Nikon has rounded out its APS-C Z-mount lineup with two practical lenses aimed at creators who want more speed and steadier handheld footage: the NIKKOR Z DX 16-50mm f/2.8 VR standard zoom and the NIKKOR Z DX 35mm f/1.7 prime. Both are available to preorder, with shipping currently listed for October 30. The new Nikon NIKKOR Z DX 16–50mm gives DX users a constant f/2.8 aperture across a 24–75mm full-frame equivalent field of view, while adding in-lens stabilization and a 9-blade iris, two quality-of-life updates for both video and stills. The 35mm arrives as a fast, lightweight everyday prime with close-focus capability and quiet STM autofocus. Nikon NIKKOR Z DX 16–50mm f/2.8 VR: constant-aperture standard zoom for DX Covering 16–50mm on DX bodies, this lens delivers a 24–75mm equivalent range with a constant f/2.8, useful when you need consistent exposure and depth control while zooming. Nikon rates the built-in Vibration Reduction at up to 4.5 stops, and the rounded 9-blade diaphragm aims for more natural, circular bokeh compared to previous DX zooms. Focus breathing is minimized, and autofocus is driven by a quiet stepping motor, making it suitable for gimbal and on-camera work. Nikon NIKKOR Z DX 16–50mm f/2.8 VR in use.
