Construction and features

A retractable pancake-style zoom that collapses to a minimal profile for transport and extends to operational length when the zoom ring is rotated. It features Nikon's Vibration Reduction optical stabilisation system and full electronic communication with Z mount bodies via gold-plated contacts. The 16mm wide end offers a 35mm equivalent of approximately 24mm on DX, making it versatile for landscapes, street photography, travel, and vlogging. Autofocus is driven by a stepping motor for smooth, quiet operation well suited to video use.

Compatibility

Compatible with all Nikon Z mount DX and FX bodies. On DX bodies (Z50, Zfc, Z30) it operates as intended across the full frame. On FX bodies (Z5 II, Z6 III, Z8, Z9) it will engage DX crop mode automatically. FTZ adapter not required.

Condition

The lens presents in excellent used condition. The barrel is clean with no visible marks or abrasion. Both front and rear lens elements appear clear and free of dust, haze, fungus, and scratches based on close-up photographs. Zoom and focus rings operate smoothly. No optical defects observed.
