The NIKKOR Z 600mm f/6.3 VR S Lens, the latest super-telephoto, full-frame, mirrorless prime from Nikon, delivers premium optical resolution in a handheld build less than half the weight of its predecessor.  The lens is under a foot long and features a front filter thread of 95mm, making it ideal for sports, wildlife, and action photographers craving optimal imagery without compromising valuable kit space. The lens' autofocus is powered by the Nikon Stepping Motor, a near-silent AF drive system designed to keep up with fast, erratic subjects like birds and motorsports. The absence of mechanical noise greatly benefits the use of Continuous AF when tracking subjects while taking video. Additionally, focus breathing is suppressed and a precision electromagnetic diaphragm allows for smooth, step-less aperture adjustments while recording. Nikon has furnished to further encourage shooters with the lens' built-in optical Vibration Reduction, which achieves up to 5.5 stops of image stabilization on all Z series cameras. With cameras that support Synchro VR, such as the Nikon Zf, Z8, and Z9 mirrorless cameras, a crucial extra half-stop is gained in image stabilization, the equivalent of shooting at a shutter speed up to 6 stops faster. The front rubber grip encourages a stable, comfortable shooting posture in any configuration, while the tripod collar smoothly rotates for shooting in any orientation. The lens' advanced weather sealing is rated to keep dust, dirt, and moisture out of moving parts for safe use in the elements, while a Kensington Security Slot keeps your lens safe from theft with the use of optional pro-grade cable locks. The use of an optional Z series teleconverter can extend the focal length to up to 1200mm, while the in-camera DX Crop mode increases your angle of view by 1.5x.
