Nikon NIKKOR Z DX 16-50mm f/2.8 VR

The NIKKOR Z DX 16–50mm f/2.8 VR lens is the first f/2.8 zoom lens for the DX format in the Nikon Z family—and it's a true all-rounder.

It offers excellent low-light performance, beautifully blurred bokeh, and the speed to easily capture action shots. Users can enjoy all the benefits of a fast lens with a constant f/2.8 aperture, while the 16–50 mm focal length range (equivalent to 24–75 mm in 35 mm/FX format) provides versatile coverage for a wide variety of situations.

Whether shooting photos or video, Nikon's powerful VR image stabilization helps keep images sharp even when shooting handheld in low light, while the close-focusing capability adds further possibilities when composing shots.

Versatile 16–50 mm focal length range

Equivalent to 24–75 mm in FX format. A great range for everything from portraits to landscapes, street scenes, architecture, and more.

High-quality image reproduction

Ensures smooth rendering of out-of-focus areas in the foreground and background at f/2.8. Or you can stop down and increase the depth of field for images that are beautifully sharp from foreground to background.

Very short focusing distance

0.15 m at a focal length of 16 mm and 0.25 m at a focal length of 50 mm. You can get really close to the subject without affecting the sharpness of the image.

Powerful optical vibration reduction

The effectiveness of up to 5 EV1 of built-in vibration reduction ensures sharper images when shooting in low light and more brilliant video footage.

Ready for video

Autofocus is fast and quiet, the lens design suppresses changes in focal length during refocusing, and the quiet command ring allows you to silently adjust key settings.

High-resolution zoom function

Extends the focal length of this lens by 2× without compromising image quality when shooting video. This gives you the equivalent of a focal length of up to 100mm without changing lenses.

Durability and light weight

Weighing only 330 g (approx.), it is dustproof and drip-proof.2

New HB-118 lens hood

Included with the lens. Minimizes stray light and reduces glare.
