NIKKOR Z DX 18-140mm f/3.5-6.3 VR lens features:

  • The maximum reproduction ratio of 0.33x at the maximum telephoto position enables rendering of subjects in large size.
  • Equipped with an optical vibration reduction (VR) mechanism that provides camera shake compensation equivalent to a 5.0-stop increase in shutter speed.
  • High resolution is achieved consistently across the entire zoom range.
  • Ideal for video recording with effectively reduced shifting of focus when zooming in/out and shifting of angle of view when adjusting focus.
  • Selected functions can be assigned to the control ring for comfortable shooting of stills and videos.
  • Fast, precise and quiet AF operation is attained with the employment of an STM (stepping motor).
  • Designed with consideration for dust- and drip-resistant performance*2, enabling users to take it anywhere with greater confidence.
