The quality you want
Everywhere you go—anything you do. This powerful zoom lens captures stunning images full of colour, depth, and detail. Sharpness is incredible all the way to the edge of the frame, even when shooting up close or at wide angles. Bokeh is smooth and creamy. Autofocus is fast and performs brilliantly with your Z camera’s Eye-Detection AF to keep focus right where you want it.
Your video travel buddy
Wide city streets. Close-ups on distant faces. The details on that sculpture. With this lens on your Nikon Z DX mirrorless camera, you’ve got all the angles covered when shooting video. Focusing is smooth, precise, silent—and you’ll maintain your point of focus even when zooming. Changes in light are captured smoothly for beautifully natural-looking footage.
Move closer
Metropolis or wilderness, an incredible minimum focus distance of just 0.20 m at wide focal lengths lets you shoot close subjects in big backgrounds. A 0.40 m minimum focus distance at max zoom frees you to frame fascinating portraits.
Easy control
Video or stills, customise control and put your favourite settings right at your fingertips. You can assign ISO, aperture, exposure compensation, or manual focus to the knurled control ring—which moves smoothly, quietly, and precisely.
