Nikon NIKKOR Z DX 18-140mm VR | Compact all-in-one zoom lens for APS-C size/DX format Z series mirrorless cameras (wide angle to telephoto) | Nikon USA Model

I just made the change to mirrorless digital cameras and have been purchasing new lenses. The mirrorless lenses are excellent. I find them very sharp and clear. They capture beautiful images with impressive detail. To my eye, they out perform the DSLR lenses. They are considerably lighter and much simpler. The camera’s autofocus and image stabilization system works very well with the lens. I’m not a professional, but an enthusiastic amateur who’s been using Nikon cameras and lenses for 20+ years. I’m impressed and very satisfied with my latest additions.

I’ve found the F mount version to be a versatile lens, so when I bought the Z50 I added the FTZ adapter and figured I’d be set. And I was until I wanted to use on one of my DSLRs. In the end, it seemed worth adding the Z Mount version, and glad I did. It’s a great *little* lens. Well made. Perfect balance, feels natural to hand hold. Almost macro like close focus. Focusing is *much* faster than using FTZ adapted lenses. Sharp, clean images. I got an amazingly sharp, shake free image in near darkness, pushing the camera to 10,000 (!) ISO wide open at 1/10 sec. Well worth the price, and as a Prime member with a Prime VISA was able to buy at no interest with payments spread over time.

I bought my ZFC a few months ago, and have enjoyed it. Nice upgrade from my old DSLR's. I had the 16-50 kit lens, and bought the 24mm 1.7. I missed having some zoom so I looked at the 50-250, but realized I bounce between focal lengths so much when I shoot that I'd be constantly swapping. So I opted for this 18-140, and I'm really happy I did.Combined with the ZFC, this lens is a joy to use. It looks as good as the kit lens at the wide end, and at the long end the 6.3 is quite acceptable with the ZFC's better ISO capability. A professional might nitpick, but I'm not. It focuses fast, I find 140mm long enough for my purposes, and the lens is fairly small and light for what it is, a plus with the ZFC. It's been prettymuch glued to the camera since I got it. I'll keep the other lenses for when I want wider/better aperture, but this one is going to handle 90% of my shooting. If you're looking for that perfect DX travel/walk-around lens for your z-mount, this is it.

Overall, I like this lens. It offers better than average optical quality and a good zoom range for single lens use. While the optics are good, the lens does display some distortion, particularly at the widest zoom setting. The lens construction is plastic so it isn't heavy duty, but in my opinion, the lightweight construction is what makes it perfect for use with the Z50. After lugging around heavy cameras and lenses for years, I appreciate the photo quality I get from this lightweight camera system.

27-210mm full frame equivalent zoom range in a small package. Great versatility. Good value for your money if you have the Z DX system.

Nikon glass can be counted on to perform as advertised

Was looking for a light weight lens that covered a wide range of focal lengths for a trip to Israel and Jordan. This is sharper than my kit lenses and will allow me to travel lighter and not have to switch lenses in the desert. This pairs perfectly with my Nikon Zfc.

I really wanted to love this lens, but I was a little bit disappointed. The best part of this lens is its impressive zoom range, but other than that I would recommend the small 16 50 kit lens and if you need a telephoto the 50 250 is much better.If you’re looking for a super zoom I would instead go for the much much better 24 200 lens that is on sale right now.
