Nikon has expanded its range of Z-series lenses with the professional Z 600mm f/4 lens, featuring a built-in 1.4x teleconverter. This super-telephoto lens is ideal for sports, wildlife and bird photographers. It will make a serious dent in your wallet.
The new NIKKOR Z 600mm f/4 TC VR S lens is a professional lens. The weight of 3,260 grams may sound like a lot, but it can be considered light for a lens of this type. Whether it can be easily used handheld probably depends on the photographer.
The Silky Swift focusing system is fast and extremely quiet, making it ideal for nature photographers. It has a Meso Amorphous Coating to prevent ghosting and flare, even when there are several light sources in the frame. The VR in this lens provides up to 5.5 stops of stabilisation.
Is 600mm focal length not enough for you? The built-in 1.4x teleconverter can easily be switched into place, even while shooting. This turns it into an 840mm focal length, with f/5.6 as the maximum aperture. You can also attach an additional teleconverter if you wish.
Although the lens is sealed against dust and moisture, Nikon does not guarantee that this will actually be the case under all circumstances.
The lens will be available from the end of November. The recommended retail price is 17,249 euros.
