Your cart is empty.See the big picture with the smallest of lenses. The absolute smallest NIKKOR Z lens—the smallest DX format lens ever, in fact—the NIKKOR Z DX 16-50mm f/3. 5-6. 3 VR covers the sweet spot of the zoom range, letting you capture street scenes and landscapes as easily as portraits and close-ups. It has powerful Vibration Reduction (VR) image stabilization to keep your videos steady and your photos sharp. It focuses quickly and silently and surprises focus breathing—ideal for recording videos and high-speed action. And when not in use, it retracts into itself for a compact profile and added protection.

would not recommend this lens way over priced for the quality , you can get a all metal lens for few dollors more. Its slow and the built quality is not of what Nikon is famed for

Purchased this for my spouse because she is taking ownership of the Nikon Z50 camera because she loves to take images of flowers and has small hands. This little lens is light, compact, and ready to go without having to attach the FTZ II to the camera. I want to get her another lens to give her some variety. Not really crazy about the amount of plastic involved in the construction as I am an old school photographer used to carrying big glass and tons of added weight. This is good and suites the wife. Recommended.

I take a lot of scenic photos so the wide angle is great. I also like to occasionally do close up shots on flowers, bugs, etc. and the close working distance makes this lens a great choice too. I also love the the compact size and light weight, perfect for walks in the woods.

Nikkor has made a pretty terrific lens here that look’s the part on my Nikon. ZFc camera.Better yet is the incredible sharpness and precision that this lens provides. It’s got great versatility given the zoom capabilities. Indoor or outdoors, I highly recommend this little treasure!!

A great all purpose lens which compliments my Z 28 mm lens. With this lens I can take beautiful pictures without carrying a camera bag full of accessories.As an unexpected benefit, both Nikkor Z lenses take wonderful indoor pictures without a flash.

i got a base and needed a lense on the fly. Does good for basic photography. the 16 is great and used the most by me. I do landscape. If you need zooming I would look at a higher end model but this will get you out in the fields.

It's a good lens, good balance for every situation. Not the best in the dark, but certainly not bad at all.

Bought this to mount on a Z-7 for times when I want the camera to be as small as possible and don't care that it's a DX format lens. At 16mm (24mm full frame) the optics and size are GREAT! The Z-7 automatically recognizes it as DX and uses partial sensor for ~20MP images. Color, saturation, sharpness, AF speed, size, weight, all A+ for the money. It's a bit softer toward the long end (70mm FF), but until there's a Native Z-mount full frame pancake, this is your ticket when u need stealth.

This lens is very "petite" - perfect for the Z50 and travel. It will almost fit in my pocket!

This lens is lightweight and almost invisible on my Z7. On the Z7 is acts as a 24-70mm lens. Certainly not as fast and sharp as the 24-70mm f/2.8 s lens but is adequate for 85% of my shots. I've also used in videoing and it does well.

I've taken at least half of my current review photos and videos with my new Nikkor Z 16-50mm lens and have had no issues with it. A nice lens addition to your Nikon Z Camera and it fits without an adapter. Priced OK, i see myself using it quite often.
