Is the nikon z dx 16 50mm f 3 5 6 3 vr good for travel?

Yes, mostly. The Nikon Z DX 16-50mm f/3.5-6.3 VR covers wide to standard, and its stabilisation helps with dim churches and interiors handheld. It's a sensible kit zoom for travel on an APS-C body.

Its reach is the limit. On APS-C it frames like 24-75mm on full frame, so you'll want something longer for distant subjects. The travel guide suggests a zoom reaching to about 105mm full-frame equivalent, so this one falls short there.

It fits these bodies, and I'd pick from the APS-C ones for travel:

Add a small fast prime for evenings, as the packing list suggests.
