After years of rumours, Nikon have finally announced the release of their latest super-tele zoom lens, the NIKKOR Z 180-600mm f/5.6-6.3 VR. This lens is designed for Nikon’s full-frame mirrorless Z-mount cameras and offers a versatile range for wildlife, sports, and other long-distance photography.

With a maximum aperture of f/5.6-6.3, the NIKKOR Z 180-600mm f/5.6-6.3 VR is not the fastest lens on the market, but it makes up for it with its impressive zoom range. The lens features Vibration Reduction (VR) technology, which helps to reduce camera shake and produce sharper images. The lens also has a minimum focus distance of 2.4m, which makes it suitable for close-up shots of wildlife and other subjects.

One of the standout features of this lens is its compatibility with Nikon’s teleconverters. With the 1.4x teleconverter, the lens can reach a maximum focal length of 840mm, while the 2x teleconverter extends it to 1200mm. This makes the NIKKOR Z 180-600mm f/5.6-6.3 VR an even more versatile lens for long-distance photography.

The NIKKOR Z 180-600mm f/5.6-6.3 VR is priced at $1,999.95USD (£1799). This lens is a great addition to Nikon’s Z-mount lineup and offers a versatile option for photographers who require a long-range lens.

However, some photographers may find the maximum aperture of f/5.6-6.3 not to be sufficient for low-light situations, which may require the use of higher ISOs or slower shutter speeds.

Overall, the NIKKOR Z 180-600mm f/5.6-6.3 VR is a solid choice for photographers who require a versatile super-tele zoom lens for their Nikon Z-mount camera. With its impressive zoom range, VR technology, and compatibility with teleconverters, this lens is sure to be a popular choice among wildlife and sports photographers.
