This lens is a dream come true. My husband bought it for me for my birthday. The built in TC is a game changer! I shoot handheld most of the time and I never struggle.

An absolutely brilliant lens! Its MFD is stunning, its balance perfect and its loss of weight a must. These attributes though as out shinned by its sharpness! The Z600f4 is a spectacular lens!

A wonderful lens that gives you options when you need a little more space or need to get closer. The internal TC works great; you can hand-hold it for a little while too. Being able to just flick a switch rather than take off the lens and put on the TC is huge. Images are sharp and it's a joy to shoot with. Paired with the Z9, I find it aquires subjects quickly. The 800 is also wonderful and lighter and just as sharp. Having owned the old 800 too with the D850, I find this 600 is lighter and much easier to hand hold, though I'd recommend a tripod if shooting for an extended period of time such as birds coming into an area with food and water. The bottom line is this lens is really like 2 in one; there's no loss of detail with the TC, and owning the 800 I can't tell any difference in sharpness between the two lenses shooting at 800 (840 5.6 on the 600). Having the ability to go to f4 for a little more light is great too when light gets lower. Expensive but worth every penny for great shots. Nikon has hit a home run on both this and the new 800 6.3.

My dream lens
By Jeannie S.
This lens is a dream come true. My husband bought it for me for my birthday. The built in TC is a game changer! I shoot handheld most of the time and I never struggle.
600mm f/4. Built-in 1.4x teleconverter. Totally reimagined for Z series.
The 600mm f/4 prime. A vital lens prized by motor sports, action and wildlife pros for its reach, speed, brightness and image quality. Empowered by the larger Z mount, Nikon has reimagined this lens for today's high-performance mirrorless cameras. Lighter. Faster. Sharper. And with a brilliant trick up its sleeve: a built-in 1.4x teleconverter that transforms the lens into a powerful yet bright 840mm f/5.6 with the flip of a switch.
600mm. 840mm. Your call.
Without taking your eyes off your subject, breaking posture or even releasing the camera grip, engage the built-in teleconverter and instantly get 40% closer to your subject, 840mm f/5.6. No hurried gear changes. No loss of image quality or AF performance. No risk of missing the moment that matters.
Get even more reach.
Stack an external teleconverter onto the rear of the NIKKOR Z 600mm f/4 TC VR S lens and magnify your subject with no loss of image quality. Video creators can use the 2.3x Crop Mode and record 4K video from staggering distances.
Astonishing sharpness.
Six specialized lens elements work together to prevent light dispersion and produce the sharpest, clearest images imaginable: Two Extra-low Dispersion (ED) and one Super ED glass elements, two lightweight Fluorite (FL) elements and a Short-wavelength Refractive (SR) element.
Striking subject isolation.
The NIKKOR Z 600mm f/4 TC VR S produces beautiful, natural bokeh. When combined with the compression of 600mm, subjects take on a three-dimensional quality that adds drama and depth to your images.
Cut through glare.
Nikon's Meso Amorphous Coat achieves the highest level of anti-reflection performance in NIKKOR history. Shoot into direct light with virtually no ghosting or flare. Nano Crystal Coat (N) prevents internal reflections and cross-lighting when shooting under the lights at sporting events.
Autofocus. Swift. Silent. Spot-on.
Using lag-reducing magnetic force, Nikon's Silky Swift Voice Coil Motor (VCM) is able to move large lens elements with ultra-fast acceleration and the smoothest, quietest operation of any Nikon AF drive system. An absolute encoder (ABS) monitors the system's movements with 20X more precision and speed than conventional solutions for a new level of accuracy.
Even the slightest camera shake can soften details. In-lens optical VR image stabilization counteracts vibrations from handheld shooting, panning, tripod movements, wind-anything-with an effect equivalent to shooting at a shutter speed up to 5.0 stops1 faster. When used on a camera with Synchro VR, the in-lens and in-camera VR systems work together and achieve an effect up to 5.5 stops2. SPORT Mode stabilizes the viewfinder image, making it easier to acquire and track fast-moving subjects.
Outstanding for video.
In-lens Optical VR gives you a stable, sharp view while recording. Use the smooth focus ring to make gradual focus changes and the click-less control ring to make iris adjustments that create a natural shift in brightness without flickering. A powerful focus-breathing compensation function maintains a consistent angle-of-view as focus position moves, an effect that virtually eliminates focus breathing.
SPORT Mode is recommended for video applications.
S-Line excellence.
The NIKKOR Z 600mm f/4 TC VR S bears the S-Line designation, reserved for premium NIKKOR Z lenses with the most advanced optics, superior resolution, beautiful bokeh, robust weather sealing and precision design.
Built for hardworking pros.
14.5% lighter.
550g lighter than the Nikon F-mount 600mm f/4 prime lens, even with the built-in teleconverter.
Easy to hold.
The center of gravity is at the tripod ring for smoother panning on monopods and tripods and more stable handheld shooting.
Carry-on approved.
Carefully designed to meet airline carry-on size requirements. Keep it safely with you-and out of checked baggage-when flying.
Weather-sealed and rugged.
Rubber gaskets keep dust, dirt and moisture out of all moving parts, including the mount. Magnesium alloy makes the lens barrel strong yet lightweight, and Nikon's non-stick Fluorine coat on the front element repels oil, moisture and smudges.
No-look controls.
Comfortably access the L-Fn1, L-Fn2 and Memory Set buttons, the Fn ring, control ring and focus ring and the teleconverter switch without breaking shooting posture or taking your eye off the viewfinder.
Recall stored focus positions.
Save a focus position with the Memory Set button. As your subject approaches the decisive moment, instantly snap back to that saved position by rotating the Fn ring-a comfortable, no-look action to ensure you land the shot.

Meso Amorphous Coat realizes the highest anti-reflection performance in NIKKOR history. Meso Amorphous Coat provides an effect superior to that of Nano Crystal Coat for diagonal incident light, and an effect equivalent or superior to ARNEO Coat for vertical incident light. With its superb performance, ghost and flare caused by incident light from various directions are noticeably reduced, delivering clear images even under harsh conditions.f With this coating system, amorphous particles, that are even smaller than nano particles, are utilized to create even more gaps within the coating to form an ultra-fine mesoporous structure, attaining a lower refractive index. In addition, a higher-precision base coat is employed to further enhance the anti-reflection effect.
Nano Crystal Coat
An anti-reflective coating developed by Nikon that virtually eliminates internal lens element reflections across a wide range of wavelengths. Nano Crystal Coat solves ghost effects caused by red light and effectively reduces ghost and flare caused by light entering the lens diagonally.
Fluorine Coat
Photographers 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.
Nikon has also developed Super ED glass featuring even lower dispersion properties and extremely high performance in reducing the secondary spectrum, to minimize chromatic aberration even further, as well as other lens aberrations.
ED (Extra-Low Dispersion) Glass
An optical glass developed by Nikon that is used with normal optical glass in telephoto lenses to obtain optimum correction of chromatic aberrations.
Short-Wavelength Refractive Lens
SR is a high- and specialized-dispersion glass lens that refracts light with wavelengths shorter than that of blue. By controlling short-wavelength light, the lens is able to achieve highly precise chromatic aberration compensation so that the colors in your images are more accurately reproduced. It also allows for more flexible optical designs, which allows for compact, lighter lenses to be designed.
Silky Swift VCM
The Silky Swift VCM is utilized for NIKKOR Z lenses as an AF drive motor. This system simultaneously achieves higher speed, higher accuracy and quieter operation. Each of these factors far surpasses conventional systems, and as for the "quietness" specifically, drive sound is intensively suppressed to an almost-silent level. Even heavy lenses can be controlled accurately at high speed, with minimal noise or vibration, enabling users to reliably capture sharply focused images. Extremely quiet AF operation is specifically advantageous for shooting in places where silence is required and for video recording.
Vibration Reduction
A 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.
