Nikon Nikkor Z DX 18-140mm f/3.5-6.3VR

The technical details behind this lens

The NIKKOR Z DX 18-140mm f/3.5-6.3 VR is a lens that can explore it all with you. Go from detailed wide-angle landscapes to lovely street scenes to telephoto close-ups with beautifully blurred backgrounds, even macro-style shots, all with a single lightweight DX-format lens that delivers outstanding image quality shot after shot.

Versatile. 7.8x Zoom.

The NIKKOR Z DX 18-140mm f/3.5-6.3 VR can cover just about any shot. It smoothly zooms from a wide-angle 18mm (27mm equivalent on DX cameras), through the sweet spots of the focal length range - 35mm, 50mm, 85mm, 105mm - all the way up to the 140mm of telephoto power (210mm equivalent on DX cameras).

VR keeps it steady

Built-in VR image stabilisation counteracts hand-held camera shake for steadier videos and sharper photos. It also lets you shoot stills at slower shutter speeds without causing motion blur.

Outstanding for Video

Make smooth iris transitions and exposure adjustments thanks to an electromagnetic diaphragm. The ultra-quiet stepping motor prevents focus drive sounds from being captured on film, and focus breathing is greatly suppressed.

Close focusing for macro shots

Get as close as 20 centimeters* from your subject and fill the frame with macro-style details at a large 0.33x reproduction ratio. This is great for tabletop shots and food photography, where you can’t exactly back up.

Customisable Control

The smooth click-less control ring can be customised for the way you shoot. Use it for precise manual focusing or to adjust aperture, ISO, or exposure compensation.

Compact, Lightweight

At just 315 grams and 90mm collapsed, the NIKKOR Z DX 18-140mm f/3.5-6.3 VR is ideal for travel or just an everyday, do-it-all walkaround lens.

Dust and drip resistant

The lens barrel and all moving parts are designed carefully considering dust- and drip-resistant performance with sealing that prevents dust and water droplets from entering the lens.

Brilliant Design

Legacy. NIKKOR badge.

Carefully positioned on the top of the lens to emphasize the legendary brand and quality.

Smooth Operator

Sharp. Satin Finish

Precision feel. Classic knurling.

Our expert's opinion

Outstanding NIKKOR Z optics deliver beautiful high-resolution, high contrast images and videos across the entire zoom range. ED glass significantly reduces axial chromatic aberration and minimises colour bleeding across the entire frame. Despite its big zoom range, the NIKKOR Z DX 18-140mm f/3.5-6.3 VR is a lightweight, compact do-it-all lens that’s great for travel, events or just shooting on the go. It’s an ideal companion for DX-format Z cameras like Z 50 and Z fc.
