Introduction On October 10, 2019, Nikon announced the first DX-format (APS-C) Z-mount camera, the Nikon Z50. Along with the camera, two DX lenses were also released, the Nikkor Z DX 16-50 mm VR and the Nikkor Z DX 50-250 mm VR. According to Nikon, at the time of release, the lens was the absolute smallest Nikkor Z lens (superseded by the full-frame Nikkor Z 26 mm in 2023), and also the smallest APS-C/DX-format lens ever. It sports an all-plastic construction and a plastic mount, to make the lens lighter. The lens has a retractable design, making it more compact when not in use. Unlike previous DX-format kit lenses for the F-mount, the 18-55 mm zooms, this lens offers a shorter focal length on both ends (by 2 and 5 mm, respectively), with a darker aperture on the telephoto end ( instead of ). The lens does not come with a lens hood.

Silver version (SL) On June 29, 2021, Nikon also announced an otherwise both optically and design-wise identical silver version of the lens, alongside the release of the Nikon Zfc and the Special Edition version of the Nikkor Z 28 mm (SE) prime lens. The "SL" designation is used in the product name by retailers, to distinguish the two versions.
