On 14 December 2021, Nikon announced that a Nikkor Z 800mm f/6.3 VR S lens is in development. It will be the first lens to feature a PF lens in a Z model.
This lens will also join the S-Line. It is not yet known when this lens will become available.
An S-Line lens is a class of lens that promises excellent optical quality. The Nikkor Z 800mm f/6.3 VR S naturally belongs in this category. The lens features a PF (Phase Fresnel) lens for the first time. This makes a relatively compact and lightweight lens possible.
Together with the Z 400mm f/2.8, Nikon will meet the needs of sports and wildlife photographers in the not too distant future, making a perfect combination with the new Nikon Z 9 possible.
Until then, the excellent Z 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 is the only alternative with a Z-mount when it comes to focal lengths beyond 200mm. Of course, all other super-telephoto lenses can also be used on Z cameras with the FTZ adapter.
It is not yet known when the Z 800mm f/6.3 VR S will come to market.
