Nikon NIKKOR Z 180-600mm
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 and it’s possible to achieve a monster reach of 1200 mm while still shooting handheld! With its lightweight build and reliable weather sealing, this lens is as travel-friendly as they come for telephoto zooms.
Key Features
- Versatile super-telephoto zoom lens: broad 180-600 mm focal-length range for shooting wildlife, birds, aircraft, sports, and more.
- Excellent agility: weighs just 1955 g (approx.). A light turn of the zoom ring is all it takes to move from the 180 mm end of the range to 600 mm, and the internal zoom keeps the centre of gravity balanced.
- Sharp close focusing: minimum focus distance of 2.4 m at 600 mm and 1.3 m at 180 mm.
- Spot-on autofocus: optimized for shooting fast-moving subjects, and super quiet.
- 5.5-stop2 Vibration Reduction: in-lens optical VR compensates for vibrations from handheld shooting. SPORT Mode stabilizes the viewfinder image.
- Long-distance video: quiet focusing and suppressed focus breathing. Easily shoot video footage with beautifully compressed backgrounds.
- Protected: reliable sealing helps protect from dust and water droplets,1 and the barrel doesn’t move when zooming so there are fewer places for dust to accumulate. Nikon’s fluorine coat is applied to the front element.
- Z teleconverters: reach as far as 1200 mm with the Z TELECONVERTER TC-2.0x, or 840 mm with the Z TELECONVERTER TC-1.4x.
