Unmatched Reach and Flexibility

It leaves room for plenty of creative flexibility, making it equally adept at capturing distant landscapes or high-speed sports action.

For those who need even more reach, you can stack Nikon’s lightweight Z series 2.0x teleconverter on this super-telephoto zoom lens to extend your reach to an astounding 1200mm. Or go to 840mm with the Z series 1.4x teleconverter. With the lens’ six ED glass elements, you’re guaranteed reduced axial chromatic aberration even when using a teleconverter, ensuring your images maintain their high-quality detail and clarity.

Precision Autofocus

Designed to handle fast-moving subjects in both stills and videos, this lens boasts an optimised autofocus system powered by a high-speed Stepping Motor (STM). Its ultra-quiet operation makes it perfect for capturing timid wildlife, and it tracks subjects with rock-steady precision when used with Nikon Z mirrorless cameras that incorporate Animal or Vehicle subject detection.

Enhanced Stability

The lens features powerful in-lens Vibration Reduction (VR), offering up to a 5.5-stop advantage. The optical VR effectively compensates for any handheld vibrations, allowing you to capture steadier shots without the need for a tripod. The lens also features a dedicated SPORT Mode that stabilises the viewfinder image, making it easier to acquire rapid or unpredictable subjects.

The Nikon Z 180-600mm f5.6-6.3 VR Lens houses 25 glass elements arranged into 17 groups, including six ED elements and one Aspherical element.

The 9-blade aperture diaphragm adds to the lens’ charm by producing a naturally circular bokeh.

Exceptional Agility and Protection

Despite its impressive capabilities, the lens maintains an excellent level of portability, weighing only around 1955g. This makes it an easy carry for field shoots and travel photography. It also features a control ring and four customisable Fn buttons for intuitive handling, allowing photographers to shoot without distractions.

Protection-wise, the Nikon Z 180-600mm f5.6-6.3 VR Lens is sealed to guard against dust and water droplets. Plus, it features an internal zoom mechanism, reducing potential dust accumulation points, and a fluorine coating on the front element to repel oil, moisture, and smudges.
