NIKKOR Z Lens 180-600mm f/5.6-6.3 VR Powerful Range | Internal Zoom Full | Frame/FX-format

It’s what you would expect from Nikon Great lens Nice weight Great results

Saca unas fotos súper nítidas y el bokeh me encanta. Pero eso sí… pesa mucho

This lens is large, heavy, pricey and completely worth it. I've been on waitlists to buy this lens for months and finally decided to pay a rather hefty premium (~17%) through a reputable Amazon seller just to obtain it. As much as I hate to spend over list price, I'm glad I did. It's simply not as available as I'd like. Curse you, "Supply and Demand"! You win again! [grin] I've been impressed with the clarity of the photos taken with this lens. The internal zoom keeps the lens nicely balanced on a tripod or when using the tripod mount hand-held. I've read comments about images not being as crisp at 600mm as the are at 180-360mm or so compared to a 600mm prime lens. I have to say that I can't think of any telephoto zoom lenses I've ever used (Nikon, Canon, Zuiko) that can compare to their telephoto prime counterparts. The optics are simply different. I agree that there is some degradation at 600mm with this lens, but for my purposes it is negligible. As an example, the attached photo was taken with a Nikon Z7-II at full zoom, 600mm, ISO 64, f/6.3 at 1/400s. I didn't expect this beautiful bird to show up and I had no tripod handy, so this was taken hand-held. Focus centered on the eagle's wing and as can be seen in the cropped image, the detail is fantastic. DOF is pretty narrow, though. Look closely at the wing feathers to see how sharp the lens is. I've been extremely pleased with this lens and recommend it highly if you need the versatility of 180mm to 600mm. Maybe Nikon will ramp up production?

I went from a Tamron 150-600 for my D850 to this with my Z9, since the Tamron didn't work with my Z9 at all. I LOVE the quality, I LOVE that thr lens doesn't extend with using zoom (but it's something to get used to!).

Excellent zoom lens - sharp and relatively easy to use handheld. Good value for a refurbished lens! Obviously, don't expect any possible Bokeh effect, but that's not what it is meant for!
