So much reach. So much versatility.Capture thrilling photos and videos of wildlife, sports, aircraft and more with Nikon's farthest reaching zoom lens for Z series mirrorless cameras. Comfortable and balanced for quick handheld shooting. Durable and weather sealed for rough conditions. Sharp and clear across the entire 180-600mm zoom range, and compatible with teleconverters for up to 2x more reach.Expand your capabilities.The NIKKOR Z 180-600mm f/5.6-6.3 VR takes you far beyond the reach of standard and telephoto zoom lenses, making the most distant shots suddenly possible.Powerful 180mm-600mm range.At its widest setting, the NIKKOR Z 180-600mm f/5.6-6.3 VR is great for locating your subject. With a mere quarter turn of the zoom ring, you can reach all the way to 600mm for tight framing with beautiful background compression.Comfortable handheld shooting.The NIKKOR Z 180-600mm f/5.6-6.3 VR is among the lightest super-telephoto zoom lenses in its class, and since it doesn't expand/retract, it handles the same at every zoom position.Short-throw internal zoom.An all-internal design eliminates extending/retracting, improving handling, with only a 70 Degree turn needed to go from 180mm to 600mm. The design also prevents dust or moisture from entering those moving parts.Versatile close focusing.With a minimum focus distance of just 4.27 ft at the 180mm zoom position and a large 0.25x reproduction ratio, you can turn an unexpected close encounter into a once-in-a-lifetime photo or video.Up to 5.5 stops of VR.Built-in optical Vibration Reduction (VR) provides a stabilization effect equivalent to a shutter speed of 5.5 stops faster, reducing camera blur when panning to track fast-moving subjects.Sharp in low light.Built-in optical VR image stabilization also allows you to shoot at slower shutter speeds to gather more light at dusk, dawn or in a dense forest.Quiet, accurate autofocus.Reliably track your subjects without mechanical lens noise, crucial for skittish wildlife and video recording.Pairs great with Z teleconverters.Increase your reach by 2x (up to 1200mm) or 1.4x (up to 840mm) with Nikon's Z series teleconverters(sold separately).Picks up where the 70-180mm leaves off.Use both lenses together to cover the entire focal length range from 70-600mm with consistent performance and operation.TechnologyIF LensA NIKKOR lens in which only the internal lens group shifts during focusing. Thus, IF NIKKORS do not change in size during AF operation, allowing for compact, lightweight lenses capable of closer focusing distances. These lenses will be designated with the abbreviation IF on the lens barrel.Stepping MotorNIKKOR Z lenses use a stepping motor for fast, accurate, smooth, quiet autofocus with reduced wobbling. This quiet drive system makes the lenses ideal for use when shooting video.ED (Extra-Low Dispersion) GlassAn optical glass developed by Nikon that is used with normal optical glass in telephoto lenses to obtain optimum correction of chromatic aberrations.Vibration ReductionA Nikon in-lens technology that improves image stability by automatically compensating for camera shake. Lenses that offer VR will feature the abbreviation VR on the lens barrel.Fluorine CoatPhotographers need gear that can withstand the elements. Nikon's fluorine coat effectively repels dust, water droplets, grease or dirt, ensuring easy removal even when they adhere to the lens surface. Nikon's fluorine coat endures a high frequency of lens surface wiping and its anti-reflective effect also contributes to the capture of clear images.Aspherical LensA lens with a curved, non-spherical surface. Used to reduce aberrations and enable a more compact lens size. Aspherical lenses minimize coma and other types of lens aberrations, even when used at the widest aperture. They are particularly useful in correcting distortion in wide-angle lenses and help contribute to a lighter, more compact design by reducing the number of standard (spherical) elements necessary. Aspherical lens elements correct these distortions by continuously changing the refractive index from the center of the lens.A/MA/M stands for Auto-Priority Manual Mode. This mode also enables an easy transition from autofocus to manual during AF operation. However, mode switch sensitivity has been altered to reduce the possibility of sudden unintentional switching to manual focus while shooting.Electromagnetic Diaphragm MechanismAn electromagnetic diaphragm mechanism in the lens barrel provides highly accurate electronic diaphragm or aperture blade control when using auto exposure during continuous shooting.

I use this NIKKOR Z 180-600mm f/5.6-6.3 VR Lens on my Z8 for BIF (Bird in Flight) and other wildlife photography. It performs admirably...extremely sharp at all focal legths, especially at f/5.6 - f/8. It's also light enough to even handhold in most situations with a shutter speed of 1/1000 sec minimum. Of course, as with all telephoto lenses, it would perform optimally on a monopod or tripod. Highly recommended!

A superbly functional, sharp telephoto zoom!

I really enjoy my new Nikon Z180-600 lens. It is lighter than my 200-500 mm lens I have been using. The new lens combined with my Nikon Z6III works well and I have captured some amazing photos.

I do wildlife photography and the Nikon Z180-600 lens is perfect for me.

I came from a sigma 150-600 sport,  this lens is quite a bit sharper and autofocus is quite fast.  The internal zoom is a huge plus and when comparing to other zooms it's one of the lightest.  Only downfall is no switch to turn off stabilization like others, with that being said it does not have the same problems others do when having it on a tripod.  Stabilization on a tripod is great.

Highly recommend

Fast shipping from Adorama, thank you.  Been using Nikkor 180-600 for couple days and I'm very pleased.  I was taking test shots of small birds in flight when they bolted and I spotted why.  Even with no direct sunlight due to clouds, lens instantly jumped 200 yrds, locked coyote and pulled some nice detail including his little coyote tongue poking out.  All with mostly wrong camera settings for situation.

Impressive lens, better than I expected in low light.

Great lens for sports or bird photography.

Sports/Wildlife

Just buy it

Nice upgrade from the F-mount 200-500 lens

Solid for sports, wildlife, and some astro

Good for Wild life photography. Heavy to take photos by hand so i usually take a brust shots when taking with this lens or use a tripod

Good Lens in Budget

Best bang for the $$ and more! The value for this lens is just over the top!

Excellent Lens & Value!!

Reach

Absolutely love this lenses for birdiing!  Very reasonable price for the quality you get.

Great lens at a better price

Definitely a step up from my 200-500 F mount. AF hasn't always been the sharpest with my Z7II. That may also be some "operator error". Overall I think it's well worth the money. My old 200-500 is getting pretty lonely.

A definite upgrade

I've only had this lens a couple weeks, so not a lot of time to test it out, but my first impressions are good. Compared to my other lenses it is enormous. I was struck, however, that for its size it's relatively light. I've used physically smaller 70-200 lenses and they were equally heavy. I've only tried it handheld so far and have been able to get focused, crisp shots both close up and distant. Considering its size I assumed I'd have to always use a tripod or monopod. I haven't noticed any chromatic aberration or anything else that would lessen the quality of my photos. And compared to other longer focal length lenses I've used it will grab focus and take the shot at much closer distances.

Great lens

For the past several years I've been using a Sigma 150-600 sport lens and have been happy with it but the weight was always a concern. It's a bit heavy to hold steady for long periods of time. So I decided to give the Nikkor Z 180-600 a try after buying a Z8 earlier this year. The Nikkor is definitely easier to hand hold and is significantly sharper than my version of the Sigma. For those two reasons I'm very happy with the lens and would certainly buy it again based on those two reason. But there are a few things that keep me from giving it a 5 star review. First is the extensive use of plastic, which helps reduce weight, but give is a lower quality feel - especially the lens hood. Second is a minor detail but the Sigma comes with a nice padded soft sided case and the Nikkor comes with a cloth wrap. I usually have my camera bag filled with other lenses and carry the "long lens" by itself. I don't feel comfortable doing this now without a case so I need to rethink my process.

Better than what I had. Sharp and light weight for a long zoom.

Awesome lens for wildlife / birding pairing with Nikon Z8. Fast focus and very pleasing / clean bokeh. It's clearly a step up above to the Tamron 150mm - 500mm: higher hit rate on AF tracking and the day time photos have better contrast / more punch. It does drain battery faster on Z8 and its internal zoom design take up more space compared to stubby Tamron design.

Awesome wildlife / birding lens on Z8

Phenomenal lens, light weight, easy to carry, maneuver, quick to focus on a Nikon Z7.  Works great on a tripod.  Very reasonably priced compared to other super zoom lenses.

Phenomenal lens

Love it. A bit heavier than I was expecting and took some adjustments on my part. Lens is sharp and focus is fast, range is fantastic with only modest throw of ring. Definitely a great choice

While not an S lens, the NIKKOR Z 180-600mm f/5.6-6.3 VR comes very close, delivering excellent image quality at long ranges.  I admit that I was initially skeptical about a telephoto with this wide range of focal lengths at this price point.  I am happy to say that my experience with this lens has greatly exceeded my expectations.  Well done, Nikon!

Top value wildlife lens.

Excellent lens couple with my Z8- the short barrel turn to go from 180-600, I can keep my eye on my subject. AF is fast and accurate. I never use a monopod / tripod, pictures are sharp and clear. The function button on the lens, I use as DX mode as needed.

Awesome Lens- Great Value

It's lightweight, the focal point is just what I'm looking for and you won't be disappointed.

180-600

I have make Adorama my go to Camera dealer and as always, I find what I'm looking for at a great price and shipping in a timely way.  The Nikon NIKKOR Z 180-600mm f/5.6-6.3 VR Lens is an amazing lens and with the 1.4 on my Nikon Z9, my wildlife photos have stepped up a big notch.  The speed and clarity of this lens is top of the line.

I have owned some of Nikon's best exotic lenses such as the 400mmf2.8 the 180-400mmf4, and the 500mmf5.6PF which I still own.  When I first used the 180-600mm lens I was blown away as to its overall acuity and Bokeh.  Though not quite as sharp as the best primes, it is close enough that only the diehard professional would really notice or care.  A real testament to the quality of this lens is that it still has good image quality with a 1.4TC attached.  I have never had a zoom, other than the 70-200F2.8, perform as well with a TC.  This lens also can focus quite close, something that the big primes cannot do.  This is a big help when photographing small birds etc. such as hummingbirds.  It is hefty, over such lenses as the 500mmf5.6 PF, the 400mmf4.5, and the 100-400mmf4.5/5.6, but these lenses cannot get to 600mm and that is where you need to be for birds.  Period.  I use it on my Z8, which allows for precise focusing on the eyes of birds and animals, something that is quite important and not so easy with the Z6 and Z7 type cameras.  If only it weighed about a pound less!  I have included one photo below of a cat taken with the 1.4TC attached to the 180-600mm lens.

Nikon's best value lens for Nature photography.

Four months into owning this lens, I am still blown away by the image quality. I use this lens primarily for bird photography and it has been a game-changer for my hobby. I use it on my Z6ii; I shoot primarily hand-held and while hiking. 

At this price point it's a steal, and I would highly recommend it to anyone who needs reach and versatility.

Incredible value, quality

Good lens but not used much yet. Took 4 months to arrive.

Good lens

I was lucky enough to be on the list to receive the Nikon Z 180-600mm and let me tell you, it was worth the wait and the purchase. Images with my Z6II are beyond sharp and the color of those images are stunning. All I can say if you have not been lucky enough to purchase one or get on a list to purchase one, please do. For sports, wildlife and air shows, it's all you need.

The Best Nikon Super-Telephoto Lens.

This is a superb lens, from 180 to wide open.  Fantastic shots, focus is spot-on with my Z9.  You can see how focus was on the heron (locked on its eye) even while it was behind branches.  All of these shots were handheld.

Special thanks to Timothy W. at Nikon for his assistance and stellar customer service.

What a superb telephoto lens!

Pleased with image quality but too heavy for me to handhold.

Good but heavy

Excellent and versatile lens

after waiting quite some time for this thing (FOUR MONTHS), i was filled with absolute glee upon opening it. in using this (mainly as a replacement for binoculars while birding), i've gotten some images that were just unthinkable with my previous telephoto. this lens goes as far as 1700 dollars can possibly take you and possibly exceeds it! overall, totally superb lens.
