NIKKOR Z DX 50-250mm f/4.5-6.3 VR overview
The Nikon NIKKOR Z DX 50-250mm f/4.5-6.3 VR is a 50–250mm f/4.5–6.3 zoom for APS-C cameras on Nikon Z, announced by Nikon in October 2019. 4 cameras we track take it without an adapter.
Going by its spec sheet, it suits wildlife and sport as well as travel. It is a weaker pick for rain and dust as well as low light without a tripod.
