Nikon NIKKOR Z DX 50-250mm f/4.5-6.3 VR Lens
Compact Telephoto Zoom for Nikon Z-Mount DX Mirrorless – 75-375mm Full-Frame Equivalent Range, Built-In Vibration Reduction (VR) Image Stabilization (Up to 5.0 Stops), Stepping Motor (STM) AF System with Full-Time Manual Override, Internal Focusing (IF) Design, 1 Extra-Low Dispersion (ED) Element, Super Integrated Coating (SIC), Customizable Control Ring, Electromagnetic Diaphragm Mechanism, Rounded 7-Blade Diaphragm, Includes Front & Rear Lens Caps (Excellent Condition)

The Nikon NIKKOR Z DX 50-250mm f/4.5-6.3 VR is a sleek, lightweight telephoto zoom lens engineered specifically for DX-format Nikon Z-mount mirrorless cameras (providing a versatile 75-375mm full-frame equivalent focal range). Designed with a retractable barrel mechanism for compact travel, it delivers expansive telephoto reach for sports action, wildlife, travel landscapes, outdoor events, and flattering telephoto portraits with smooth background separation.

The optical formula features 16 elements in 12 groups, incorporating one Extra-Low Dispersion (ED) glass element to minimize chromatic aberrations, color fringing, and distortions across the entire zoom range. Nikon’s Super Integrated Coating (SIC) suppresses internal reflections, flare, and ghosting to maintain rich contrast and color accuracy in challenging backlit conditions. Handheld telephoto capture is supported by an integrated optical Vibration Reduction (VR) system offering up to 5.0 stops of shake compensation. Autofocus is driven by a high-speed stepping motor (STM) with an Internal Focusing (IF) system for fast, quiet, and precise focusing in both stills and video recording, complemented by a customizable control ring for quick assignment of manual focus, aperture, or exposure compensation.

CONDITION DIAGNOSTICS & PHYSICAL NOTES

Included Components: Supplied with the Nikon NIKKOR Z DX 50-250mm f/4.5-6.3 VR lens, Nikon LC-62B front snap-on lens cap, and Nikon LF-N1 rear Z-mount cap. (Dedicated lens hood included only if pictured/specified).
