Technical Details

Nikon Nikkor Z 600mm f/6.3 VR S Lens The NIKKOR Z 600mm f/6.3 VR S Lens, Nikon's newest super-telephoto, full-frame, mirrorless prime, is a feat of engineering that achieves superb optical resolution in a handheld design that's less than half the weight of its predecessor.

Thanks to a size-reducing Phase Fresnel element, this lens measures under a foot in length and boasts a front filter thread of 95mm. It's the perfect choice for sports, wildlife, and action photographers seeking exceptional imagery without sacrificing precious kit space.

Key Features

• Size-reducing Phase Fresnel element
• 95mm front filter thread
• Two extra-low dispersion elements
• Optical Vibration Reduction
• Nikon Stepping Motor for autofocus
• 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.

Two extra-low dispersion elements and a short-wave refractive element reduce chromatic aberrations and prevent light dispersion, whilst the Nano Crystal Coating helps reduce flare and improve clarity, especially with point lights like stars and city lights.

Stabilisation and Autofocus

VR Image Stabilisation and Autofocus 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 stabilisation 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 stabilisation, the equivalent of shooting at shutter speeds up to 6 stops faster.

The lens' autofocus is powered by the Nikon Stepping Motor, a near-silent AF drive system designed to keep up with fast, erratic subjects like birds and motorsports.

The absence of mechanical noise greatly benefits the use of Continuous AF when tracking subjects whilst taking video. Additionally, focus breathing is suppressed and a precision electromagnetic diaphragm allows for smooth, step-less aperture adjustments whilst recording.
