Nikon NIKKOR Z 180-600mm f/5.6-6.3 VR 

Take the long shot and bring the action to you in crisp, high-resolution detail.

Photos or movies, this full-frame super-telephoto zoom lens gives you the reach you need and the sharpness you want.

The NIKKOR Z 180-600mm f/5.6-6.3 VR super-telephoto zoom reaches even further, easily covering the most popular focal lengths for wildlife, birds, and aircraft photography, while leaving plenty of flexibility for sports and landscapes too.

Powerful in-lens Vibration Reduction keeps shots stable, while the internal zoom contributes to balanced handheld shooting: zoom in or out, then pan or tilt, all without a tripod.

Attach the Z TELECONVERTER TC-2.0x to this lens (sold separately) and it’s possible to achieve a monster reach of 1200 mm while still shooting handheld!

Autofocus and Vibration Reduction

• STM stepping motor for fast, accurate, smooth, and quiet autofocus with reduced wobbling. This drive system also offers impressively smooth and quiet autofocus performance that is well-suited to both stills and video applications.
• A/M mode standing for Auto-Priority Manual Mode enables an easy transition from autofocus to manual during AF operation.
• Internal focusing lens design keeps the lens the same size during zoom and autofocus operation. This also allows for a compact form factor capable of close focusing distances.
• Provides a minimum focusing distance 4.3', along with a 0.25x maximum magnification at the 180mm zoom position for capturing close-up details and subjects.
• Built-in optical Vibration Reduction (VR) system improves image stability by automatically compensating for camera shake. This in-lens technology provides a stabilization effect equivalent to a shutter speed of 5.5 stops faster, reducing camera blur when panning to track fast-moving subjects.

Optical Design

• Six ED (extra-low dispersion) glass elements increase light transmission and decrease light dispersion, effectively eliminating chromatic aberrations and colour fringing throughout the zoom range for notable clarity and colour accuracy.
• Single aspherical glass element minimises distortion at wide apertures. The aspherical element also enables a lighter and more compact size, which is particularly useful for super-telephoto zoom lenses.
• FLC fluorine coating effectively repels dust, water droplets, grease, and dirt, ensuring easy removal even when they adhere to the lens surface. This coating endures a high frequency of lens surface wiping, and its anti-reflective effect also contributes to the capture of clear images.
