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

The NIKKOR Z 180-600mm f/5.6-6.3 VR is a super-telephoto zoom lens for Nikon Z cameras, built for birds, wildlife, sports and aircraft. The internal zoom keeps the length and balance constant, optical vibration reduction (VR) is rated at 5.5 stops, and the stepping motor focuses quickly and quietly. Without the tripod collar it weighs 1,955 g, light enough to carry and shoot handheld.

Extreme reach of 180–600 mm

The 180–600 mm range covers the most-used focal lengths for birds, wildlife and aircraft while also handling sports and landscapes. A minimum focus distance of 1.3 m at 180 mm and 2.4 m at 600 mm allows sharp shots of relatively close subjects too.

Precise autofocus

Autofocus is optimised for fast-moving birds, animals, sports and aircraft in both stills and video. The stepping motor (STM) is extremely quiet, ideal for shy wildlife, and subject tracking is stable with Nikon Z cameras featuring animal or vehicle detection.

5.5-stop vibration reduction (VR)

Optical vibration reduction (VR) in the lens corrects shake when shooting and panning handheld, tripod movement and wind, with an effect of 5.5 stops. This allows slower shutter speeds in low light. SPORT mode stabilises the viewfinder image, making fast or erratic subjects easier to follow.

Internal zoom and balance

At 1,955 g without the tripod collar, the lens opens up more places and subjects and lightens your load on trips. Thanks to the internal zoom it stays well balanced while zooming and panning, so it handles comfortably handheld without a tripod. A focus limit switch speeds up focusing on distant subjects.

This lens offers impressive zoom capabilities in a stable, lightweight design that is ideal for long-distance photography.
