Full details

FAQs

Does this lens work on Nikon DX (crop) cameras?

Yes, it is fully compatible with DX cameras like the Z50 and ZFC, though the field of view will be equivalent to approximately 127mm.

Is this lens weather-sealed?

The lens features a robust build, but it is always recommended to avoid direct exposure to heavy rain or extreme moisture.

Can I use this lens for video?

Yes, the Hyper VCM motor is designed to be quiet and smooth, making it suitable for video recording.

What is the filter size for this lens?

Please check the lens barrel or front element ring, as the diameter is standard for this series to accommodate circular filters.

Does it support Nikon Eye-AF?

Troubleshooting

Ensure the camera firmware is updated to the latest version and verify the subject is within the lens's minimum focus distance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This lens is natively compatible with the entire Nikon Z-mount lineup, including the Z5, Z6 series, Z7 series, Z8, Z9, as well as the crop-sensor Z50 and ZFC. To set up, simply align the white index mark on the lens barrel with the camera mount and rotate clockwise until it clicks.
