Nikon NIKKOR Z DX 18-140mm f/3.5-6.3 VR Reviews
Too expensive for how it's made
By Paul
Rated 3 out of 5

The range is good for a walkabout lens. The image quality is good at the wider end but just okay at the longer end. The manual focus works well and is smooth. The build is cheap as with so many Nikon lenses nowadays. For the price of this lens I would expect a lens hood and metal mount. Nikon has really gotten cheap.
Great Go-Everywhere Lens

A long European river cruise, with lots of walking, led to buying this lens as a replacement for several DX lenses (from my D300s) / FTZ adapter on a Z-50. What a difference in weight but no lack of control and resolution. It just feels right and, hopefully, this returns the VR feature without a lot of battery drain for older lens designs.

Asked by: Phil
No, the Nikon NIKKOR Z DX 18-140mm f/3.5-6.3 VR Lens would not offer macro capability. That being said, the Nikon NIKKOR Z MC 50mm f/2.8 Macro Lens, BH # NIZ5028 would offer this capability.

So this lens will only be compatible with the Z50 and Zfc, and not with other Z cameras?
Asked by: Robert
Using this lens on a full frame body will crop in the sensor, and effectively lower the resolution.

Can you compare in specs and image quality to the older (2019) Nikkor Z DX 50-250mm F/4.5 VR?
Asked by: Catherine
The difference is only the angle of view. The 18-140 is wider while the 50-250 has a narrower angle of view. Many photographers will use both lenses depending on the situation. For items far away like wildlife the 50-250 is better. For landscape photos, or photos of a group of people in a small room for instance the 18-140 is better.

Is there any reason to get the more expensive full-frame superzoom for my z7ii rather than this?
Asked by: Andy
Nikon NIKKOR Z DX 18-140mm f/3.5-6.3 VR Lens is a crop lens. Using that lens on the Z7ii will crop the image by 1.5 times. And you loose a lot of resolution.

Does this have VR that works with the Z50 mirrorless which I gather does not have in-camera VR? Is it a 4-5 stop VR?
Asked by: William
According to Nikons announcement:
The lens also realizes high vibration reduction (VR) performance with an effect equivalent to a 5.0-stop increase in shutter speed for more stable and sharp photos even during telephoto shooting or in low-light situations where vibration is likely to occur.
This value is achieved when attached to a camera with APS-C size sensor, with the cameras VR function set to NORMAL, and when zoom is set to the maximum telephoto position.
