NIKKOR Z DX 16-50mm f/3.5-6.3 VR

While its plastic feel doesn't lend an air of confidence, this lens more than makes up for it by its performance. It's sharp nearly edge to edge wide open. It focuses quickly. And it's quite reasonably priced. It's a wonderful lens for the Z fc, Z 5, and Z 50 owners.

Great overall picture quality with great sharpness and contrast. Great travel lens that is compact and light.

Very user friendly .
I love the VR.
Would recommend to anyone.

One of the best lenses I own. Clear images, light weight great for all around photography. The pancake feature is unique and useful.

Many larger lenses do not possess the quality of this little giant. Sharp color photos in bright sun or in low light.. No matter if you are shooting video or portaits you will get clean crisp pictures with this lens. Makes your camera very compact for travel. I use mine on the new Z50 and love every feature.

I use this lens with my Z6. The combination of this lens and camera give me a very lightweight and compact camera with excellent results. I was originally thinking about buying a new lightweight camera for street photography and walking around but this combo does it all. I highly recommend it.

Pro: Lightweight; Compact Size; Quiet; VR; Sharp on 16mm; Great for walking around.
Cons: No lenses hood; Slow; A little soft on 50mm.

Construction wise it seems cheaply made, however some plastics today are very tuff. Time will tell. Size is very unique and practical and makes it a great carry around lens. Sharp in good light but the 6.3 makes it poor for low light even though the Z50 body does very good at higher iso. All said for the money it´s a pretty good lens for a kit lens. Hope all future lenses don´t fall in. The f 4 and 6.3 , sort of negates the camera bodies gains in higher iso.

It seemed too compact to be true, but it´s very sharp and fast focusing. It´s like you´re just shooting with the body.
