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

The NIKKOR Z 180-600mm f/5.6-6.3 VR Lens from Nikon represents a groundbreaking super-telephoto zoom lens specifically designed for Z-series mirrorless cameras. It delivers exceptional sharpness throughout its extensive zoom range. Tailored to meet the rigorous requirements of sports and wildlife photographers, this lens offers a wide telephoto range, enabling the capture of dynamic images and videos while maintaining a relatively compact and lightweight form factor.

• This lens incorporates six ED (extra-low dispersion) glass elements designed to enhance light transmission while reducing light dispersion. This configuration effectively mitigates chromatic aberrations and color fringing across the entire zoom range, resulting in exceptional clarity and color fidelity.
  
  
• It features a single aspherical glass element that significantly reduces distortion and coma at wider apertures. The inclusion of this aspherical element allows for a more lightweight and compact design, which is particularly advantageous for super-telephoto zoom lenses.
  
  
• A FLC fluorine coating is applied to the lens, providing effective resistance against dust, water, grease, and dirt. This coating facilitates easy cleaning, even when contaminants adhere to the lens surface. It is designed to withstand frequent cleaning without degradation, and its anti-reflective properties further enhance the clarity of captured images.
  
  
• The STM stepping motor facilitates rapid, precise, smooth, and silent autofocus while minimizing wobbling. This drive mechanism delivers remarkably smooth and quiet autofocus capabilities, making it ideal for both still photography and videography.
  
  
• The A/M mode, which stands for Auto-Priority Manual Mode, allows for a seamless shift from autofocus to manual focus during AF operation.
  
  
• The internal focusing lens design maintains a consistent lens size throughout zoom and autofocus processes, contributing to a compact form factor that supports close focusing distances.
  
  
• It offers a minimum focusing distance of 4.3 feet and achieves a maximum magnification of 0.25x at the 180mm zoom setting, enabling the capture of intricate details and subjects.
  
  
• The integrated optical Vibration Reduction (VR) system enhances image stability by automatically counteracting camera shake. This in-lens technology provides stabilization equivalent to a shutter speed that is 5.5 stops faster, effectively reducing camera blur when panning to follow fast-moving subjects.
  
  
• At its widest setting, this lens is great for locating your subject. With a mere 70° turn of the zoom ring, you can reach all the way to 600mm for tight framing with beautiful background compression.
  
  
• Customizable control ring and function buttons provide intuitive control points for quickly changing exposure settings and other functions.
  
  
• Durable and weather-sealed lens barrel along with a front fluorine coating for use in inclement conditions.
  
  
• Rotating tripod collar offers mounting stability when shooting atop a monopod or tripod.
  
  
• Compatible with Nikon Z-series teleconverters, the lens allows you to extend your effective focal length to 840mm with the 1.4x teleconverter and up to 1200mm with the 2x teleconverter.
