cozy interiors, or portraits in natural light, every detail comes through beautifully. Advanced Nikon optics ensure sharpness, contrast, and color accuracy from edge to edge.
