Nikon NIKKOR Z 600mm f/6.3 VR S Lens

Premium Optics, Game-Changing Size

An engineering marvel of miniaturization, the NIKKOR Z 600mm f/6.3 VR S Lens, the latest super-telephoto full-frame prime from Nikon, delivers premium optical resolution in a handheld build less than half the weight of its predecessor. Powered by a size-reducing Phase Fresnel element, the lens is under a foot long and features a front filter thread of 95mm, making it ideal for sports, wildlife, and action photographers craving optimal imagery without compromising valuable kit space.

Comfort, Clarity, Handheld Carry

At two-thirds the length and less than half the size of the previous version, the NIKKOR Z 600mm f/6.3 VR S achieves its carry-around design and precision, S-series optical resolution through the introduction of a Phase Fresnel element in the lens and reducing the lens' maximum aperture to f/6.3. Small enough to fit in most kit bags even when attached to a camera body, the lens' 95mm front thread enhances its versatility by allowing the use of light-altering filters. Extra-low dispersion elements and a short-wave refractive element reduce chromatic aberrations, while the Nano Crystal Coating helps reduce flare and improve clarity, especially with point lights like stars and city lights.

VR Image Stabilization

As if handheld carry wasn't enough, Nikon has furnished further encouragement for freewheeling shooters with the lens' built-in optical Vibration Reduction, which achieves up to 5.5 stops of image stabilization on all Z series cameras. With cameras that support Synchro VR, such as the Nikon Zf, Z8, and Z9 mirrorless cameras, a crucial extra half-stop is gained in image stabilization, the equivalent of shooting at a shutter speeds up to 6 stops faster.

Body, Handling, and Ergonomics

While the drastic size reduction grabs the design and engineering spotlight, a number of customizable controls are also effectively distributed about the lens for both ergonomics and efficiency:
