Pros: It is sharp with every focal length and aperture, very light and very small, a real multipurpose pancake. It works well with my Z30's autofocus, so I imagine even better with higher cameras. Stabilization not up to that of a sensor but good, to the eye 3-4 stops guarantees them, it's not bad. It is a very rare example of decent optics offered in kit form.

Cons: No tropicalization, plastic graft. The mechanical activation click is inconvenient. Not very bright even in relation to the maximum aperture of 3.5, but it could be my personal feeling.

Opinion: Excellent added value with the kit offer since it costs almost 400 euros by purchasing it separately, and in fact it is an excellent lens unlike 90% of the lenses supplied in the bundle. He is not superlative in any respect but he does well (almost) everything that is required of him and it is not little. The sharpness is always good, the communication with the camera ditto, it is really compact and very light constituting a winning combination with camera cameras like my Z30, put everything in the pocket of the jacket and go to take photos around without too much banging with the weight and with satisfactory results. The stabilization is not excellent but this is quite normal, it allows, by feeling, 3-4 stops instead of the 5-6 that IDIS sensors usually guarantee, but I would say that it is okay. The two defects, one objective and the other perhaps dependent on my "eye", are the lens release mechanism, cumbersome and which on some occasions affects the possibility of capturing the moment, and the low light in relation to the aperture. In my experience, I understand that sometimes some lenses give less light than you would expect from the aperture value and this could be one of them. In any case, I have the impression that this lens does not digest situations below at least a decent brightness. Which is normal for a 3.5-6.3 multifocal, of course, but in this case it seems to me that it is also below average, let's say. However, overall it is a really good object and especially if coupled with an APSC sensor it covers an ideal focal range for 90% of scenarios and with an image quality that is certainly satisfying for the amateur, even the advanced. A small plasticky and light-loving all-rounder but brilliant if put in the right conditions.

Pros: Sharp at all focal lengths, lightweight, compact (fits in a jeans pocket)

Cons: Too bad it's "only" a 16-50, so-so stabilizer

Opinion: For my amateur use it is excellent: portability, lightness and compactness. It fits comfortably in a trouser pocket or jacket and with the nikon z50 it is a featherweight. Fast focusing on Z50; A sore point you can see a little bit of the micro blur, but for my use it is more than perfect. I would recommend it for amateur and therefore non-professional use.

Pros: Sharpness, lightness and quick response of the motor for autofocus

Cons: dimly lit, less effective than expected in VR

Opinion: I've had the Zfc for a year. I'm excited about it, and a big part of my enthusiasm for the machine is its standard 16-50 zoom. The step up from the Sony A6000 that I've kept for a few years (with not much satisfaction) is impressive. The zoom has optical quality in the best Nikon tradition; It is lightweight, versatile, and easy to use; It has a more than good color response and excellent b/w contrast. The vignetting at the minimum focal length is decent - it needs to be corrected in post-production - but in line with expectations. The two things I liked the least are the stabilization that I expected to be better: at 1/8 there is nothing to do: you can see the blur! And then the look (and the feeling in the hand) of being a little too "plasticky". But that's okay: the Zfc + zoomino set are ideal to keep in my bag at all times. So much so that I'm seriously thinking of ditching the F-mount (with the D750 and part of its mountain of lenses - I have to keep them a bit for analog bodies) and switching to the Z-mount even if the whole thing will cost an arm and a leg...

Pros: Sharpness at any aperture and focal length, lightness

Cons: Stabilizer can be improved, opening click

Opinion: It is a lens that can not be missing in a Nikon Z DX kit. It's very sharp already at TA, I never had problems shooting at maximum aperture during the last trip to Madrid (in my gallery there are some photos taken with Z30 + 16-50 also at TA). It loses a thread at the corners when compared, for example, with the other kit lens (full frame), the 24-70 F4, but nothing catastrophic... the 16-50 Sony OSS that I had before on A6100 did much worse, even in the center of the image... overall it doesn't make me think at all to leave the Z6 at home with the 24-70. As for stabilization, I was fine shooting with a time limit of 1/25, maybe I could go down a little more, but I didn't want to risk ... surely I would not have approached the 0.8 seconds that allows me the Ricoh GRIII ... but it is compensated by an excellent ISO seal of Nikon's APSCs. The only real "flaw" is the inconvenience of the shot when opening. For the cost it has, especially in kit, combined with quality and lightness, it is a lens to have without a doubt in the kit.

Pros: all, sharpness and very good at all focal lengths

Cons: the brightness, but the VR i ISO compensate very well for this lack

Opinion: I bought it yesterday together with the kit Z-fc + 16/50 and 50/250. I was impressed because I did not expect such good sharpness. I often use the 14/24 f 2.8 so d 700 and I must say that this lens does not make me regret anything. And what about lightness? the kit of the Z-fc I took precisely for this reason. hello to all Angelo
