Product Summary
Enjoy the creative freedom of a bright standard zoom on your Nikon Z DX mirrorless camera. Covering a versatile 24-75mm equivalent range, the Tamron 16-50mm F2.8 A captures everything from sweeping landscapes and architecture to portraits and everyday moments, with attractive background blur and confident low-light shooting.
At 315 g and 81.6 mm long, it is an appealing upgrade from a standard kit zoom, with F2.8 throughout the range. Fast, quiet VXD linear motor autofocus, close focusing down to 15 cm and moisture-resistant construction add versatility for photography and video.
Start Wider at 16mm
A 16mm starting point means more of the scene fits in the frame, which suits landscapes, architecture, interiors and group portraits. At the 50mm end, the perspective is flattering for portraits and tighter details.
This makes the lens a natural walkaround choice for travel, family photography and creative projects.
F2.8 from Wide to Tele
Because the maximum aperture stays at F2.8 throughout the zoom range, exposure and depth of field remain consistent as you zoom. Isolate a subject with attractive background blur, keep shutter speeds higher indoors and carry on shooting as the light fades.
A seven-blade circular diaphragm helps render smooth, pleasing bokeh, while the 14-element, 10-group optical construction supports detailed rendering across the frame.
VXD Autofocus for Moving Subjects
The linear motor delivers fast, precise focusing. Responsive tracking helps you keep up with children, pets and everyday action.
Smooth, Quiet Focusing for Video
Near-silent autofocus helps minimise distracting motor noise when recording, while responsive tracking keeps pace with moving subjects. The compact, lightweight construction also makes handheld shooting more comfortable.
Close-Up Capability
Get in close without changing lenses. At 16mm, the minimum focusing distance is just 15 cm, with a maximum magnification of 1:4.5, ideal for flowers, food, textures and small everyday subjects.
At 50mm, the minimum focusing distance is 29 cm with 1:4.8 magnification, giving you room to compose tighter detail shots.
Compact Enough to Take Everywhere
With a maximum diameter of 70 mm, this zoom keeps your camera setup balanced and easy to carry all day, whether you are exploring a city or travelling with minimal kit.
Built for Shooting Outdoors
Moisture-resistant construction adds reassurance when conditions are less than perfect. The fluorine coating on the front element helps repel fingerprints, moisture and dirt, making it easier to keep clean.
The supplied front cap also features a strap attachment hole, helping prevent it from being lost when shooting.
