Nikon has expanded its NIKKOR Z DX-format lens lineup with two powerful, fast lenses: the NIKKOR Z DX 16-50mm f/2.8 VR zoom lens and the NIKKOR Z DX MC 35mm f/1.7 macro lens. Designed to inspire, these fast Z-mount lenses for the DX format deliver sharp, high-resolution images, beautiful bokeh, and excellent performance even in low light. They are ideal for both video and photography, and their lightweight, sealed construction makes them easy to carry.
This 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 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-up focusing capability adds further possibilities when composing shots.
The Nikon Z family is also expanding with the first macro lens for the DX format —the NIKKOR Z DX MC 35mm f/1.7. With an aperture of f/1.7, this macro lens offers a great opportunity to experiment with detailed photography, discover the beauty of bokeh, and create in low light. The maximum magnification of 0.67× (equivalent to 1:1 in 35 mm/FX format) allows you to capture details that are normally hidden from the eye, and the 35 mm focal length provides a natural angle of view and intuitive composition. In addition to macro photography, this lens is also a great choice for creative shots and videos of everyday life.
