Photos or movies, this NIKKOR Z lens excels in the moment. In-lens Vibration Reduction lets you shoot at shutter speeds up to 5 stops slower than otherwise possible.¹ You can capture clearer photos as daylight fades, or film without the unwanted effects of camera shake. Focusing is fast and virtually silent.
The silent control ring can be used for key functions including manual focus, aperture control (great for fading in or out during video recording), or exposure compensation.
Never miss a shooting opportunity. The button-free retractable-lens mechanism is quick and easy to use. You simply extend or retract the lens by rotating the zoom ring.
This DX mirrorless telephoto zoom is super-compact when retracted. When you retract the lens, it locks in place so it won’t slip and extend while it’s in your bag.
