Product description
Nikon NIKKOR Z DX 50–250mm f/4.5–6.3 VR
The NIKKOR Z DX 50–250mm f/4.5–6.3 VR is a lightweight telephoto zoom for Nikon Z mirrorless cameras with a DX sensor. Its focal length range corresponds to 75–375 mm in 35 mm format, making it particularly suitable for travel, nature, wildlife and sports subjects as well as detailed shots from a greater distance.
Long telephoto range in a compact format
Thanks to the retractable barrel, the lens is easy to transport. At around 405 g, it remains pleasantly light. The zoom ring covers the range from 50 to 250 mm, while the freely assignable control ring can control focus, aperture, ISO sensitivity or exposure compensation, among other things, depending on the camera configuration.
Steady shots with optical VR
The built-in image stabiliser compensates for camera shake with an effect of up to 5.0 stops. This supports sharp handheld shots at long focal lengths and in low light. The stepping motor focuses quickly and quietly; reduced focus breathing and quiet operation are also advantageous for video recording.
Optical design and close-up range
The optical formula comprises 16 elements in 12 groups, including one ED glass element. The minimum focusing distance starts at 0.5 m at the 50 mm position and extends to 1.0 m at 250 mm. The maximum magnification is 0.23×. Seven rounded aperture blades support harmonious rendering of out-of-focus areas.
