Capture thrilling photos and videos of wildlife, sports, aircraft and more with Nikon’s farthest reaching zoom lens for Z series mirrorless cameras. Comfortable and balanced for quick handheld shooting. Durable and weather sealed for rough conditions. Sharp and clear across the entire 180-600mm zoom range, and compatible with teleconverters for up to 2x more reach.
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 class, 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-degree 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 feet 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 stops 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 subjects 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.
Effortless Operation
The quick-release tripod foot allows easy on, and easy off. It can be rotated for vertical shooting.
