NIKON Nikkor Z 180-600mm f/5.6-6.3 VR
Shoot from a distance and bring the action to you with sharp, high-resolution detail. In stills and movies alike, this full-frame super-telephoto zoom gives you the reach you need and the sharpness you want.
Don't hold back. Extreme range super-telephoto lens.
Who doesn't like to have options when shooting from a distance? This lens's wide focal length range of 180-600mm easily covers the most popular focal lengths for shooting wildlife, birds and aircraft, while offering great flexibility for sports and landscape photography. You can also capture sharp shots at close range thanks to a minimum focusing distance of just 2.4m at 600mm and 1.3m at 180mm.
Excellent agility
Whatever the subject, the lightness (approximately 1955 g) of this full-frame super-telephoto zoom lens gives you access to many more shots and locations. You can travel with less weight than expected, and the internal zoom lets you shoot handheld in a balanced way: zoom in or out, then pan or tilt, all without a tripod. You can even find completely new perspectives to capture the scenes.
Perfect autofocus
AF has been optimised to capture fast-moving subjects (such as birds, wildlife, sportsmen and planes) in both still images and videos. The high-speed stepping motor (STM) is extremely quiet when focusing and shooting movies, so it's perfect for capturing the shyest animals. Tracking is rock-stable when used in conjunction with Nikon Z mirrorless cameras that incorporate animal or vehicle subject detection function.
Powerful stabilization on the lens itself
The Nikon lens's Optical Shake Reduction function compensates for vibrations when shooting handheld (panning, tripod movements, wind, and anything else) to give you a 5.5-stop advantage.1 You can shoot at slower shutter speeds without sacrificing sharpness, which is ideal in low light conditions. For fast movements, SPORT mode stabilises the viewfinder image, which makes it easier to capture fast or unpredictable subjects.
Stunning videos from a distance
Thanks to its wide reach and quiet focusing, this high-resolution super-telephoto zoom lens opens up a whole world of possibilities for shooting beautifully compressed backgrounds. Optical VR keeps handheld captures steady, and focus breathing elimination keeps the angle of view consistent while tracking subjects approaching or moving away from you.
Protected from dust and splashes
Its reliable isolation helps prevent dust and water droplets from entering the lens, as does the internal zoom mechanism, as the body doesn't move while zooming, so there are fewer places where dust can accumulate. Nikon's fluorine coating repels oil, moisture, and stains, and makes it easier to clean the font element.
Comfortable to handle
It only needs a slight 70-degree rotation of the zoom ring to go from 180mm to 600mm. You can activate any of the four customisable Fn buttons or use the control ring without taking your eye off the display. The tripod foot is detachable, and the lens hood (included) has a lock to prevent accidental disengagement.
Zoom to 1200mm with a Nikon Z teleconverter!
Sometimes, the only thing you need is to have the widest reach possible. Attach Nikon's lightweight 2.0x Z-series teleconverter to this super-telephoto zoom lens and you can extend its reach up to 1200mm. Or use 840mm with the Z-Series 1.4x teleconverter. Image quality is not lost: the lens's six ED glass elements reduce longitudinal chromatic aberration even when using a teleconverter.
