Features
- Expand Your Capabilities
The NIKKOR Z 180-600mm f/5.6-6.3 VR takes you far beyond the reach of standard and telephoto zoom lenses, making the most distant shots suddenly possible. - Powerful 180mm-600mm Range
At its widest setting, the NIKKOR Z 180-600mm f/5.6-6.3 VR is great for locating your subject. With a mere quarter turn of the zoom ring, you can reach all the way to 600mm for tight framing with beautiful background compression. - Comfortable Handheld Shooting
The NIKKOR Z 180-600mm f/5.6-6.3 VR is among the lightest super-telephoto zoom lenses in its class1, and since it doesn’t expand/retract, it handles the same at every zoom position. - Short-Throw Internal Zoom
An all-internal design eliminates extending/retracting, improving handling, with only a 70° turn needed to go from 180mm to 600mm. The design also prevents dust or moisture from entering those moving parts. - Versatile Close Focusing
With a minimum focus distance of just 4.27 ft at the 180mm zoom position and a large 0.25x reproduction ratio, you can turn an unexpected close encounter into a once-in-a-lifetime photo or video. - Up To 5.5 Stops Of VR
Built-in optical Vibration Reduction (VR) provides a stabilization effect equivalent to a shutter speed of 5.5 stops2 faster, reducing camera blur when panning to track fast-moving subjects. - Sharp In Low Light
Built-in optical VR image stabilization also allows you to shoot at slower shutter speeds to gather more light at dusk, dawn or in a dense forest. - Quiet, Accurate Autofocus
Reliably track your subje ts without mechanical lens noise, crucial for skittish wildlife and video recording. - Pairs Great With Z Teleconverters
Increase your reach by 2x (up to 1200mm) or 1.4x (up to 840mm) with Nikon’s Z series teleconverters (sold separately). - Picks Up Where The 70-180mm Leaves Off
Use both lenses together to cover the entire focal length range from 70-600mm with consistent performance and operation.
