The Nikon DX 50–250mm is a compact, fast-focusing 5x zoom lens that offers more reach than most. Perfect for travel, it’s a great all-round performer that delivers beautifully sharp photos and movies. In-lens Vibration Reduction lets you shoot at shutter speeds up to 5 stops slower than otherwise possible.

Portraits
You can capture portraits with smooth bokeh from a distance, even in low light. A minimum focus distance of just 0.5 m lets you focus sharply on subjects that are closer.

Movies
Whether you’re setting the scene or zooming in on distant skylines, this lens focuses smoothly and quietly. You get 4K video footage that’s sharp and steady, even if you film 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.

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.

Compact & Lightweight
This DX mirrorless telephoto zoom is super-compact when retracted. When you retract the lens, it locks in place so it won’t slip and extend while it’s in your bag.
