Nikon NIKKOR Z DX 16-50mm f/2.8 VR
Nikon NIKKOR Z DX 16-50mm f/2.8 VR
Push the boundaries of your creativity with the high-performance DX-format NIKKOR Z zoom lens with f/2.8 aperture, offering outstanding low-light capabilities, beautiful bokeh reproduction and the speed to freeze any action. This compact DX-format lens produces impressive out-of-focus spot brightness at f/2.8, and its versatile focal length range gives you plenty of ways to take advantage. Try taking a picture at a focal length of 50 mm with both the background and foreground out of focus: your subject will shine against the out-of-focus surroundings.
Key Features of the NIKKOR Z DX, 16-50 mm, f/2.8 VR

- Built-in VR optical stabilisation with up to 4.5 EV - enables sharper handheld shots even in low light
- Minimum focusing distance of just 0.15m (at 16mm) - allows for close-up photography and creative shots with a distinctive perspective
- Compact and lightweight design (330 g) - comfortable to wear and use frequently, ideal for travel
- ED and aspherical design - lower optical defects, high image quality and colour fidelity

- Dust- and splash-resistant and robust metal bayonet - promising ease of use even in harsh conditions
Versatile f/2.8 for portraits and landscapes
Shooting with the aperture fully open at f/2.8 is ideal if you want to achieve portraits with favourably soft skin tones. Or you can shade and increase the depth of field for perfectly sharp details in landscapes, cityscapes, architecture and more. Such a compact and versatile zoom lens with a high aperture provides many possibilities. The focal length range of 16-50mm (equivalent to 24-75mm for cinema film and FX format) provides plenty of room to play with the angles when capturing different scenes.
Professional sharpness at close range and in twilight
You can get really close to the subject without affecting the sharpness of the image. The shortest focusing distance is 0.15 m at a focal length of 16 mm and 0.25 m at a focal length of 50 mm. High-resolution optics combined with a fixed f/2.8 aperture make this lens a tireless professional tool. You'll be able to capture more detail at low ISO sensitivities and use faster shutter speeds to freeze motion even in diminishing light.
Lightweight, stable and always ready for action
Just put on the lens and go. With vibration reduction of up to 4.5 EV1, the image from this high aperture zoom lens remains stable at all times. You'll be able to take sharper handheld shots in low light and record more brilliant video footage when filming on foot. The NIKKOR Z DX 16-50mm f/2.8 VR is designed to inspire. Weighing just 330g (approximately), this lens is so comfortably light that you'll probably take it more places and use it more often than you'd expect. The fast stepping motor (STM) enables fast and almost silent autofocusing. It works brilliantly with your Z-series camera's subject detection, and the focusing sound won't mess up your footage.

At first, the company mainly produced lenses - telescopes, binoculars, microscopes and other small, optical equipment. Soon the company expanded its portfolio, producing photographic lenses under the Nikkor brand. In the field of cameras, particularly among professionals, Nikon quickly gained a reputation as a top manufacturer, which continues today. Its cameras were even included in the equipment of American spacecraft. Nikon designed and produced the legendary Nikon SP 1957, regarded by many as the best camera of all time.
