Nikon India has announced two new additions to its APS-C/DX-format mirrorless lineup – the NIKKOR Z DX MC 35mm f/1.7 and the NIKKOR Z DX 16-50mm f/2.8 VR. Both are set to launch in the first week of November 2025.
The NIKKOR Z DX MC 35mm f/1.7, priced at ₹38,995, is Nikon’s first DX-format micro lens capable of achieving a life-size reproduction ratio (equivalent to 1:1 in FX/35mm format). With a bright f/1.7 aperture and a minimum focus distance of 0.16 m, it enables sharp, detailed close-ups with soft, natural bokeh. Its aspherical ED glass element minimises chromatic aberration, while the stepping motor (STM) ensures quiet autofocus — ideal for both photography and video. Weighing just a few hundred grams, the lens is lightweight, portable, and built with dust- and drip-resistance in mind.
Alongside it, Nikon introduces the NIKKOR Z DX 16-50mm f/2.8 VR, priced at ₹78,995, a compact zoom covering 24–75mm (FX equivalent) with a constant f/2.8 aperture. It offers 5-stop vibration reduction (VR), excellent low-light performance, and versatile close-focusing distances of 0.15 m (wide) and 0.25 m (telephoto). The lens features ED and aspherical elements for high-resolution clarity, STM autofocus, and focus breathing suppression for smooth video capture.
