Review Summary

Rated 5 out of 5

I bought this to use with a Z30 attached to a Peak designs capture clip on my backpack strap while ski touring and mountain biking. If purchasing a Z30 (or similar) the cost is so low to bundle in this lens, it's an incredible bargain. I also use a Sigma 56mm f/1.4 lens with the Z30, but this little lens is so good, and so unobtrusive, that I am only using the Sigma when I go out in low light. The image quality is remarkable, especially considering cost and size. The stabilization enables me to shoot stationary subjects hand held at 1/30. This is the perfect travel lens when paired with a smaller Z body. I am very, very impressed.

Light, Sharp, and Reasonably Priced

While its plastic feel doesn't lend an air of confidence, this lens more than makes up for it by its performance. It's sharp nearly edge to edge wide open. It focuses quickly. And it's quite reasonably priced. It's a wonderful lens for the Z fc, Z 5, and Z 50 owners.

Great kit lens for the Z50

The 16-50mm lens is very sharp for a kit lens. Focus is fast and VR works great on the Z50. I would recommend this lens for anyone who did not purchase this lens with as part of the kit when they bought the Z50.

excellent for $300 lens

Yes, it is only DX, mostly plastic and slow (3.5-6.3). However, It is extremely lightweight (130g) and have all that I usually need for video shooting on the go: good video compatible autofocus, vibration reduction. It is very sharp on open apertures. Very good companion for lightweight gimbal.

One of the best lenses I own. Clear images, light weight great for all around photography. The pancake feature is unique and useful.

pairs great with the Z50, but works well with the other Nikon Z cameras as well.

even though this is a great lens that i would recommend for purchase. the lens is a bit small for me since i am used to the size of the bigger lenses. at only 4.4oz this lens is very light. i used this lens with my Nikon Z7 for a short time. the lens is so light that you may not notice that they lens is attacked to the camera unless you are looking at or interacting with the lens in some way other than having the camera hanging around your neck with a neck-strap. for those who have smaller hands and/or is used to smaller camera lenses and owns the Z50, this lens is a must buy for use as a primary lens.

Great walk around lens

I use this lens with my Z6. The combination of this lens and camera give me a very lightweight and compact camera with excellent results. I was originally thinking about buying a new lightweight camera for street photography and walking around but this combo does it all. I highly recommend it.

Small but powerful!

Many larger lenses do not possess the quality of this little giant. Sharp color photos in bright sun or in low light.. No matter if you are shooting video or portaits you will get clean crisp pictures with this lens. Makes your camera very compact for travel. I use mine on the new Z50 and love every feature.

Good lens, great size

This lens is the only one I purchased for the Z50. The size is perfect for the Z50, but it's really too slow for low light photography. I have most of the other S-Line Z lenses for my Z6 and Z7 cameras. But those lenses defeat the purpose of having a compact camera like the Z50. I hope that Nikon produces some pancake-sized fast primes for the Z50, like a 35mm and 50mm equivalent at f/1.8 or faster. They would make the Z50 the ideal street photography and pocketable travel camera in the Nikon arsenal. In the mean time, this lens will have to do.

Excellent Lens Considering, size, price, and weight

I really like the new Nikon DX Z50 16-50mm for it's compact size and light weight. In the past I have had two Nikon DX cameras, a D3200 and a D5500. I liked the 3200 and loved the 5500. I had Nikon DX lenses for those bodies. Then I bought a full frame Nikon D750 and bought some FX lenses. A 24-120mm F4 and a 50mm F1.4. The FX lenses were bigger, heavier, and more expensive than the DX ones. I found the previous DX lenses great for casual photos but the FX lenses on the DX Body were sharper and just a step up from DX. This is exactly the same result I am getting with my Z50 when I use the DX Z lenses with it like the 16-50 and then try one of my full frame ZS lenses like my 24-70 or 50mm ZS. For almost all photos the 16-50 is great. But when you shoot landscape or macro where you need just the last once of detail I like the bigger much more expensive ZS lenses better. I have used the 16-50 in many family events and also some landscape and botanical shots. It absolutely should be bought if you get a Z50.

Z50 16-50 mm lens

Construction wise it seems cheaply made, however some plastics today are very tuff. Time will tell. Size is very unique and practical and makes it a great carry around lens. Sharp in good light but the 6.3 makes it poor for low light even though the Z50 body does very good at higher iso. All said for the money it’s a pretty good lens for a kit lens. Hope all future lenses don’t fall in. The f 4 and 6.3 , sort of negates the camera bodies gains in higher iso.

Fantastic small, light lens

I have really enjoyed this lens so far. It is small and light and hardly realize it is there on my Z6. I have used this lens to do a number of sunsets and have even had a couple of them shown on our local Television News Weather reports. This is a really fine lens and very complementary to my Z6.

It seemed too compact to be true, but it's very sharp and fast focusing. It's like you're just shooting with the body.

I recommend this lens on Z6 or Z7 for street photography!

Let your creativity soar with the ultra-compact NIKKOR Z DX 16-50mm f/3.5-6.3 VR lens, a remarkable innovation in Nikon's lineup and the smallest DX format lens they've ever crafted. Designed to deliver high-quality, vibrant imagery, this lens is the perfect companion for your Nikon Z series mirrorless camera, offering a versatile zoom range that's ideal for everything from expansive landscapes to intimate portraits.

Capture the essence of the streets, the grandeur of nature, or the subtleties of a candid moment with exceptional clarity and color fidelity. The NIKKOR Z DX 16-50mm f/3.5-6.3 VR lens boasts an Extra-low Dispersion (ED) glass element that significantly reduces chromatic aberrations and enhances contrast, ensuring your images are sharp and full of detail.

Experience the benefits of Vibration Reduction (VR) technology, which provides up to 4.5 stops of image stabilization. This feature is indispensable for maintaining sharpness in low-light conditions or when shooting handheld, giving you the freedom to explore longer exposures without the worry of camera shake.

For video enthusiasts, this lens is a game-changer. Its ability to suppress focus breathing makes your footage look professional by preventing the distracting changes in angle of view when focusing. The stepping motor ensures autofocus is not only blazing fast but also whisper-quiet, which, along with the virtually silent control ring, means your lens won't intrude on your audio capture during video recording.

The NIKKOR Z DX 16-50mm f/3.5-6.3 VR's intuitive control ring can be customized to your shooting preferences, whether you're adjusting aperture, ISO, exposure compensation, or opting for manual focus. This level of control, paired with the Z series' Eye AF, keeps your subject sharply in focus, even as they move through the frame.

This lens is not just about optical excellence; it's also about convenience. When not in use, it retracts to a remarkably slim profile for easy storage and transport. Plus, this bundle enhances your photography experience with essential accessories: a Bower 3-Piece 46mm Filter Kit to protect and enhance your images, a lens cleaner and cleaning kit for maintenance, and a universal lens cap tether to keep your lens cap close at hand.

The NIKKOR Z DX 16-50mm f/3.5-6.3 VR lens is a testament to Nikon's commitment to innovation, offering a seamless blend of high-quality optics, durability, and versatility. It stands at the forefront of the imaging revolution, optimized to harness the full potential of the Z system's larger mount and deliver edge-to-edge sharpness and illumination.

Whether you're a seasoned photographer or an enthusiast looking to expand your creative toolkit, this lens bundle is a reliable choice that promises to elevate your photography and videography to new heights.

Nikon NIKKOR Z DX 16-50mm VR Features

  • Custom control ring: Turn the ring on the lens to control focusing, aperture, ISO or exposure compensation
