Expanded Nikon Z 180-600mm f5.6-6.3 VR Lens Key Features:
Premium Optics
Built to meet the high demands of wildlife and sports photography, the Nikon Z 180-600mm f5.6-6.3 VR Lens features an incredible 25 glass elements arranged into 17 groups to deliver outstanding resolution and detail-rich clarity even at great distances. To cement this lens as an industry leader, Nikon includes six ED elements designed to reduce axial chromatic aberrations and improve performance when paired with teleconverters. Combined with the large f5.6 maximum aperture, the Nikon Z 180-600mm f5.6-6.3 VR Lens provides extended control over depth-of-field, effectively separating the subject from the background for striking results that bring the action closer. Bokeh also looks natural and circular thanks to the 9-bladed diaphragm.
Powerful Autofocus
Equipped with a high-speed stepping motor (STM), the Nikon Z 180-600mm f5.6-6.3 VR Lens is optimised for shooting fast-moving subjects in both stills and videos. Accurately tracking subjects is rock-steady and can be used with Nikon Z mirrorless cameras featuring Animal or Vehicle subject detection for even better results. In line with its position as a dedicated lens for wildlife, the STM is also near-silent, leaving timid subjects undeterred and the audio free from operational sounds.
Optimised for Video
Combining long reach with quiet focusing makes the Nikon Z 180-600mm f5.6-6.3 VR Lens an excellent option for shooting video. Taking video optimisation a step further, Nikon has also included focus breathing suppression to keep the angle view consistent whilst tracking subjects as they move towards or away from the lens. Paired with the 5.5-stop advantage the optical VR provides, the Nikon Z 180-600mm f5.6-6.3 VR Lens keeps handheld footage steady, minimising the need for extra stabilisers and helping users to get the shot.
Intuitive Handling
Whilst most telephoto lenses are known for being bulky, the Nikon Z 180-600mm f5.6-6.3 VR Lens has a streamlined build to increase user agility. Weighing only 1955g, this is one of the more comfortable telephoto lenses for shooting handheld. Operating the lens is just as easy; a light 70-degree turn of the zoom ring is all it takes to transition from the 180mm end up to 600mm. The Nikon Z 180-600mm f5.6-6.3 VR Lens also has four customisable Fn buttons and a control ring that users can operate without taking their eye off the viewfinder.
Maximised Protection
Knowing that capturing wildlife gives rise to more challenging shooting conditions, Nikon has sealed the Z 180-600mm f5.6-6.3 VR Lens to prevent dust and water droplets from entering the barrel. This reliable sealing allows photographers to shoot outdoors comfortably, knowing their kit is safe in less favourable climates. Reinforcing Nikon’s dedication to maximising protection, the Z 180-600mm f5.6-6.3 VR Lens benefits from an internal zoom mechanism - as the lens doesn’t move during zooming, there are fewer places for dust to accumulate. Nikon has also used an additional fluorine coating to repel oil, moisture, and smudges from the front element.
