Portraits, landscapes, street scenes, action, video. Shape your stories with the high-performance f/2.8 DX zoom lens that adds superb low-light capabilities, beautifully blurred bokeh, and action-freezing speed to your toolkit.
Fast, constant f/2.8 aperture
You can shoot at f/2.8 across the zoom range. Capture more detail at lower ISOs and use faster shutter speeds to freeze motion, even when the light is fading.
Versatile zoom range
The 16-50mm focal length range (equivalent to 24-75mm in 35mm/FX format) is great for everything from portraits to landscapes, street scenes, architecture, and more.
Big beautiful bokeh, crisply detailed scenes
High-performance rendering produces smooth background and foreground bokeh at f/2.8. Or you can stop down the aperture and increase the depth of field for images that are beautifully sharp from front to back.
Sharp close-up performance
The minimum focus distance is just 0.15m at 16mm, and 0.25m at 50mm. You’ll be able to get really close to a subject without sacrificing sharpness.
Powerful lens-shift Vibration Reduction
With up to 4.5 stops* of built-in VR image stabilisation, you can nail sharper handheld shots in low light and record clearer video footage.
Ready for video
Autofocus is fast and beautifully quiet. Focus breathing is reduced, and you can quietly adjust settings by assigning key functions to the silent control ring.
