In-camera menus make a variety of options available, including control over aperture, exposure compensation and ISO setting.

An upside shared with other budget Z-mount lenses is that the control ring nominally used for manual focusing can be assigned to various other functions when in autofocus mode. You therefore need to resort to in-camera menus to make any changes, which can be relatively time-consuming and a bit of a bother. This time around, it’s an HB-101, which will set you back around £35/$40.Ī potential handling disappointment, compared with the older F-mount lens, is that auto/manual focus and VR on/off switches are omitted. As with the older lens, the petal-shaped hood is sold separately rather than being supplied in the box.

However, while the mounting plate is ‘only’ plastic, it’s robust and shouldn’t be a problem. Dust can be an issue as the Z 50 and Z fc lack an automatic in-camera sensor cleaning routine. The lack of a weather-seal gasket on the mounting plate, to guard against the ingress of water and dust is disappointing. However, while a couple of millimeters might not sound like much, the relatively tiny, retractable Z DX 16-50mm f/3.5-6.3 VR gives a noticeably wider maximum viewing angle, while the Z DX 50-250mm f/4.5-6.3 VR makes a comfortably small and lightweight addition when you need extra telephoto reach.Īlthough the lens is significantly more lightweight than the F-mount version, it feels pretty solid and well-built. That covers most bases for travel and everyday casual shooting, without the need to carry multiple lenses or swap between them.

Nikon Z DX 18-140mm f/3.5-6.3 VR at Amazon for £549Ī key feature for most casual shooters is the generous 7.8x zoom range, which stretches from a fairly wide-angle 18mm to useful 140mm telephoto reach, equivalent to 27-210mm in full-frame terms, thanks to the 1.5x crop factor of Nikon DX (APS-C) format cameras.

Minimum focusing distance: 0.2m to 0.4m.

Lens construction: 17 elements in 13 groups.

Nikon Z DX 18-140mm f/3.5-6.3 VR: Specifications Slimmer and shorter, the Z edition has a 62mm rather than 67mm filter attachment thread and a plastic rather than metal mounting plate, with no weather-seal gasket. It shares the same optical layout of 17 elements in 13 groups but doubles the aspherical and ED count to two of each. By contrast, the new Z DX edition for APS-C format mirrorless cameras like the Z 50 and Z fc is more compact and weighs in at just 315g, compared with 490g for the older lens.
