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

Pros: Very sharp at all focal lengths, lightweight, compact, very effective VR (4.5 EV)

Cons: Collapsible opening, f./6.3 from 40mm onwards

Opinion: A little jewel purchased used for my Nikon Z50 at an amazing price. It goes perfectly with the Z50, of which it is an ideal complement: light, compact, very sharp on all focal lengths, with an excellent stabilizer that does not regret the lack of IBIS on the body of the Z50. With the 50-250Z composes the ideal kit for the new Nikon ML APS-C and does not disfigure in front of more noble lenses that weigh 5 times as much and cost 10 times more. Built in sturdy plastic, from an impression of solidity and quality, the zoom is smooth and the AF very fast and silent. Sturdy plastic bayonet is not a problem for me. The only flaws are the low brightness at the longest focal lengths, but well compensated by the stabilizer, and the small shot to extend the barrel that makes you lose those 2 seconds that could prevent you from seizing a particular moment. Overall a well-designed and excellent kit lens in every respect. Vote, taking into account the many positive elements: 9.5

Pros: Sharpness, lightness, size.

Cons: maximum opening.

Opinion: Incredibly sharp at all focal lengths, superb at 50mm. despite the limited maximum aperture, detail at 50mm. like the best optics of Casa (guys I shot at a spider hanging from the drying rack putting myself at the minimum distance allowed, enlarging the shot you can see the hairs on the paws). Very smart: small and fast in focusing. If it had been a 16-80 instead of 16-50 it would not have been "a goal" but "The Goal".
