NIKKOR Z DX 16‑50mm f/2.8 VR **PRE-ORDER NOW**

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.

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.
