Let your creativity run wild with the high-performance f/2.8 DX zoom lens that adds superb low-light capabilities, beautifully blurred bokeh, and action-freezing speed to your toolkit.

Big beautiful bokeh at any focal length

This compact DX lens produces stunning bokeh at f/2.8, and the versatile zoom range gives you plenty of ways to use it. Try a 50mm shot with background and foreground bokeh: your subject will shine as the world around it melts away.

Softly rendered portraits. Crisply detailed scenes.

Shooting wide open at f/2.8 is great if you want portraits with flattering, softly rendered skin tones. Or stop down the aperture and increase the depth of field to nail crisply detailed shots of landscapes, street scenes, architecture, and more.

All-round wide-angle zoom lens

With a fast zoom lens this compact and versatile, you have choices. The 16-50mm focal length range (equivalent to 24-75mm in 35mm/FX format) gives you plenty of space to play with the angles as you capture diverse scenes.

Short minimum focus distance

You can get really close without sacrificing sharpness. Minimum focus is 0.15 m at 16mm, and 0.25 m at 50mm.

Superb low-light performance

Fast, bright f/2.8 aperture

High-resolution optics combine with the constant f/2.8 aperture to make this lens a tireless performer. You can capture more detail at lower ISOs and use faster shutter speeds to freeze motion, even when the light is fading.

Powerful lens-shift Vibration Reduction

Grab it and go. With up to 4.5 stops1 of VR image stabilisation, this fast zoom lens stays steady. You’ll be able to nail sharper handheld shots in low light and record clearer video footage when walking and filming.

Your agile creative partner

The NIKKOR Z DX 16-50mm f/2.8 VR is built to inspire. At just 330 g (approx.), this lens is so comfortably lightweight that you'll likely take it more places and shoot more often. You won’t think twice about keeping it on your Nikon Z camera as you walk around.

Ready for Z series video

A high-speed stepping motor (STM) enables rapid, almost silent autofocus. It performs brilliantly with your Z camera’s subject detection, and focusing sounds won’t ruin your footage.
