DX-format Z-mount telephoto zoom
The Nikon NIKKOR Z DX 50-250mm f/4.5-6.3 VR is a compact telephoto zoom built for DX-format Nikon Z-mount mirrorless cameras. Its focal range of 50-250mm provides an equivalent field of view of 75-375mm, making it suitable for distant subjects such as sports or wildlife. The lens uses a stepping motor for fast, quiet autofocus performance. Vibration Reduction image stabilisation helps reduce camera shake at longer focal lengths.
VR stabilization and control ring
Vibration Reduction delivers up to 5 stops of shake correction, allowing sharper handheld shots at slower shutter speeds. One extra-low dispersion element reduces chromatic aberration and colour fringing for improved clarity. Super Integrated Coating minimises ghosting and flare in backlit conditions. A programmable control ring lets you adjust aperture, exposure compensation or ISO without removing your eye from the viewfinder. The rounded 7-blade diaphragm produces smooth background blur.
APS-C shooters needing reach
This lens suits photographers using DX-format Z-mount bodies who want a lightweight telephoto option for outdoor or event shooting. The variable maximum aperture of f/4.5-6.3 limits low-light capability and shallow depth-of-field control compared to constant-aperture alternatives. Buyers who need a wider maximum aperture for indoor sports or portrait work should look at other options. Full-frame Z-mount users will only access the DX crop mode with this lens.

Questions about this item
How often will the Vibration Reduction unit need servicing?
The built-in Vibration Reduction system has no user-serviceable parts and is designed to last the life of the lens under normal use.
What optical limit appears first when shooting at 250mm wide open?
At the long end the maximum aperture narrows to f/6.3, so diffraction and reduced light transmission become the limiting factors before the Extra-Low Dispersion element reaches its correction limit.
How much heat does the stepping motor generate during continuous all-day autofocus?
The stepping motor runs cool enough that the barrel stays near ambient temperature even during extended video or burst shooting sessions.
