Often bundled in as part of a kit package with a Nikon DX mirrorless body and 16-50mm lens, the Nikkor Z DX 50-250mm f/4.5-6.3 VR gives scope to shoot lots of different subjects with your Nikon APS-C camera, including sports, wildlife, portraits, macro, landscapes and much more besides. On its own it has a retail price of £379, but we’ve found it for sale at under £300 in plenty of places. As part of a kit with DX cameras, it generally adds about £100-£150 to the overall price, depending on which model you choose.
As it’s to be used with a DX sensor, the equivalent focal length is 75-375mm, which is the longest available from Nikon’s line-up of Z-mount DX lenses. Longer lenses are available which are primarily designed for full-frame models, but most of those would undoubtedly be too big or heavy for most of Nikon’s APS-C models. They’re generally pretty expensive, too.
Cameras in Nikon’s DX range include the Z 50, Z fc and Z 30 –
