Description
Description
Wildlife reach, steady shots—surprisingly agile.
If your world is birds, wildlife, airshows, field sports—or just far-away moments—you’ll love how this super-tele zoom handles. The internal zoom keeps balance consistent, VR keeps handheld frames sharp, and close-focus capability invites unexpected detail shots between the action. It’s quick, quiet, weather-ready, and built for the kind of days that start before sunrise and end after golden hour.
What you’ll notice in use
-
Huge, usable reach: 180–600mm covers everything from scouting at the wide end to tight, background-compressed frames at 600mm. Compatible with Nikon Z teleconverters for up to 2× more reach.
-
Rock-steady handhelds: Built-in VR rated up to 5.5 stops helps keep stills sharp and video smooth.
-
Internal zoom, short throw: Lens length doesn’t change, and it takes only about a 70° twist to go from 180 to 600—stable on gimbals, tripods, and long handheld sessions.
-
Closer than you’d expect: Focus to 1.3 m at 180mm or 2.4 m at 600mm with 0.25× max reproduction—great for larger-than-life detail.
-
Quiet, confident AF: Stepping-motor (STM) autofocus is fast and silent for skittish subjects and clean audio in video.
-
Ready for weather: Design considers dust- and drip-resistance, with a fluorine-coated front element for easier cleaning. Focus breathing is also suppressed for video.

Who it’s for
