Red Dot Design Award 2024 – NIKKOR Z 600mm f/6.3 VR S
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.
Stills or video—capture the speed, power, and grace of distant subjects with the NIKKOR Z 600mm f/6.3 VR S prime lens. Lightweight and balanced for handheld shooting. Crisp and clear at any aperture.
Wildlife, birds, motor sports, airplanes, and more. Nail striking images with all the sharpness and pleasing bokeh that only an S-line prime lens can deliver.
Sharp, even with a teleconverter. You get superb detail and clarity, even if you’re shooting straight into the sunset—or with a teleconveter attached. SR and ED glass control aberrations and colour fringing. Nano Crystal Coat counters ghosting and flare.
Autofocus that stays on track. From aerial tricks to birds in flight, or a fleeting moment of eye contact. This super-telephoto lens will track and focus on your subject in near silence: ideal for birds and wildlife, or if shooting video.
Up to 6-stop VR for steady low-light shots. Shooting at dusk, dawn, or in a dense forest? In-lens optical Vibration Reduction (VR) provides stabilisation equivalent to shooting at 5.5 stops slower, or 6.0 stops with a Z camera that supports Synchro VR.
The lightest 600mm prime in its class. Weighing approximately 1470 g (with tripod collar) and with its centre of gravity closer to the camera body, this long lens moves fluidly with you. Perfect if panning — or framing a tight overhead shot!
With the lightest body in its class*, realized by the employment of a Phase Fresnel (PF) lens element, as well as superior weight balance, agile shooting for capturing decisive moments of distant subjects is enabled, even handheld.
*Among f/6.3 and faster lenses, including those with a focal length of 600 mm, for full-frame/FX-format interchangeable-lens mirrorless cameras, available as of October 11, 2023. Statement based on Nikon research.
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.
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.
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.
The adoption of a stepping motor (STM) achieves fast and accurate AF while also ensuring excellent quietness with reduced operational sounds — essential in sensitive situations.
Powerful Vibration Reduction (VR) function with an effect equivalent to a 5.5-stop* increase in shutter speed allows shooting handheld without the worry of camera shake. When using a camera that is compatible with Synchro VR activation, the effect extends to 6.0 stops*.
*Based on CIPA Standard; in NORMAL mode, when attached to a full-frame/FX-format mirrorless camera.
The lens body demonstrates superior dust- and drip-resistant performance*, while anti-fouling fluorine coat is applied to the frontmost lens element, letting users continue shooting uninterrupted, even in adverse conditions.
*Thorough dust- and drip-resistance is not guaranteed in all situations and under all conditions.
