Nikon announced two new Nikkor DX mirrorless lenses: 16-50mm f/2.8 & 35mm f/1.7

The previously reported (first mentioned back in June) two new Nikkor DX mirrorless lenses are now officially announced. Pre-orders are now open at B&H Photo and Foto Erhardt (coming soon to WEX Photo). Here are the main features of both lenses: Nikon NIKKOR Z DX 16-50mm f/2.8 VR The fast constant maximum aperture of f/2.8 throughout the zoom range allows for large, natural bokeh and reduces the effects of camera shake when shooting in low-light conditions. Coverage for the 16 mm to 50 mm*1 wide-angle to mid-range of focal lengths supports a wide variety of scenes and subjects. A minimum focus distance of 0.15 m at the wide-angle end and 0.25 m at the telephoto end allows users to get extremely close to their subjects for dynamic shots. One ED glass and two aspherical lens elements effectively minimize various lens aberrations*2. Equipped with a lens-shift vibration reduction (VR) mechanism with camera-shake compensation equivalent to a 5.0-stop (at the center)*3 increase in shutter speed. A total length of approximately 88 mm and weight of approximately 330 g enables easy hand-held shooting. Adoption of a stepping motor (STM) realizes quiet autofocusing. Optimized for video recording with a design that suppresses focus breathing. Functions such as focus mode (M/A), aperture, exposure compensation, or ISO sensitivity can be assigned to the built-in control ring for a smooth operational feel. When recording video using the Z50II, Hi-Res Zoom*4 expands the zoom range to the equivalent of 16-100 mm (6.25x zoom) while still maintaining a constant maximum aperture...
