NIKON Z 180-600 f5.6-6.3 FX VR AF lens (CLNZ-180600VR)

The NIKKOR Z 180-600mm f/5.6-6.3 VR is a super-telephoto zoom lens that offers superior agility and outstanding operability. It supports the capture of powerful, up-close shots of subjects at a distance, such as birds, wildlife, and airplanes. With a minimum focus distance of 1.3 m at the wide-angle position, and a minimum focus distance of 2.4 m at the telephoto position, the lens is also ideal for capturing close-up shots of flowers and insects at the user's feet in-between shots of birds, for example. The broad range of focal lengths allows users to enjoy shooting a wide variety of scenes and subjects all with this single lens. In addition, the NIKKOR Z 180-600mm f/5.6-6.3 VR offers users excellent support with its lightweight design and vibration reduction (VR) with an effect of 5.5 stops* that enable superior agility, while the adoption of an internal zoom mechanism greatly increases operability.

Primary features

• Supports coverage for the 180 mm to 600 mm range of focal lengths while weighing just 1,955 g*¹.
• A short minimum focus distance of 1.3 m at the maximum wide-angle position enables close-up shots of flowers and insects at the user's feet.
• VR performance equivalent to a 5.5-stop increase in shutter speed effectively reduces blurring in dimly lit surroundings and/or with handheld shooting.
• Adoption of a stepping motor (STM) ensures fast and quiet autofocusing.
• Adoption of an internal zoom mechanism increases zooming stability and dust-resistant performance.
• Four lens Fn buttons, to which a variety of functions can be assigned, at the front end of the lens barrel support easy operation during handheld shooting.
• Adoption of a lockable lens hood, with a lens hood lock release button, keeps the lens hood securely attached.
• In addition to a design that takes dust- and drip-resistance into account*², an antifouling fluorine coat has been adopted on the front lens to enable easy removal of dust and dirt.
• Ideal for video recording with a click-less control ring that supports smooth operation and minimizes operation noise, as well as adoption of a design that considers the suppression of focus breathing.
• Maintains superior resolution when using the Z TELECONVERTER TC-1.4x or Z TELECONVERTER TC-2.0x to extend the maximum focal length to as much as 840 mm or 1,200 mm, respectively.*³
• Adoption of six ED glass elements effectively compensates chromatic aberration.
