Nikon Nikkor Z DX 16-50mm f/3.5-6.3 VR Lens SL

Despite being the smallest DX format lens around, the Nikon Nikkor Z DX 16-50mm f/3.5-6.3 VR Lens SL is something that you can't belittle. This high-resolution lens maintains image sharpness and colour accuracy throughout the entire frame with the help of its aspherical and extra-low dispersion lens elements. This portable lens is easy-to-carry anywhere which makes you ready to take those perfect photographs.

You can depend on its stability whether youre taking videos or streaming online due to its built-in VR image stabilization. It can also adjust to the shot needed, whether its wide-angle or close thanks to its stepping motor that makes it compatible with the Eye Detection AF function of Nikon mirrorless cameras. Assigning quick settings is possible through the control ring, while the rounded diaphragm blades provide stunning background blurs.

All these functions are housed in a classic silver edition finish that suits the nostalgic look of the Nikon Z fc. Whether for wide, close-up, landscape, or everyday shots, this Nikon lens will get the job done.

Product Features in Detail

Extra-Low Dispersion Glass
An optical glass developed by Nikon that is used with normal optical glass in telephoto lenses to obtain optimum correction of chromatic aberrations.

Aspherical Lens
A lens with a curved, non-spherical surface. Used to reduce aberrations and enable a more compact lens size. Aspherical lenses minimize coma and other types of lens aberrations, even when used at the widest aperture. They are particularly useful in correcting distortion in wide-angle lenses and help contribute to a lighter, more compact design by reducing the number of standard (spherical) elements necessary. Aspherical lens elements correct these distortions by continuously changing the refractive index from the center of the lens.

Electromagnetic Diaphragm Mechanism
An electromagnetic diaphragm mechanism in the lens barrel provides highly accurate electronic diaphragm or aperture blade control when using auto exposure during continuous shooting.

IF Lens
A NIKKOR lens in which only the internal lens group shifts during focusing. Thus, IF NIKKORS do not change in size during AF operation, allowing for compact, lightweight lenses capable of closer focusing distances. These lenses will be designated with the abbreviation IF on the lens barrel.

Stepping Motor
NIKKOR Z lenses use a stepping motor for fast, accurate, smooth, quiet autofocus with reduced wobbling. This quiet drive system makes the lenses ideal for use when shooting video.

Vibration Reduction
A Nikon in-lens technology that improves image stability by automatically compensating for camera shake. Lenses that offer VR will feature the abbreviation VR on the lens barrel.

Super Integrated Coating
Nikon Super Integrated Coating is Nikon's term for its multilayer coating of the optical elements in NIKKOR lenses.
