The Nikon NIKKOR Z DX 16-50mm f/2.8 VR lens delivers a fast constant f/2.8 aperture across the zoom range, perfect for low-light shooting and beautiful bokeh. Use it for portraits, landscapes, and video with sharp close-up performance from just 0.15m.
Fast, constant f/2.8 aperture across the zoom range. Capture more detail at lower ISOs and use faster shutter speeds to freeze motion, even when the light is fading.
Versatile 16-50mm focal length range (equivalent to 24-75mm in 35mm/FX format) is great for portraits, landscapes, street scenes, architecture, and more.
High-performance rendering produces smooth background and foreground bokeh at f/2.8. Stop down for images that are beautifully sharp from front to back.
Minimum focus distance of 0.15m at 16mm and 0.25m at 50mm for sharp close-ups.
Up to 4.5 stops of built-in VR image stabilisation for sharper handheld shots in low light and clearer video footage.
Autofocus is fast and quiet. Focus breathing is reduced. Silent control ring for quiet setting adjustments.
Weighs just 330g (approx.) and has a dust- and drip-resistant build.
