Nikon has announced two new lenses. These fast lenses are designed for Nikon DX models with a Z mount. They are lightweight, compact and suitable for both photography and video.
The NIKKOR Z DX 16-50mm f/2,8 VR is the zoom lens for the DX format with an aperture of f/2,8 throughout the zoom range. It offers an angle of view equivalent to 24-75mm on FX format.
The lens can focus as close as 0.15 m at 16mm, and 0.25 m at a 50mm focal length. It has image stabilisation of up to 5 stops. Focusing is fast and quiet.
The lens weighs just 330 grams and offers protection against moisture and dust. The lens will be available from the end of October 2025 at a recommended retail price of 899 euros.
The second lens is the NIKKOR Z DX MC 35mm f/1,7 macro. The lens offers 0.67x magnification, which in practice corresponds to a 50mm angle of view and 1:1 magnification on FX format.
The minimum focusing distance is just 0.16 m. With its maximum aperture of f/1,7, it produces pleasant, round bokeh.
The lens weighs approximately 220 grams and is sealed against moisture and dust. This lens will be available from the end of October at a recommended retail price of 449 euros.

Verder wel aardig dat Nikon dit uitbrengt, maar voor mij overbodig, want spiegelreflex gaat bij mij nog jaren mee. -

0,15cm = 1.5mm Denk dat de eenheid hier niet correct is. Je bedoelt wellicht 0.15m of 15cm -
