Constant aperture across the zoom range

The Nikon Z 16-50mm f2.8 DX VR Lens is designed for photographers who demand consistent image quality across a wide range of subjects. Its f2.8 aperture is fixed throughout the 16-50mm focal range, maintaining consistent exposure and depth of field as you zoom. This bright aperture enables faster shutter speeds and captures more detail at lower ISOs, allowing you to capture sharp images even in low-light conditions. Whether you’re freezing motion or creating portraits with softly rendered skin tones, it delivers control and reliability for every frame.

Advanced optical design for high resolution

The Nikon Z 16-50mm f2.8 DX VR lens combines advanced optical construction with precise glass elements to maintain edge-to-edge sharpness. The lens features 12 elements in 11 groups, including 1 ED and 2 aspherical elements to correct colour fringing, aberration, and distortion. The lens also excels when you want to move in close and reveal fine detail. With a minimum focus distance of just 0.15 m at the wide end and 0.25 m at the telephoto end, it lets you fill the frame with texture, colour, and intricate detail without losing sharpness, making the lens equally effective for capturing food, products, or everyday moments with a refined level of precision.

Sharp AF and VR image stabilisation for hybrid capture

With fast, accurate autofocus and robust image stabilisation, the Nikon Z 16-50mm f2.8 DX VR supports smooth, sharp stills and video. A high-speed stepping motor (STM) ensures precise, rapid, and nearly silent autofocus, providing sharp results and eliminating focusing sounds that can ruin footage. The lens will also perform well with subject detection on Z-mount cameras. Reduced focus breathing ensures focus transitions appear natural, keeping your footage stable and professional-looking. Up to 4.5 stops of Vibration Reduction (VR) compensates for handheld movement, helping you achieve crisp results in fading light.

Compact and durable for handheld operation

The Nikon Z 16-50mm f2.8 DX VR Lens is a high-performance lens that is lightweight enough for comfortable handheld shooting. Weighing just 330g, the lens is ideal for photographers seeking performance without bulk for everyday capture. It features a durable metallic mount for a secure connection with compatible Nikon Z-mount cameras, while its dust- and drip-resistant construction allows you to shoot confidently outdoors.
