Review Summary

Rated 5 out of 5

Handheld joy

This is a really good lens for walk about wildlife and other types of photography. It is not a dark light lens, but paired with a Z9 can work reasonably well at dusk as long as you are not afraid to shoot at high ISOs (10K+). In good light it is fantastic, sharp and produces reasonable bokeh. I never carry my tripod or monopod any more since ths lens makes handheld shots easy. I have really enjoyed it with backyard birding, wildlife and am looking forward to the coming eagle season. Couple of quibbles; a better hood would help, the current design can require 2 hands to remove it sometimes. A tripod ring with actual stops (like the more expensive lenses) for going from landscape to portrait modes, would have been a nice touch but it is all about makig a buck:)

Fantastic! Join the 600mm Prime users.

Grab this lens! I use this on the Z9, and I absolutely love it. Instant focus, bright view and stunning images, over and over again. Light enough for hand holding, handles very well. I purchased mine at B-H, as I had a credit there. I prefer dealing with Nikon USA direct, my recent 180-600 purchase from here.

Just purchased the Z9 and the 600mm F6.3, this combination is amazing, 7puunds of ultra-fast focusing with a long reach for wildlife. I have been using the D500 with the 200-400 F4 VII which is a great set up. Still using this set up, but for distance the 600mm F6.3 is sharper and faster focusing with the Z9. The Z9 and the 600 F6.3 is Awesome, and the cost for both is way less than the 600mm F4 lens. We have been Nikon shooters since 1978!

Best yet birding lens. Run, do not walk, to your local camera store, to get one.

I was using the 500 f/4 F mount (a superb lens) with a 1.4X teleconverter on a D850. This lens, on a Z9, is lighter, easily hand-holdable, just as sharp at least, focuses faster, and even costs less (only an arm vs. and arm and a leg :-) Kidding aside, those folks to whom I send copies of my bird-in-flight pictures have commented that my most recent pictures, taken with this lens, are better. So the impartial (well...some of them are relatives :-) jury has spoken.

Great Lens

Image quality is clear and sharp, focus speed feels a bit faster than than my 500mm PF. I'm really happy with my new lens.

This is my first ever Super Prime S-line Lens - And I love it!

I purchased this lens mainly because of its size and weight and I haven't been disappointed. I have yet to take a monopod with me, something I would never do with the other telephoto lens I had. As a prime lens, I can feel the quality and never having a prime lens like this I've had to adjust to the reach it provides. I shot the moon, sun, various birds, and aircraft and I can't wait to test it in other ways. The Z 600 f/6.3 VR S has no problem with the TC-2.0x teleconverter. It's AF is fast and the f/6.3 has not prevented me late into the day. Great job, Nikon.

A handheld 600mm prime in a class of its own.
Pack lighter, react faster and cover more distance with the shortest, lightest 600mm prime lens Nikon has ever created. Designed around a size-reducing Phase Fresnel (PF) lens element, the NIKKOR Z 600mm f/6.3 VR S enables bird, wildlife, motorsports and aircraft photographers to perform in the field with tremendous mobility and spontaneity.

• S-Line Premium Optics
• 600mm Super-Telephoto
• Prime 1390g
• Lightweight
• PF Phase Fresnel Element
• VR Image Stabilization (6.0 stops)
• Z Mount Full-Frame/FX Format

So much power in your hands.
Leave the tripod and monopod at home and live in the moment, quickly acquiring faraway subjects and tracking them with controlled precision.

Just 11 inches long and 3 pounds.
The NIKKOR Z 600mm f/6.3 VR S fits comfortably in most backpacks and carry-on luggage, and it's light enough to be shot all day with less fatigue.

Outstanding balance & handling.
The center of gravity is shifted toward the camera, giving you more speed and control when panning and making the lens feel even lighter.

600mm draws you in.
An essential focal length for motorsport action, birds and wildlife, 600mm closes vast distances and brings the heart of the story to your viewfinder.

Get even closer.
Add an optional Z series teleconverter and extend your view up to 1200mm. Switch to DX Crop Mode in-camera for an additional 1.5x boost to your angle of view.

Stunning clarity down to the smallest detail.
Specialized ED and SR lens elements work together to prevent light dispersion and produce the sharpest images imaginable. Fine details and intricate patterns, like those found in the feathers of birds, are rendered with lifelike accuracy.

Cut through backlighting and glare.
Nikon's anti-reflection coating, Nano Crystal Coat (N), greatly reduces ghosting and flare, even against bright backgrounds with direct sunlight.

Fast, reliable autofocus.
The NIKKOR Z 600mm f/6.3 VR S lens is powered by the Nikon Stepping Motor (STM), an incredibly accurate, near-silent AF drive system designed to keep up with fast, erratic subjects like birds and motorsports, where you have only an instant to nail the shot.

Up to 6.0 stops of VR.
Built-in optical VR achieves an effect of shooting up to 6.0 stops faster on a camera that supports Synchro VR and 5.5 stops faster on all other Z series cameras.

Versatile video performance.
The NIKKOR Z 600mm f/6.3 VR S lens operates with virtually no mechanical noise, so you can confidently use Continuous AF to track subjects. Focus breathing is heavily suppressed, maintaining your framing as your focus position changes. And the precision electromagnetic diaphragm lets you make smooth, stepless aperture adjustments while recording.

Nothing holding you back.

Advanced weather sealing.
Rubber gaskets keep dust, dirt and moisture out of moving parts, including the lens mount. Perfect dustproof and waterproof performance is not guaranteed under all conditions.

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 using the Fn or Fn2 buttons.

Nonstick protective coating.
The front element has Nikon's nonstick Fluorine Coat, which repels oil, moisture and smudges and easily wipes clean.

The S-Line advantage.
At the top of the NIKKOR Z lineup are special lenses developed in pursuit of a higher level of optical performance-lenses that push the boundaries of traditional design, meet a higher standard of quality and enable new forms of image creation.

Form meets function.

Screw-on filters.
Uses standard 95mm threaded circular filters.

Assignable control ring.
Smooth and clickless, use it to adjust aperture, ISO, exposure compensation and more.

Assignable L-Fn buttons.
Map them to subject tracking, AF Lock, image playback and more. For convenient reach, L-Fn2 is available from four separate locations around the lens barrel.

Kensington Security Slot.
Compatible with pro-grade cable locks to keep your camera safe and secure in remote shooting situations.

Quick-release tripod foot.
Rotate the lens from landscape to portrait. Quickly release the foot for handheld shooting.

Focus limit switch.
Activate to ignore foreground elements closer than 10 meters.

• Lens weighs approx. 1,390g excluding the tripod collar and approx. 1,470g including the tripod collar
• Built-in optical VR achieves an effect of shooting up to 6.0 stops faster on a camera that supports Synchro VR and 5.5 stops faster on all other Z series cameras

Technology

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.

Phase Fresnel
Phase Fresnel (PF) lens elements effectively compensate for chromatic aberration and ghosting when combined with ordinary glass lens elements. The PF lens element is based upon the Phase Fresnel lens, which appears to have a series of concentric circles engraved onto it. Utilizing a Phase Fresnel lens element allows Nikon engineers to use fewer lens elements, resulting in a more compact and lightweight lens. Due to the characteristics of a PF (Phase Fresnel) lens that utilizes the photo diffraction phenomenon, when there is a strong light source within the frame or when light enters the lens from outside of the frame, ring-shaped colored flare may occur according to shooting conditions. This phenomenon can be minimized with "PF Flare Control" to be included in Capture NX-D (ver.1.1.0 or later). For more information, see software Help/manual. Capture NX-D is available from the Nikon website. Be sure to keep your software up to date.

A/M
A/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.

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.

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.

Electromagnetic Diaphragm Mechanism
An electromagnetic diaphragm mechanism in the lens barrel provides highly accurate electronic diaphragm or aperture blade control when using auto exposure during continuous shooting.

Stepping Motor
NIKKOR 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.

IF Lens
A 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.
