If you are looking for a lightweight super-telephoto lens, the Nikkor Z 600mm f/6.3 VR S is now an option. The f/6.3 aperture has made it possible to keep it relatively compact and lightweight.

The Z 600mm f/6.3 VR is a super-telephoto lens from the S-line. It weighs almost 1.5 kilograms, making it the lightest in its class. Nikon has kept the centre of gravity as close to the camera as possible, ensuring optimal balance.

The lens has image stabilisation that can provide up to 6 stops of stabilisation. Combine this with its low weight and you can essentially use the Z 600mm f/6.3 VR S handheld. The autofocus is fast and quiet.

Is a 600mm focal length not enough? You can extend the focal length to 1200mm with the 2x teleconverter, or to 840mm with the 1.4x teleconverter.

The lens has a sharp price of 5799 euros and will be available from October 2023.
