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

The one-lens travel option for DX bodies — a 7.8x zoom range covering most everyday needs in a single lens. Heavier and pricier than the 16-50mm kit zoom but far more versatile, and widely regarded as a better choice than a kit-plus-telephoto combo for casual shooters.

📝 How suitability scores are calculated GearScore™ genre scores are calculated from this camera's verified specifications — autofocus, sensor, weight, weather sealing and more — weighted by what matters for each type of photography. Where a spec sheet misses something (e.g. a manual-focus rangefinder for street), we apply a documented editorial adjustment. Scores are not based on customer reviews. See our full methodology →
