I was absolutely over the moon when I heard that Nikon was launching the Nikkor Z DX 16-50mm f/2.8 VR and Nikkor Z DX MC 35mm f/1.7. Not only because they look like great optics in their own right, but because it’s taken the Big N years to fill out its selection of APS-C Nikon Z lenses – and in my humble opinion, the range was crying out for its first f/2.8 zoom and macro lens.
I understand that DX-format cameras grant the user access to a huge collection of full-frame glass, too, but the majority of photographers choose DX cameras either because they’re cheaper than full-frame systems and/or they’re smaller than full-frame systems. So it stands to reason that they want DX glass. And the Nikkor Z DX 16-50mm f/2.8 VR is a case in point.
