The F2.8 aperture stays constant through the zoom, so the lens doesn't lose brightness as you move from wide to telephoto the way a typical kit lens does.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize and weight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt 315g and 81.6mm long, it's a little larger than the Sony and Fujifilm versions (a consequence of the Z-mount's wider throat diameter) but still compact enough to suit the small DX bodies it's built for, with a 55mm filter thread.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAutofocus\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTamron's VXD linear motor drives fast, precise, near-silent autofocus - good for tracking unpredictable subjects like kids or pets, and quiet enough not to intrude on video audio. The Nikon Z version supports Tamron Lens Utility over both PC and the mobile app, so you can assign custom functions to the lens's controls and update firmware yourself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClose focusing and bokeh\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMinimum focus distance is 15cm at 16mm and 29cm at 50mm, letting you fill the frame with small subjects while keeping a wide, usable background - useful for flowers, food or product-style shots. At 50mm, the 7-blade circular diaphragm and F2.8 aperture produce smooth background blur for portraits and detail shots.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBuild and handling\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe barrel has moisture-resistant seals throughout and a sealed USB-C port, plus a fluorine-coated front element that resists water, oil and fingerprints and wipes clean easily. A redesigned front cap includes strap holes on both sides, so it can be tethered to the camera strap instead of carried loose or left behind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003c!-- IMAGE: lifestyle photography (lens in use - everyday, travel, family shooting) --\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWho it's for\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is the lens for a Z30, Zfc, Z50 or Z50II owner who wants to move beyond their kit zoom's variable aperture and into F2.8 brightness and background blur, particularly for indoor shots, portraits and evening photography where a kit lens starts to struggle. Vloggers will appreciate the 16mm wide end for selfie-style framing and the Lens Utility support for assigning custom controls. There's currently no higher-spec Tamron alternative on Z mount, so this is the natural choice if you want a fast standard zoom for Nikon DX today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003c!-- IMAGE: sample images (photos taken with the lens) --\u003e","brand":"Tamron","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57449180135689,"sku":"B091Z","price":419.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0727\/9348\/9673\/files\/b091z-style.jpg?v=1791987921","url":"https:\/\/harrisoncameras.co.uk\/products\/tamron-16-50mm-f2-8-a-lens-nikon-z-mount-b091z","provider":"Harrison Cameras","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
