I did not know what to expect when I got this with my Z 50. I wanted to move into mirrorless, and this is a great entry system for that. I am impressed with the sharpness and ease of operation of both the Z 50 and the 50-250mm lens. I use this as my "walking around" lens. I shoot a 200-500mm when I am at my shooting spots in the woods. I have shot everything from beavers to bumble bees with the 50-250mm, still and video, with great results.

The Nikkor Z DX 50-250 has become a go-to lens for me. Images are crisp, clear, and not prone to distortion anywhere. Despite being a kit lens, I would recommend it to anyone looking for a versatile, day-to-day lens. Eventually, I'd like to get something with a wider aperture for better shots in low-light situations, but for what it is, this lens is a winner

I will say this..this is not your typical "kit" lens..after seeing all the good reviews on this and the 16-50 lens, I figured I would give it a try..Nikon was a little late to the party, but they have at least caught up , if not surpassed the competition with the Z series..shocked and pleasantly surprised with this lens

Absolutely ESSENTIAL lens. On the Z50 it AND the 16-50 are awesome. The video on the Z50 is perfect, and the two kit lens are incredible. I use Tham more than my FLEET of other cameras! Nikon needs a Z70! But for right now the Z50 and these two lens are wonderful, sharp, and good stabilization, etc.! The 50-250 is THE zoom lens that gives this camera range. NOW Nikon needs to dod some longer modest price and size ZOOM lens

Very good lens and for the money it is WOW! Not only do I use it on the Z50 but also on the Z5 even though the file is smaller.. I like the weight, the focal lengths and most of all the sharpness and contrast.

Honestly, expectations were low since it was a kit lens, but this lens is amazing! It’s as sharp as a 70-200 lens and has super speedy autofocus. Totally worth it with the combo, and is very light to carry around for vacations.

Great lens. Sharp photos. Very fast auto focus. Highly recommend it. Only thing I don't like is that it does not come with a lens hood.

Excellent lens for a great camera. I use my D500 for sports, Z6 for everything else, and my Z50 with 50-250 when I want to travel light. The perfect trio for me. This 50-250 helps me make great pictures. What more is there to say?

Excellent quality, reasonable price, sharp. Great prosumer lens. Plastic construction and lens mount however build seems robust enough to take normal use in stride. VR works well. Not intended for low light use. However it works surprisingly well in difficult light. Exceeds my expectations!
