Compact and versatile, the Nikon NIKKOR Z DX 16-50mm f/3.5-6.3 VR Silver Lensis a 24-75mm-equivalent zoom designed for DX-format Z-mount mirrorless cameras. Covering a wide-angle to portrait-length zoom range, this lens is well-suited to everyday shooting situations. Its optical design incorporates aspherical and extra-low dispersion elements, which help to reduce a variety of aberrations for sharper, clearer image quality throughout the zoom range. A Super Integrated Coating has also been applied to minimize ghosting and flare for increased contrast and color accuracy in bright and backlit conditions.

The lens's flexible focal length range is complemented by Vibration Reduction image stabilization, which minimizes the appearance of camera shake by up to 4.5 stops for sharper handheld shooting. A stepping motor provides quick, quiet, and precise autofocus performance along with full-time manual focus override to suit both stills and video applications. Also, a programmable control ring can be set for intuitive adjustment over a variety of camera and exposure settings.

Standard zoom is designed for DX-format Nikon Z-mount mirrorless cameras and provides a 24-75mm equivalent focal length range.

One extra-low dispersion element reduces color fringing and chromatic aberrations for improved clarity and color accuracy.

Four aspherical elements minimize spherical aberrations and distortion throughout the zoom range for greater sharpness and accurate rendering.

Super Integrated Coating suppresses flare and ghosting for improved contrast and color fidelity when working in strong lighting conditions.

Stepping motor delivers impressively smooth, quiet, and fast autofocus performance that is well-suited to both stills and video applications. Full-time manual focus override is also possible and an internal focusing design is used, where only the internal lens groups are moved during focusing, to maintain the overall length of the lens during use and to promote faster focusing speeds.

Vibration Reduction image stabilization minimizes the appearance of camera shake by up to 4.5 stops for sharper handheld shooting.

Programmable Control Ring is, by default, set to adjust manual focus but can also be used to control aperture or exposure compensation.

Specialized electromagnetic aperture mechanism provides greater exposure control stability that is especially beneficial when working with fast continuous shooting rates.

Rounded seven-blade diaphragm promotes a pleasing out of focus quality that benefits the use of shallow depth of field techniques.

Q: 1. Is there any fall out issues with the NIKKOR 18-300mm?

A: It is a very good lens. We have had a very good experience taking excellent long distance photographs with this lens. We now own two of them, having replaced a less expensive, similar lens for a second camera with the Nikkor 18-300 mm lens. It is heavier than other brand similar lenses and you may need a tripod at times.

Q: 2. Does it compatible with D610?

A: The lens will function on the D610 BUT, it is a DX lens. On the D610 (FX), it will display a cropped image and will, according to experts, be of lower resolution than an FX lens.

Q: 4. Hi,is this lens creep?

A: I haven't noticed. Great lens

Q: 5. Is this lens compatible with the Nikon F-100?

A: No, it is not. The Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-300mm f/3.5-6.3G ED VR Lens is designed for use with Nikon DSLR cameras that use the smaller APS-C digital sensor. The Nikon F-100 35mm Film SLR camera is a film camera that uses full-frame 35mm film. Nikon DX lenses are not compatible for use with Nikon's 35mm film SLR cameras, and should not be used. The smaller imaging circle of the lens would not fully cover the larger 35mm film, and as such, there would be a large, dark circular vignette area on the negative where the smaller imaging circle on the DX lens blocks light from exposing the outer edge of your film. You also do not want to run the chance of damaging either the lens, the internal reflexing mirror, or both when attempting to use a DX lens on the 35mm film SLR camera.

Q: 6. hello, Will this lens work on a D7500?.. thank you

A: Yes, it will work very well on the D7500.

Q: 8. D5100 compatible?

A: Yes. This lens is compatible with all APS-C (DX) format cameras including the Nikon D5100.

Q: 9. Can this lens be used on the Z6 or Z7? Perhaps set to DX image area?

A: Yes, you can use this on a Z6 or Z7 but in crop mode and 40% resolution.

Q: 10. If I pair this lens with the D7200 will be work for action pics?

A: You could use it for action shots but as an all in one lens with a slow aperture, it would not be ideal. A telephoto lens that starts at 70mm or so would be better, like a Nikon 70-300mm.
