Nikon NIKKOR Z DX 16-50mm f/2.8 VR Lens (Nikon Z)
Versatile focal length range is ideal for everything from landscapes and intimate interiors to distant details and closeups. The fast constant maximum aperture of f/2.8 unlocks new creative possibilities in low light, while delivering beautifully blurred backgrounds for impactful portraiture.
The NIKKOR zoom lens features a 9-blade rounded iris that produces natural, circular bokeh, while its minimum focusing distance of 5.9" at the wide end allows detailed close-up work. Vibration Reduction provides up to 4.5 stops of stabilization for sharper handheld shots, and the STM-driven autofocus system delivers fast, quiet performance suitable for both stills and video. A user-assignable control ring enables smooth adjustment of settings such as aperture, ISO, or exposure, while minimized focus breathing supports natural-looking video capture.
