The Nikon DX 16–50mm Z lens is a lightweight, super-compact, fast-focusing wide-angle zoom that's designed for Nikon Z-series mirrorless cameras. It's perfect for travelling and landscape photography. Vibration Reduction (VR) lets you shoot at shutter speeds up to 4.5 stops slower than otherwise possible.

Wide-angle
The wide end of the zoom range is tailor-made for shooting in cramped spaces. A minimum focus distance of just 0.2 m lets you focus sharply on close-up details.

Bokeh
capture brilliant detail even when you shoot in low light. Bokeh is smooth, for beautifully blurred backgrounds.

Ideal for video
This lens lets you move from scene-setting wide shots to close-ups with ease. You’ll capture 4K footage that’s sharp and steady, even if you’re filming while walking.

Silent control ring
The silent control ring can be used for key functions including manual focus, aperture control (great for fading in or out during video recording), or exposure compensation.

Compact & lightweight
This DX mirrorless zoom weighs just 135 grams and is flat as a pancake when retracted. When you retract the lens, it locks in place so it won’t extend unexpectedly.

Be ready
The button-free retractable-lens mechanism is quick and easy to use. You simply extend or retract the lens by rotating the zoom ring.
