Dip your toe into the world of Z lenses with the NIKKOR Z 180-600mm f/5.6-6.3 VR. Experience a wide focal length range of 180-600mm that caters to a variety of subjects including wildlife and aircraft. Its fast and quiet AF with a stepping motor (STM) ensures smooth operability, while its up to 5.5 stops¹ Vibration Reduction results in sharp and high-resolution images. Another notable feature of this lens is its internal zoom mechanism that maintains a similar centre of gravity when zooming. So whether you are shooting handheld or on a tripod, you can rest assured that the framing can be as stable as it can be.

Focus more on the surrounding with hassle-free photography and videography. Designed for outdoor, NIKKOR Z 180-600mm f/5.6-6.3 VR is your perfect companion for open spaces. Zoom in and out while staying stable with its centre of gravity – despite its telephoto distance – thanks to its internal zoom mechanism that highly reduces the effect of weight shift. The fact that its barrel movement is minimised also seals off dust and water droplets effectively⁴, which is ideal for an outdoor shoot. What’s more, the fluorine coat on the front surface of the lens also prevents contaminants from sticking to it, allowing you to clean it easily. 

Experience the powerful, superb performance of the NIKKOR Z 180-600mm f/5.6-6.3 VR. As a part of the NIKKOR Z lineup, this lens renders sharp and high-resolution images from edge to edge. It has six ED glass elements to suppress chromatic aberration to minimise colour fringing, ensuring colour accuracy. Its vibration compensation of up to 5.5 stops also effectively reduces the chance of image blur. This is especially important for telephoto lenses. With such high-power zooming, any slight movement would be largely magnified. The VR performance of this lens allows you to shoot handheld without having to worry about the camera and lens itself. And when filming erratic movements of small animals, turn the VR SPORT mode on and you will achieve a stable EVF viewing when panning, tracking, and doing continuous burst high-speed shooting. That way you will not miss a single movement. 

Tell stories that move. Designed with videography in mind, the NIKKOR Z 180-600mm f/5.6-6.3 VR has adopted a quiet stepping motor and clickless control ring to minimise operational sounds. So when recording a video, you can avoid stray noise from getting in the way. The angle of view and exposure are kept constant even when adjusting the focus position and aperture, keeping a smooth transition even when shifting focus.

¹ Based on CIPA Standard; this value is achieved when attached to a mirrorless camera equipped with full-frame/FX-format image sensor with the camera’s VR function set to “NORMAL”, and when zoom is set to the maximum telephoto position.

² Without tripod collar ring

³ Depending on the subject, ambient lighting conditions, and the focus point selected, the camera may be unable to focus using autofocus or the focus indicator for electronic rangefinding may flicker while a teleconverter is attached.

⁴ Thorough dust- and drip-resistance is not guaranteed in all situations or under all conditions.
