The Nikon Z 600mm f/6.3 VR S is a lightweight S-Line super-telephoto prime lens. This full-frame 600mm lens is designed for handheld photography and delivers sharp image quality. It is suitable for photographing wildlife and birds, as well as motorsports, aircraft, and more.
The Nikon Z 600mm f/6.3 VR S weighs approximately 1,470 grams (with the tripod collar) and is therefore the lightest 600mm prime lens in its class. Because its center of gravity is closer to the camera body, the lens is exceptionally well balanced and makes handheld shooting easy.
Despite the 600mm focal length, this balance allows photographers to pan smoothly while keeping airborne subjects properly framed and tracked.
Even when shooting through dust or directly into the sunset, images remain exceptionally sharp and clear at every aperture. At dusk, dawn, or in dense woodland, photographers can use up to 6.0 stops of VR image stabilization to produce steady, sharp images.
Photographers and videographers who shoot wildlife and birds also benefit from quiet, precise autofocus that tracks subjects and focuses on them with virtually no noise.
Thanks to its modern weather sealing, this lightweight 600mm lens is also suitable for extreme conditions and bad weather. Users who need even more reach can pair the Nikon Z 600mm f/6.3 VR S with a Z-series teleconverter without losing resolution. The lens's powerful AF and VR capabilities remain available when Z teleconverters are used. Its reach can be extended by 2x (to 1200mm) or 1.4x (to 840mm).
