I know a lot of people are concerned because of the f/6.3 as you get to the long end, but quite frankly it doesn't make that huge a difference. Even if the lens was f/5.6 it would be unlikely that there would be a lot more background blur. Changing that aperture to f/5.6 would probably have made the lens somewhat bigger, heavier and more expensive.

The Z50 will use any Z mount lens. The Z50 does not have IBIS. The two kit lenses and the Z DX 18-140 have VR. Those are what I own. By now (or in the near future) there should more available.

There is also a 24 mm DX lens on Nikon's list of future Z primes. On my Z fc, the Z50's stablemate, I also use the very tiny and very inexpensive full frame 28mm f/2.8 and the 40mm f/2 primes. They are both very sharp in the center and are still sharp all the way to the edges on the z fc and Z50. Finally Voigtlander is developing a manual 23mm f/1.2 (YES, f/1.2) specifically for Nikon Z DX cameras. It'll have a 35 mm equivalent angle of view of 35 mm.

Just received an email from Nikon. They are running a sale on refurbished cameras and lenses. The z50 2 lens kit is on sale for $1000! I have purchased refurbished gear from Nikon and have never been disappointed.
